Just feeling crap an ill because of it. I struggle anyway with things around my neck as it makes me feel sick but with a sore throat it makes me feel like im being strangled in a way no idea if thats normal haha
Feck sake, you're still on PRSOM That card looks EPIC. And so true too
Sorry you can't sleep. I get the feeling of being strangled too. I think maybe it's coz the oesophogus tightens up a bit when you have a sore throat, making it more difficult to breathe? Though I may just be making **** up

Yeah, it's not a nice feeling anyway, without having emetophobia added to the mix
I'm fine, dw, just had an overstimulating day. My mum's noticed that if I do two or more active/exciting things in a day, I can't sleep. Have taken some Phenergan so hopefully it will kick in soon

The extra pillow is helping but the snoring rory not so much :unimpressed.
Ahh no! Exciting things are good but not when they stop you sleeping! Im contemplating zopi at this rate! My brains deciding on what to wear for my interview and what colour to have my nails

I'm trying to decide whether to give antidepressants a go.
Could you guys give me an insight how it has changed/improved your life, particularly your depression? Even if its few words, it would help.
Thank you
When you find the right med for you (and it takes a while to know) symptoms can be so much better. When I started my current meds it took a while for things to settle down, but I had more energy, was more positive, actually wanted to do things... I could focus on my work, so my grades improved hugely; I was having fun with my friends again; I wasn't locking myself away in my room.
To contrast - the 18 months before when I was unmedicated and at uni - I was missing most classes as I couldn't get out of bed; missed most deadlines because I couldn't focus and had no motivation; was afraid to leave my room in case I had to speak to my flatmates; had panic attacks about going back to uni when I went home for a weekend to the point where we couldn't get more than 10 mins down the road before we had to turn the car round; suicidal thoughts etc. I had to withdraw from uni for 18 months as it was so bad. Whilst I was at home I was becoming afraid to leave the house, afraid to see friends.
Now that difference isn't all meds - by the time I found the right one I'd also had two years of psychotherapy (took a while to find right meds) but the difference when I was settled on them was significant. I still have down periods - I've not been in a brilliant one recently; I'm struggling to get out of bed and do anything; I'm not getting my work done; sometimes I find myself shutting myself away in my room avoiding people, including my friends. I still get panic attacks. But the difference is my low points are not as bad - I function better, so I can ride out the low points more easily, and I honestly haven't had suicidal thoughts in years. For me it's a cumulative thing - meds are a part of my support network, they weren't a fix in and of themselves, but they have been very helpful
but awesome stuff, and congrats on the awards you won!
Thank you!
I'm most chuffed about the MHSS award (closely followed by my smilies award ), tbh, because it's a testament to the fact that so-called "crazy" people have value and can have a positive input in the world, virtual or real
Thank you! I hope so too so I can relax and just get excited about going
Yeah, I'm also planning on going into London soon. So dreading it as i feel like ill gwt lost easily... but can't really get too excited due to living in 'London' haha
