I seem to have caught a bad case of insomnia and can barely keep my eyes open. Meanwhile, our insomniac friends seem to be all snuggled up. Typical Tiff!

Anyhoo, I've got to do a smartie cupboard inventory and I may be gone quite a while.:whistle: So have a lovely Caturday morning while I'm hard at work counting, okay guys?
Safe journeys guys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Aw thanks for the replies, I have to be honest they brought tears to my eyes - crying seems to be my thing lately. I have caught insomnia too, it's a nightmare, I'm used to sleeping like a log, now I just toss and turn for hours, things going round and round in my brain, and wishing I was dead. I have been worried sick about seeing a pyschiatrist, I'm glad they try to keep you out of hospital, I had visions of going for the appointment and then not leaving for months.........................................:eek:

dawnylou Please don't be so hard on yourself. You're unwell and that can't be helped. Do you not get paid if you are sick? Have you ever been referred for CBT or had psychotherapy? I'm glad your OH is being supportive What medication are you taking atm? You're right drugs won't fix you but they can allow you to cope on a day to day basis. Do you feel any better since you started taking medication or do you feel the same? (((HUGS))) Take care of yourself xxx

top_drawer How are you feeling?

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having regarding your dissertation. They don't seem to be supporting you at all Is there anyone else whom you can speak with about your options?

It's a shame about them cancelling your counselling as I'm sure you could have done with talking to someone this week. It's annoying when we find someone that we like and then for whatever reason you can no longer see them. Will you see someone else instead?

meyore Are you OK hun? Sending you (((HUGS)))

Hello septemberblues welcome to the DT. Everyone is very nice and caring here. Has the psychotherapy been helpful? I'm currently being referred for it so it would be good to know what others think of it.

I have been seeing a psychiatrist since last Feb. Please don't be scared. They aren't that bad. From my experience of psychiatrists they aren't very sympathetic but are very knowledgable about mental illness and can prescribe psychiatric medication. Don't worry about being referred. I'm sure they just want to provide you with the best help possible. I would imagine that in your first appointment the psychiatrist will just ask you various questions relating to your background, any illnesses, problems that you've had, what has caused your depression e.t.c

They will only section you if they believe you are a serious risk to yourself and/or others and as someone else said it can be quite difficult to get someone sectioned. They don't like to section people and if they believe going into hospital would be beneficial then they may ask you to come into hospital as a voluntary patient. I have been hospitalised twice and it's OK. It's good to always have people around.

How are you feeling today?

:wave: to everyone else that is about. LM I see your green light on
