Oh tiz always scary posting on a new thread. In a state of psychosis, I posted on the LGBT Chat thread then panicked and deleted it. Except Mazz had already replied to my post So then I replied, but he deleted his reply! Then I deleted my reply but he had already replied to it! We went round in circles for a while

No worries! No need to be scared - as TLG said, no one bites (except me - but only occasionally )

Wait, shouldn't WE be biting YOU, if you're a banana?

I get this from time to time. I tell my mum I feel "on edge" and she'll be like "why?" and I'll be like or say something that sounds really trivial to her but isn't to me.

Not sure what to suggest to help you feel safer but please know that you're not a wimp AT ALL

Nothing to be sorry for Posting in here for the first time definitely requires courage.



Wolfie does too sometimes

Ah, so I have fair warning if you take a nibble... How are you?

Oh poor Mazz! Bless him. I imagine he was panicking when he realised!

Maybe Just don't hurt me

Thanks for posting at least I'm not alone. I agree about the trivial thing too last night I thought I saw a shadow looking through the door it took me ages to calm down and sleep after the worst thing is that not giving an answer tends to make my wife angry which makes me more upset.

How're things with you? Still in relapse? Hope not.

Hey everyone. Have never posted in here because I've never had the guts to but I've read the thread for a long time. Now seems as good a time as any to post. I hope that's okay!







I get this quite a lot, I'll either be really paranoid and on edge or be totally terrified of nothing what-so-ever. Spent the whole of a holiday sleeping on a sofa in the living room where my dad was because it was the only room I wasn't curled up in a ball crying because I was so afraid. And there was nothing to be scared of- I was literally afraid of nothing. I couldn't explain it to anyone- it was just pure terror that rushed over me and seemed to come from nowhere. Sometimes I find it helps just being around other people, other times the only thing for it (for me anyway) is to curl up in a ball and wait for it to pass. Sorry that isn't much help at all but I do know what you're talking about so you're not the only one! And it doesn't make you pathetic or a wimp at all. Please don't think that!

I'm sorry your wife got angry. My mum doesn't mind too much when I don't have a reason. In fact, usually it's my reasons that make her cross, coz she thinks I should get over myself

Wasn't proper relapse in the end, just a blip. My boss was very nice and gave me time off work, which made me feel like a skank, but hopefully it means I can do the last week of my internship and finish in one piece

You're right actually she probably would have got more angry if I gave a reason as she thinks my theories are stupid. *sigh*

I'm really glad to hear it was just a blip good luck with the rest of your internship.

I'm okay thanks! Having a better night after a rubbish day. How are you?

If you're having those thoughts you should definitely mention them. There is no negative to this really. It will help the therapist assess the situation. If you hide them from her she is really working in the dark a bit and you might not get the right treatment. If you also mention these to your GP then he can adapt your medication which can really help deal with these thoughts too. If they are pretty constant then it means your meds are not sorted properly yet.

In the meantime a big HUG.

So sorry you're feeling so rubbish. I can understand why it's difficult to talk about things like that I think going back to the GP is a very good idea though. Do you have anyone (friends/family) who you can talk to about this? I hope you feel better soon, sorry I can't give much advice, but hang on in there, things most definitely can get better

Hey everyone. Have never posted in here because I've never had the guts to but I've read the thread for a long time. Now seems as good a time as any to post. I hope that's okay!

Thanks for replying I'm not on any antidepressants because the GP feels it is too risky due to my age and increased suicide risk with their use etc. So not sure what she will do if I go back

That's right - you can't say you haven't been warned
I'm feeling alright thanks - not great but not awful. How are you doing?

Welcome to the thread.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one although obviously bad that someone else is suffering. Right now I'm feeling really scared, it's 4.30pm and I've only left my bed for cereal earlier otherwise I'm doing your curl in a ball tactic.
I've got work to do I shouldn't be giving in to my fears.

Hey!

Aha same here. It's going to be a long night.

That was a big fat waste of time. I knew it would happen. Doc can't prescribe anything like diazepam because of pregnancy so gave me a prescription for a tiny amount of sertraline. I couldn't explain it all to him because of numbness. All anger has gone. I feel hopeless and scared and I knew it would be a ****ing waste of time. I felt like I wasted his time too. He said he didn't know why 111 booked me an appointment because there was nothing he could do. I don't know what the point of anything is. If I can't get help then how am I supposed to function like a normal person. So ****ing helpless.

Thanks for the reply I don't have anyone I feel I can really speak to about it. I live at home with my parents and brother but my mum has to shoulder listening to them about their problems so gets upset when I talk about feeling down. There's no way I could tell her what I really think about

Glad you're alright.
I'm okay thanks! Can tell I wont sleep much tonight but there's nothing new there.

Hey!
How are you?
