    What is happening to MSE. This is the first time I have not wanted to post on this board for fear of what response I might get. Another thread i read regularly on here is having the same things. I thought we were here to help and support each other. I am obviously wrong. Feel really upset. Might not be around for a while. Maybe things will improve.

    Where have you been posting? - I would hope this thread would be OK.

    Wow - Tiff THANK YOU for that incredible post. You guys are wonderful :o This certainly has oponed me up to what I'm dealing with and that maybe accepting help would be good. I had no idea there was so much help available either! As Tiff said, I was just scared that I'd be locked up in a mental hospital for however many days and given injections and what not. This new GP just doesn't seem "nice". I hate rude people and I can never deal with them - I just hate being around people like that. Like on my 1st driving test, I had this old man who would only open his mouth to say right or left 2 secs before the end of the rd...made me feel so erm...uncomfortable. But the next time I had a lovely lady who kept talking to me about off topic things like the awful weather and I felt really relaxed - passed with 3 minors!

    Anyway, I think I'm going to go about this on my own because I do want to sort it out and I have exams in just uner 2 months! I already have 2 A grades so even with all this pressure I managed to pull through. Now, as Tiff said, I want my "normal" life back....not be seen as a moron before going off to uni and be 110% sociable and not worry about anything.

    In your experience, how long can these things take to cure/treat? If any of you have gone through medication specifically targetted at depression or my sort of condition (pressure maybe?) could you please tell me whether you feel there has been definitive progress? Has the medication been effective in decreasing or ecen wiping out your depression?

    Lastly, I know many of you have gone through what I'm about to go through....so could anyone please tell me what kind of schedule I can expect for the next few weeks or so? I'm going to change GP today or tomorrow and tell them eveyrthing...gonna seek help....what is likely to happen next?

    Many Thanks everyone :beer:

    Ethel and CC, thanks for your PM's. I think maybe I am overreacting a little bit. Will take your advice on board and think I will stay. This site and this thread in particular have done me so much good, I would hate to leave anyway.

    Thanks RBK, it's nice to know that some people like / want me around.

    Think maybe my depression / paranoia is kicking in a bit today!! Have to go and see my doctor again soon, might ask to go back on my tranquiliser, as the anti-depressant alone doesn't seem to stop all my bad thoughts. Trouble is don't want to go back on it as it has nasty side effects. Well, will talk to him about it and see what he says.

    Anyway, thanks for your messages guys. Hugs to you all.
