is there anyone you could text who might be able to help maybe? try and stay calm if you can, focusing on your breathing can help in my experience when things are getting to me! can you text/call someone you know? I know it's not the same but maybe just knowing they are out there will help you a bit?!
I'm sure they aren't!
Everything thats happened this week has just all of a sudden got too much

Im new to this thread but just wondered of anyone else has been prescribed risperidone??? I started taking it yesterday (been on 30g citalopram for 5 years) & have had horrid side effects, dizziness is the worst, feel like I cant go outside in case I'll fall over!!! Someone tell me it'll get better or i'll have to stop taking it!!!
I'm on risperidone and have been for about 3 weeks now. This morning I fainted in the shower I was so dizzy but I just increased the dose so I think that is why. The dizziness should wear off over time. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, but I wouldn't nor don't tell people any secrets cause they're just that 'secrets'. also due to me not talking to pretty much anyone, I don't really have anyone to tell my secrets too. My isolation is partly self-inflicted (it's really complicated so I don't go into detail) so I blame myself as much as other people if not more.
Thank you for your reply though, I wish you all the best and I hope things improve for you

I know how you feel. Genuinely, I do. I never used to have anyone to tell secrets too, but then I contacted an old friend and we became really close again. Maybe you could try that, but not tell them secrets until you wholeheartedly trust them, or maybe even not at all.
Hey everyone.
New here on TSR but glad I came across this thread ^_^ You guys all seem so caring and such.
Suffering with social anxiety and depression. Didn't even know I was so deeply depressed until I had a break-down in the middle of college a year and a half ago. So I'm currently trying fluoxetine after my doctor finally persuaded me to give it a go. Anybody else on fluoxetine also feeling really dizzy? Or does this only last a little while? :/
And I recently got fired (well... told I didn't stand a chance of getting a permanent job) because I didn't smile enough on the shop floor.
But I think I'm getting better on the depression side of things, but I still can't stand to leave my room. Even being around my family feels awkward. And I only went to work because I desperately needed money. I only have a couple of friends that I see sometimes, so the rest of my time is spent online. Anyone else like this?
I'm starting a degree with Open University and they've been wonderful so far. I don't start until February and they've already asked if I wanted tape-recorders, or a friend to come with me to monthly tutor sessions etc. Was a little overwhelming as I got zero support from college or work. But I think I'll enjoy it.
So I really want to stick around and chat here with you guys I hope to offload here again soon and I'm a great listener and very understanding when anybody else wants to get something off their chest.

Thankyou ^_^ I'm just really glad it's one less thing to worry about.
Not had a productive morning at all. Really need to shave as I look absolutely horrible 
but I'm tired and also can't stand the mess in the house. Plus I can't really use the bathroom as laminate flooring is being installed in the landing outside so the door needs to be open (normally use the mirror in the landing but that can't be used and when I use the bathroom I prefer to have the door closed) 
. At least the last of the messy work should be finished today, then we'll just have some doors left to paint.

FINALLY sorted out my extenuating circumstances stuff!
my dr hadnt signed the sick note, so had to go back to get it signed and she wasnt in and they were telling me she wasnt back till friday, but it needs to be handed IN on friday, so had to wait and hope another dr would sign it and luckily they did!
so got all that sent off
and me and mum finally got to the icecream place, and we had a really nice day.
started off having to take the wild/ferral cat we caught to the vets, then to the ice cream place where we had a really nice cumberland sausage burger and chips, then a 2 scoop sundae, but it was MASSIVE so we had all that, then we went shopping and i got a few bits and bobs, and we bought magic mike cos were home alone saturday night so having a girly film night with snacks.
then to my nanas house to drop her shopping off and a bru, then had to pop back to the drs!
so been out ALL day, but its been good

I was really really dizzy and queasy for three or four weeks after I started taking fluoxetine but after that it wore off. Hopefully you won't have to put up with it for too long!

Saying goodbye even if it's only for 2/3 weeks is one of hardest things in the world.
I know it's hard, but try not to blow it out of proportion. I know you're (hopefully
) not entirely serious but sometimes focusing on how hard something is makes you less likely to appreciate the fact that stuff is ok. saying goodbye is a really healthy part of a relationship, and having time apart is one of the best ways to ensure that your attachment stays healthy.

I'm on risperidone and have been for about 3 weeks now. This morning I fainted in the shower I was so dizzy but I just increased the dose so I think that is why. The dizziness should wear off over time. Good luck!
Thanks for getting in touch. Sorry to hear u took a turn in the shower! Iv felt close to fainting especially after I get out of bed. My doc only put me on 500micrograms cus he said he didn't want to knock me out, lol thanks! Definitely not looking for an increase any time soon. I have a review in 3 weeks so ill tell him of my side effects.
**** this is hard. **** **** ****ity ****. I'm so confused. I really dont understand what to do. I thought I knew and i had it all properly planned and aside from a few little things to be ironed out it was all perfect and right. But now stuff has changed and i dont know any more. I think it is still right and it is still what i want mostly but then im questioning and maybe the fact im questioning means its not right now. But it is. And I really cant think about what would happen if i didnt do this. and i want to make sure i do the right thing in the right way and if i didnt do it now it would happen wrong. i dont know how i can figure out what is right. i cant talk to anyone because everyone is automatically no that is wrong do this before they've even heard about any of the considerations, and besides most people have no clue what it is like so they cant really judge i dont think. basically im falling apart right now.
Now iv sent in my extenuating circumstance stuff i have all the what iffs going on
Spent most of last night crying to the point where i had to turn my back to my boyfriend on skype :/
Just want to cry all the time at the moment :/

Not really much to say, but
. Always here if you want someone to talk to.This evening it has really hit me that I'm not going to uni . I was really hoping I'd get in so I could begin a new chapter in my life, but this wasn't the case. Now I have no future, and the next few months look very difficult. I really don't feel like studying right now, in fact if I did go to uni then socialising would have been my priority for the first few months. I really have no idea what to do now, Facebook had stopped being triggering but for the last week it is back, because of seeing people excited for uni. I just want this mess to end
