For those that questioned why I didn’t attend the game last Saturday, this was why. My daughter asked me to go to the Pride parade with her, have a few drinks, a meal, and generally have a catch up on her life and her website project. She doesn’t live with me so I don’t see her that often so face to face time is very valuable

I’ve highlighted one particular part of her social media post from today. That is a nod to WWays. She was stunned by the response from here. I thank all of you that contributed feedback once again for your support.......

 

 

As some of you may remember, a year ago I set up a website that allows people to submit and share their personal stories regarding mental health, encouraging people to use their voice and realise that they're not going through this alone.

The response I received was absolutely insane. That insane in fact, that I shut it down after a few months as I couldn't cope with managing the website alongside my own mental health.

But now I'm back 💥 I'm in a better place with my mental health, I'm currently in the process of purchasing my first home, and next week I start my dream job as a Teaching Assistant in a special educational needs school.

So I've decided to relaunch my project. A website where you can anonymously submit your mental health story, in the form of poetry, short stories, song lyrics, or simply anything that expresses you.

No way these citalopram are working anymore.  Anyone left these for something else?

Case of weaning down then introducing something else or nothing at all? 

Make an appointment with your doctor pal

Remember they might be- you might feel shitier without!

Time of the year too- after autumn and winter. You'll pick up soon.

Just get down to the doctor's ASAP though.

 

Cheers men.

The whole thing just pissed me off. Really can't be arsed with the rigmarole of going to the docs then starting the whole bollocks process off with new meds.

Im comfortable on Citalopram. Each time Ive felt its stopped working they just increased the dosage. Can't go any higher now though, get QT in your heart apparently if you go any higher.

Even thought about going back down, taking the hit, then going back up again.

What a pile of bollocks

There’s a common thread running through the responses here. If reducing your meds then returning to current doses is an option, your GP is the person to make the call.

GPs? They know shit. Just come on here, get all the answers and more. If you ask the right question someone will pop over to your house and give you a reach around. Better than any meds. Just have to remember to keep your eyes closed and keep muttering “I love your slutty character in Brassic Michelle”.

Failing that. Ask your doctor.

My first response was to the three who said to go see the GP reminding them that many on Wanderersways are infinitely more qualified than a GP.

^ As I've said before, it's really not worth sharing personal stuff about your mental health on here, as you get comments like this, and it will no doubt be brought up again in future over something totally unrelated. Shame really. You'd think after what happened to Gary Speed our fans would be far more "aware" of the issue, but alas.

Don’t think it’s snidey comment myself… but it does flag up that certain posters got issues which I can see coming through on other threads, hence my remark about being kind.

I’ve plenty of experience of severe mental health issues my old fella was very poorly for many years and got a close mate who nearly killed himself.

What a load of bollocks.

Using someone’s mental health against them because they disagree with you on a politics thread is some next level shithousery. 
 

Mental health struggles are normal, not being okay is normal, it happens to the best in the world. Sadly, it’s opinions like yours that mean some people are still reluctant to speak when it matters.

What does it explain?
Why would you have to be nice to what you term 'manics'?

PS I'm not sure manics is an acceptable way of describing people who admitted to having mental health issues, but I am, of course, a left wing tree hugging bed wetting smelly unwashed wetwipe snowflake, according to some.

Theres folk on here I know in real life who are absolutely sound of mind in real life, not a problem in the world and all round sound as fuck people yet if you judged them on the way they post in here you'd have them in a straight jacket and off to Bedlam by midday.
