Hello everyone, it seems ages ago since i posted on here. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

I have been in hospital since October. I was supposed to go to the crisis recovery unit for six months but it is now unlikely to happen. I'm very disappointed about that. I really thought it would be a chance for me to get better. I know what will happen I will be discharged home soon and I'll be back within a few days after overdosing. The cycle will continue...

Hi RBK noticed your light was on.Happpy new year.How are things?and why won't you be going to the crisis recovery unit?really hope you get the help you need soon.

I too have been on a number of meds, its frustrating when one stops working (or on my case sent my mood sky high). I need to talk to my GP/CPN/Psych etc about the possibility of adding an anti-depressent to the mix as i'm currently just on a mood stabiliser.

Never be afraid to tell them that a med isn't working or the side effects are bad

Indeed. As someone who (for a different condition) spent 3 months trying out 4 different types of medication, I second this. They won't mind.

And here I go again - I feel fine mentally; (physically, I feel awful - I have problems with my windpipe) but am having others tell me otherwise.

This happened at the end of last year too. I do wish tohers would leave me alone.

Hi guys

Its been a while since I have posted. Shameful really

Well, since the last time I posted I have not only halved my dose of tablets but have also started the process of coming off altogether! I take one every second day now with no ill effect so far **touch wood** so I am feeling positive. Much more like my own self.

Hope you are all well xx

Hey - Yeah im not afraid to tell them its not working - my only concern is i was on one medication that made me put on 2 stone in about a month. I couldnt stop eating, dont want that again - They hate me cos i refuse to take anything that says i will put on weight, sad i know.

Im meant to be going on a mood stabilizer as well. I do hate taking tablets, i feel like im rattling !
