Arrrgh I need to vent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so frustrated

I can't find a place I like to live in. I do wonder if being with my OH is good for me but worry about money if we split. I don't want to be near my mother either, and don't know anyone elsewhere. I have been hurt by so called friends so find it hard to trust. I am scared to work because I have been bullied at work before.

I felt so bored today, unmotivated to do anything. I had a drink today which helped but made me so sensitive. If I was alone how would I feel? Am I trying to please others?

How to do I stop feeling so scared?

Hi everyone :hello: Hope you don't mind me popping in

I'm starting new tablets tomorrow (Citalopram) after being on prozac for 13 years :eek: It's a bit scary, but I'm feeling hopeful that new meds in my system may be what I need to give me the lift I need right now. Not looking forward to the possibility of new side effects but really feel it's got to be worth a try at least.

I'm hoping to be able to frequent this place more often (have only been here once!). You all seem really friendly and supportive to each other and I may even be able to help sometimes too

speak soon xxx

Hi guys!:hello:
How're my little french fancies doing this morning?

Whoa!:eek: When did we go technicolour ,, and get super-sized?!!!:D Stop - I'm already in widescreen!!!:p

And a very sincere Tiffy to cat 64, littlemissmoney (missy), week, oompah loompah (oompah), truthseeker, angellotz (lotz), skollieal (skoll), beachbeth (beth) and chocomum (choco). Thank you for posting and joining in guys - I'm sure you've been made to feel at home by the lovely, lovely people here.


The Tiffster sacrificed the weekend off to risk fangs and claws in order to source and secure new supplies of smarties for our precious, ever-growing clan......ok - I had to clean my room! (Oooooooh tuuuuuuuliiiiiiiiiiiiip - come and see Tiffy! Tiffs are like elephants so don't think that going to Scotland is going to save you!)

I've been rushed off my little paw pads I tell you! I'm sure Caturday happened somewhere..., but just not at Tiff Towers. So...




Well guys, I did it - I made it to Stratford-Upon-Avon last Purrday evening to see DS in show, called 'Gothique', (not the musical 'Gothic'),which is part of their exam too. Don't ask me how, but most of me got there somehow. Thank you all for your messages of support - they mean a lot to me.
I went with DS's old school mentor/student counsellor who I'd become friendly with and the deputy headmistress also came. It's funny because I kept wanting to say 'Yes Miss!' - felt strange calling her by her first name. This was the first time I've been anywhere without my CPN or support worker - I was with normal people!

The funny part was that they staged the gothic/horror theme even out into the foyer; there were zombies walking around and they'd just randomly stop and stare at you closely or touch you or stroke you. The only way I got through that was by saying to myself, 'That one's sazzy - oooh, there's ethel! - which one's gilly? - is bmf here?'! Having said that, I wished the show was on this Valentine's Day - it was the first time I've been groped in many a moon!

When we went into the theatre, (small one), a few zombies were sitting in seats, spread out around the room. Then they'd get up and walk around and if they heard you speaking they'd turn round suddenly, as if they'd tuned in to you - as zombies are wont to do when looking for victims. In the break, they came out and were climbing over the railings and over the seat-backs!One positive though was that at least there were 8 or 9 people there who looked worse than I did!
And they did stage my published poem about Jack The Ripper. It was strange watching it performed and it felt over in seconds. They did a good job, bless them.:T

I was so proud of DS. They were all really good. DS is really coming into his own it seems and some of the college tutors told him it was his best performances yet. So he was a happy bunny. The deputy head has asked him to go back to his old school and put on a performance for their end of year show, as it'd be good for the younger students to see an old student return sucessfully and there would also be 2 Years of students who would still remember him from when he left there 2 years ago. He's worked really hard and deserves it bless him - he's finally getting his confidence in his own abilities.

Hark at me rattling away! Needless to say, there was a stress reaction to all this but, God help me, I did it. Maybe there'll be Part VIII of The Tiff Chronicles one day soon.
I've got a lot of reading back to do guys, so please bear with me. I'm still poorly in various parts and it's a bit like wading through treacle at times. I know there's a lot of us struggling atm and I'm thinking of you all.
A step at a time, peeps.
Wherever today takes you guys - safe journeys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hey guys!:wave:
Just to provide you with further evidence that I haven't got a life...

The Blonde and the Blinker.
Two blondes were driving down the road.
The blonde driving looks at her friend in the passenger seat and asks her to see if her blinker is working. So the blonde looks out the window and says, ''Yes. No. Yes. No.''


Dragging Their Feet
Two men are approaching each other on a sidewalk. Both are dragging their right foot as they walk.

As they meet, one man looks at the other knowingly, points to his foot and says, Vietnam, 1969."

The other points his thumb behind him and says, "Dog crap, 20 feet back."

..... ahem .....medication time, methinks!
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Morning All,
Tulip, sorry I didnt get to say good bye to you hun, i hope you have a lovely time.

Welcome karen23, you have come to the best place hun.Be prepared for the side affects you may have from coming of prozac and onto your new AD. I have tried that but it didnt work for me, but i know of ppl who have felt better so hopefully it will work for you.

Its still foggy here, ive put the washing on and need to hang it as my load is finished. I need to go out and do a bit of food shop but I havve no energy to.

I was ok when I woke up, tired as usual but mood wise was on a high then I watched Jeremy Kyle. I have always enjoyed watching his programme-I know I need to get my ex on there and all the ppl that have !!!! on me but its not going to happen as they would never go on the show.Anyway, if anyone watched todays episode would of seen the mother and daughter reunited after she walked out on her kids when they were little.I cried like a baby when they were reunited after 17 years.Its soo nice to see ppl come back together.My eyes are now all red and stinging.I know i shouldnt watch the show sometimes as it makes me more depressed.

Hmmm, i have my interview tomorrow for the course im due to start on the 28th of this month for classroom assistant i dont think im going to go, everyone will be so dissapointed with me and my brother will be mad at me if i dont go but just feel i wont be selected and my brain wont take everything in, i cant concentrate when it comes to listening to someone that talks.

Did anyone see Amy Winehouse when she won her grammy awards.Awww bless her, she deserved to win, she has had to much thrown at her and i hope she carries on getting help to fully recover.

What do you think of Mucca vs Macca?? its the battle of the year apparently.Its sad that ppl get so nasty with each other especially when they have a child together. I think both are guilty, she has obvioulsy lied and done things, he is suppose to be abusive and violent.

I really fancy a a fag, wish i woud have one..Better go hang the washing on the heaters , will be back in a mo guys, sending you all lots of hugs and love

Hello, i have just found this board and think that it is a wonderful idea to have this kind of support.
I have been on many different a/d's over the years, currently on Mirtazapine which i began about two months ago, finding life very hard at the moment, have gone into a deep depression after a relationship break up 6 months ago. Not so much due to the break up but the fact that i was pregnant at the time but lost the baby a couple of months after. Ex was and is unaware of all this, his departure was sudden after a family holiday, i must admit throughout this holiday i was an 'emotional wreck' but that would have been due to hormones and not any depression. I tried to mail him several times to strike up a conversation and let him know but he would not answer me and i also found out that his new g/f was claiming she was pregnant, which turned out to be a false alarm. I thought it was best to keep quiet and i didn't want him back 'for the sake of the baby'. I think i am going through a grieving process, which would make sense, for both of them.

Im sorry to go on about my stuff, i will pull through, i always do. I just have only been able to tell one person about what happened and i suppose like others this is a form of therapy in itself!

Has anyone else taken Mirtazapine out there? How have you found it?
