Have you thought about moving his school, I know he hasnt got long left there but he could be in a new new school with a new start from easter & you may find that a different school will deal with things differently. I sincerely hope you find the solution, its agonising seeing your own children being failed and so frustrating. Hope things come good with the house, I'm sure that by having your own space will help enormously, how you've kept going through everything is incredible.
Most of the local schools can't take any more kids or wont take them in their final year, DS wont move either because he has made a good friend who puts up with him when everyone else tells him where to go. He's afraid that if he moves he wont make any friends. Even talking about it gets him upset.SPC #329 £471/£500 banked

At the risk of asking a daft question, can anyone tell me why there are non food items at T's on the shelves but with "not available until......" SEL's?
I've seen them loads of times at the T's Extra where there is no in store scanner....otherwise I'd check 'em out!
I thought it's either a new line, price reduction or the price is going upMy husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.0 -

I forgot how much I hate the wait (was 20 mins early and 20 mins delay). I've been asked to take therapy next week and anti-depressants for a couple weeks to see how I go.
I had counseling last year, which I didn't like tbh, maybe it was just the counselor I had. He just made me more upset and down with myself. Which I assumed wasn't the idea!
I don't know what to think at the moment tbhI've never taken anti-depressants before and wonder how they will work. (yeah I know they're meant to help) but how will they effect me etc. if that makes any sense.
On the tesco side of things, had to have a trip:o I decided to input 4 reuseable bags on SS, even though I had one. As on the manned till yesterday they didn't add my bags:mad:
Anyway it asked for SA:eek: and she was livid at me:( I didn't bother explaining about the number of times the manned till operators never add my bags on. Even though I say I have my own bags!
Rant over with.
You need to sit and have a long hard think about the anti depressants. A young person like you shouldn't need to be on them. Some of them are so bad they have terrible side effects (including suicide) if you don't get put on the correct ones. And, once you're on them, you're on them for good. If you try to come off them the come down is so bad you could end up in a state worse than when you started on them. Some AD's are so bad (and I'm speaking from experience here) that if you come off them abruptly you could end up trying to top yourself. I know we need an MSE meet up, but please don't let it be at a funeral;)
Think carefully mate, ask the doc what they are putting you on and go home and do your research on them, then when you've researched them, research every other name they are known by all over the world and see what people are saying about them.:beer:0 -

WE WAS BRUNG UP PROPER !!
"And we never had a whole Mars bar until 1993"!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1930's, 1940's, 50's, and 60's
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank Sherry while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos...
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, bread and dripping, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.
Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds , KFC, Subway or Nandos.
Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on a Sunday, somehow we didn't starve to death!
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy Toffees, Gobstoppers and Bubble Gum.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter,milk from the cow,and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O..K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY ,
no video/dvd films, or colour TV
no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
Lawsuits from these accidents.
Only girls had pierced ears!
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time....
We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays,
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet because we didn't need to keep up with the Jones's!
Not everyone made the rugby/football/cricket/netball team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on
MERIT
Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and throw the blackboard rubber at us if they thought we weren't concentrating .
We can string sentences together and spell and have proper conversations because of a good, solid three R's education.
Our parents would tell us to ask a stranger to help us cross the road.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla'
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL !
And YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

An amazing post HC.:T
My mother suffered from mental health problems for years and I think her GP used her as guinea pig to test all the latest anti-depressant tablets going.
If in years gone by and I had been on the internet and read your post, I would certainly have done alot of research into all the tablets she was being prescribed.
Sadly, in later life, she was diagnosed as having progressive supranuclear palsy,(PSP),the same condition that Dudley Moore had, which explained alot of her earlier mental health issues:(:(N1LDA:D0
