Mental Health Support Society Mk X

Today has been so mixed. I dropped out of my course today, I just couldn't afford it, and my health was just stopping me doing any work. I feel like a failure, like I gave up. I wanted to help people so much and I don't know where to go now. I need to get a job.

On the way home I drove past a bridge. I someone and it looked like they were crying, so I stopped to see if he was okay. Literally as soon as I got there the police came behind me and the person started to run towards the highest point. I just sprinted and managed to grab them and hold them until the police caught up and handcuffed them. The police took him away after that. I just got back in my car and cried, it was like all the adrenaline just went away. I'm just at home now. I feel a bit shaken. I just need to calm down. I dunno if I did the right thing. I keep thinking about it.

I can imagine them referring you then you having to wait months, let's hope that doesn't happen. Have you seen this GP before? I'm so sorry to hear how things are getting worse for you. Have you tried duloxetine? I keep seeing ads for that and it seems to make the people on tv happier Other than that, I'm not really sure what you can do you seem to be doing all the right things. How much exercise are you actually getting? You should see if you can get on a ketamine trial, I think you're exactly the kind of person they'd be looking for.

I don't think I can go tonight my latest excuse is the blister from my dr martens.




The waiting lists in Britain can be absolutely ridiculous. I waited 6 months to see someone when I started crashing again. I don't think you're being impatient, mental health problems can get a lot worse if left to fester so it seems reasonable that you want to see someone sooner rather than later.

Yeah I see a psychiatrist and psychologist. Doing CBT with the psychologist to try and address my social anxiety. You're right, it's great I can talk to people here, I don't know what I'd do otherwise.

My placement is going fine and it's like something is clicking. I'm fine talk to teachers and students and everyone Is being lovely. I'm struggling a little with nerves occasionally and the loud class I just observed was terrifying but it just made my notes and kept myself calm and survived.

I might actually be able to be a teacher!

Spoilered because it's a massive rant and I dont want people to have to look at it.

It sounds like you did a really great thing, you may have saved someone's life. Hopefully the police will take him somewhere he can get help. It's understandable that you feel a little shaken when the burst of adrenalin wore off, maybe take it easy for a while, make a cup of tea and maybe try talking things over with someone?

I'm sorry to hear you dropped out of your course but you health should come first so try not to beat yourself up over it. You have to do what's best for you. When you're feeling better you can see whether it's still what you want to do. There's no age limit on completing the course.

Saber has said it all. Have loads of hugs though:

Yeah I slept on it and woke up this morning feeling a lot better over the incident. I think it was just the adrenaline burst but feeling much calmer over that now.

Thanks. Hopefully I can go back to it one day, I really did like it so hopefully I will get there one day. Thank you

Saw the Dr today, they are swapping my Quetiapine for Risperidone - any experiences with Risperidone?

I could see and can still hear The Blitz happening on the street outside my window.

Recently I've been coping okay with my hallucinations (and able to tell the difference,)

but am currently curled up under my bed hiding with my pet dog... I don't know who is hugging harder.

Just needed somewhere to tell this and my family are out, took me disappointingly long to me to write this

I know, very unappropriate question: You mean World War II ? If yes, are you that old ? (Okay, the last was probably extremely inappropriate and I am again a terrible person, but so curious I write it down. .)

A hugging dog, so sweet ... Dogs are awesome, although they can be annoying, too.
