Hi everyone, sorry not posted for a while but been too far "down" to manage it. Hope you are all coping with life as well as you can. Things been getting worse for me lately and now i find my teenage son who has come through many problems and i thought was ok is now worrying 24/7. He says he has always worried but for almost a year he feels it has taken over his life and he cant sleep for worrying. He has tried all the advice about living for today etc but said he cant do it. I am concerned as mental health problems run through my family and i wonder if it could be the start of something bigger? My older sister got schizophenia when she was in her late teens (my mum got ia version of it in her fifties). Since he was little i have always wondered if it would hit my son when he was in his late teens (hes 18). I suggested he saw the doctor about his worrying and she might suggest counselling. He does not really want totake tablets - would she suggest anti-deps do you think? I dont really want him to go down that road but worried the worrying may excalate into something bigger if not treated soon.

BIG HUGS FOR YOU (((HUGS)))

Hello everyone :hello: I hope you're all ok

I really need some advice if anyone's feeling helpful. I've been with my fiance for several years. Last week, he admitted that he had a credit card that I didn't know about, and that it's practically maxed out. He made it sound like it was a recent thing, and that he only used it for essential stuff. So I was a bit mad, but accepted that.

But yesterday, I was at his house and saw his statement on the floor. I probably shouldn't've read it, but I did. And found out that he's had it since November last year, and he's spent a lot of money on !!!!!! sites!

It's not really the fact that it's !!!!!! that bothers me, it's the fact that he's kept it secret for so long and has lied about it. We've had loads of conversations about money, and he's never once mentioned it. And I just don't know what to do

I know what I would do. I would tell him that I'd seen his statement (shouldn't have left it lying around) and ask him about it. No point in having secrets. The sooner you sit down and talk about it, the better.

I don't know about you, but it would eat away at me if I knew and didn't say something.

:hello: just a quick post from me. Thank you Mclaren for letting everyone on here know that was very thoughtful of you.

I was allowed out for a few hours today so decided to go back home and catch up on emails/posts e.t.c It's also my brothers birthday today so it was good to see him too.

I was admitted because they obviously didn't think I was safe to be out so to speak. At least in there I do feel kinda safe/protected.

So yeah I am back on the psychiatric ward On Fri. I was admitted to a hospital that was further away from my home town. I stayed there from Fri-Mon and was transferred to my local hospital yesterday (the one I was in back in Feb.) I much prefer the other hospital. This one isn't as good. The staff in the other hospital were a lot nicer, more supportive and the Doctor was good. In this hospital you basically just get left all day. I also made a few friends in the other hospital so it was a real shame to leave.

The advantage of the current hospital is that I am allowed to have my mobile phone with me :j

Huge (((HUGS))) to everyone. Thank you for all your support. You guys are amazing.

I'm sorry that I am unable to reply to all the posts. I hope that you are all looking after yourselves.

Hey; atleast you're back in the local hosp, where you can have your phone! I am pleased you're okay though, and i am pleased you feel safe!

Just keep yourself safe, and take care of yourself. We all care about you, and cant wait to have our rbk back x

I think alot of us are in that possision, where we have or still do SH. It isnt a nice area to be in, and when you're focused in the zone, you need to actually realise that you;re there, and get out of it. Its not easy, but very very possible

Its good that you're trying to stop yourself though

I'm worried about the self-harming thing... I have self harmed before (I was doing this last year) and I'm afraid I'll be locked up! I'm sometimes feeling I want to do this again, but am stopping myself.

I also don't want my parents to know that bit.

Not cutting, just scratching on places that weren't visable.
