decided I am just gonna flat out ask my GP for a change of meds or to stop them altogether, they aren't helping my mood anymore at all and looking up the side effects online I am now just convinced they are actually just making me other things worse (my vision/balance/vertigo/headaches, all can be ****ing side effects of it so wtf)
I guess all meds will be similar or something but seriously this is just useless, been on max dose of Venlafaxine for nearly two years now and I am pretty sure my mood improving for a while had nothing to do with it now, so just need to stop with them.
found my diazepam as well so gonna take one of them later, my girlfriends brother is visiting and am basically ****ting myself that he won't like me or something :/
also my GP said I could take them everyday and I basically only take them when I am really anxious about something, maybe if I just ask him if I can take them more often and just stop the Venlafaxine? I don't think meds are gonna solve my depression if they all do the same thing as the ones I've had and that anyway.
need to call LIFT as well for my therapy with them, hoping to get that and also my social worker is gonna see about me getting therapy through them which would be someone who would do home visits (which helps cause with my anxiety going out all the way to the hospital they work at would be a nightmare as is like 3 buses!) and they work with people with aspbergers so hopefully would like understand that as well, kinda hoping the two combined might help me anyway.
don't really know why I chose to write this at 6am but hey-ho :/

Haha, I think part of it is just what you are used to. My parents have sugar and milk in their tea so I always have.

Whats up?
I'm so annoying, I have to go out for 3 which is in 5 and a half hours and i'm still stressing that i'm going to be late. I don't even need to think of getting ready or anything for at least another couple of hours and i'm just stressing.
I hate my mind sometimes.

That's true. Mine do as well, though. I used to when I was a kid and then I suddenly disliked it one day.

How are you feeling?Even worse, got a *******ing from my parents for coming home alone even though I was stone cold sober and rang for a taxi so I knew it was legit

When you wake up feeling crappy, try and do something small that is useful or enjoyable. Also write down 5 things that you are grateful for. Over time it helps to make you think more positively.

Aww.
There is a MOOC that I would recommend you guys. It has been helping me to think more positively and understand my emotions better:

just trying to offer some supportive words and stuff is all I know it helps me to have people reassure me and stuff!
I know it helps me to have people reassure me and stuff! thanks 
thank God, my meds for my social anxiety are working cos I had no idea what I'd do come uni, all those classes full of people, my commitment to societies, the library, I don't know how I'd cope!
But I alo have my psychosis at hand. Still can hear voices, don't know how it'll effect me at uni yet.
does anyone else suffer from psychosis?

Exactly! You have beaten the feelings and gotten up. Hey how is everyone? I'm currently on a section 3 in hospital so it's going well :P Best advice I've been given so far is before doing anything to yourself draw up a pros and cons list and be honest with yourself when you write it, I've been finding it kinda helpful so far
I am thinking of admitting myself in if I get really bad again
