To anyone in need of a laugh, would recommend this week's "Would I Lie to You?". Normally watch it casually but I'm hard to get an actual laugh out of, but this week's was excellent. Feel marginally more set up for the day's revision now. :smile:

No running pleaseee. I'd say no vodka but the way they're being with you at the moment is ridiculous :hugs:

I will hopefully speak to you later. Can't cope at the moment my mind is haywire today so won't be much use to speak to anyway right now.

Hi, hope you're all feeling well today. I've been casually spying on you guys' posts for a while now :rolleyes:

so I figure it's about time to introduce myself.

I'm a bit of a confused mess, not really sure how I feel most of the time. I have some sort of mix of ocd and depression apparently. For me the depression peaked a few months back and I got paranoid and a bit self destructive so around then I decided to get help before I did myself permanent damage. Eventually I got a referral and since then things have been going well. Now instead of only getting occasional days where I can just about stomach life i'm getting more good days where I don't have to try to be happy and I just am. I'm still down and un-motivated most of the time and I still get the sort of thoughts I did before now and then but they're less intrusive and I can push them away. It still gets me down but it's no gunna stop me from getting on with my life any more. I still have some work to do but things are looking up. I have a sense of hope now that I don't think I ever really had before. Progress is slow but I have faith i'll get there in the end.

Well that's me. Now to force myself to do some revision. Have a lovely day everyone :biggrin:

Yeah me too, though I loved "8 out of 10 cats does countdown". Thought that was the perfect combination of geek and comedy. :love:

Plus I adore Jon Richardson just a tiiiny bit.

Surely there's no such thing as a boring day this close to exams? :tongue:

I'd recommend showering and maybe a cup of tea for some energy, clearing yourself a revision space and giving that a go. Not long until exams are over and you'll be glad of any work you did once they are over.

I'm sorry you're not feeling safe. Having some eating issues myself and it's really helpful to me to view my body as a tool (and a pretty awesome one at that). So like today I'm planning quite a few hours of revision (2.5 down, 3.5 to go!) and I need to eat every few hours if I want to be able to do that. Viewing calories as fuel for me to get **** done is helpful because it stops me thinking about what I deserve or whatever and makes me view it in a more pragmatic (and I think healthier) way.

I hope the psychiatrist is helpful on Tuesday. It might be a good idea to write some notes down to get the most that you can out of the appointment. Are you thinking you'll be started on new meds or is there anything else that he can help with, etc? I think if you write down what you are expecting or hoping for from the appointment it helps you not to forget and to assert exactly what might help.

I'm glad you're getting better, that's really great to hear. I'm doing better now than I was a couple of months ago, and progress really is hard sometimes. I don't know about you, but it's kind of up and down and wobbly for me, and I have to work really hard to accept the slumps and not just be like "oh nooooo I'm falling back into severe depression!" and not to push myself too hard on the days I feel ok.

I hope you'll get a lot out of MHSS. :smile:

Getting work done today, and feeling loosely positive about it. Finding it hard to concentrate but literally just forcing myself to take control of the things that I do have control over, and (wo)man the **** up (totally healthy attitude right? :tongue:

Whest you haha, I can fly away from everyone so no one can hurt me, now that's a skill :wink:

Haha, if I'm stressed I'm quite the opposite.. wide awake worrying :rolleyes:

Been speaking to a few others on Skype the last few nights so it's not all bad :yep:

Oops, I feel like a crap feminist for automatically assuming your psychiatrist was a guy. :colondollar:

I'm obviously not a psychiatrist but it drives me up the wall when medical professionals label people as treatment resistant and then claim that means that no meds will work because it just doesn't. Treatment resistance is a failure to respond to (I think) 3 or more meds, including at least two different classes. Under that definition, I'm also 'treatment resistant,' because I didn't respond to citalopram, sertraline or venlafaxine. Now I'm on a more aggressive combination (venlafaxine and mirtazapine) I've seen a pretty good response. Unless they've tried you on combinations and meds from classes other than SSRIs and SNRIs (which have similar modes of action), there's no way they can judge that meds will never help.

There are people on here who have tried more than half a dozen meds before they found a class or a combination which helped them, and I think any decent psychiatrist will keep trying meds if depression is severe enough. Just my opinion, though. I find CBT to be far more effective when I approach it with moderate depression than during severe depressive periods where I'm just completely numb to any help. Sorry, I hope none of that came across as rude to the psychiatrist or anything... I just know I would have felt totally hopeless if they weren't trying more meds for me, after being depressed for 5 years in this episode (have had 2 other episodes in the past, so similarly to you I had depression during childhood).

:hugs:

If you haven't had much to eat today, you might find that doing that helps with revision. My focus is bad with depression but when I combine depression with not eating properly it just goes out the window entirely.

I'm glad to hear things are looking up for you! What was it that helped you get better? Therapy, medication, other stuff?

I've had depression for around six years now i think, sometimes its hard to remember when it really started, since you often have that "denial" period where you dont think you are, you just think its you that's making a big deal of everything.

Most days i feel pretty ****...working to make things better but i dont see myself ever truly getting better.

#TeamIBelieveFireMoose :biggrin:

Try and take a break from it, and go off and do something else. Maybe go for a walk and clear your head? I know when I'm feeling that towards work, I go off and watch telly or something and then come back to with a much clearer head.
