I found AB's post very interesting. I have spent my life adding to my wall. I am such a different (worse) person than even only 2yrs ago. I'm not sure I can let anyone in any more. My ego throws up walls and feigns disinterest to the point that I don't want to go out and I don't want to do anything.
The only people I want to be with are my sister and her kids and my mom. I am myself with them but I just can't be like that with anyone else. I don't know where my future lies as this seems to be a spiral.

I am a bit tied up at the moment but can give you quite a bit more on this and ways to combat it.

Hi AB, Re: the NHS. I've experienced the UK system and the Spanish system (also free, apart from a % of some prescription costs) No where is perfect, but I have had many distressing experiences here, and much less so in Spain. The one that is forefront in my mind was treatment of terminally ill cancer patients. We didn't touch the treatment, information, care and service in Spain (in my experience)

I don't think there can be a perfect system anywhere, but I do feel there is plenty room for improvement.

Hi I agree with you. there is and always will be room for improvement but i think on the whole most people in the profession do care but are hampered by circumstance and the way various systems work.

I was just musing on it rather than seeking help.
I find taking help more depressing than the benefit it brings.
But that's me..........................stupid.

Morning all. Another hot, sweaty Barcelona day here.

Hi, New Steph. I love libraries too, spend a lot of time there! My two local branches close in August, the nearest branch open will be a 20 min walk away. Not a problem, but it's blummin hot in August!

Morning all.

Hope today is a better day for all

I'm alright I think. I'm asleep more than I'm awake these days. Medication is stopping me from acting on my impulses, but the thoughts are still there.

Don't understand why I have 'bad' thoughts when I'm actually not that depressed or anxious. Odd.

Heya everyone.

I managed to go into town today as I needed to take some library books back and I hate being overdue.

Still feeling very fragile at the moment. I found my old CPA review last night and to be honest, how my CPN discharged me is a mystery. Yeah, she was leaving her job but surely it would have been better to hand my case over to someone else than discharge me when my mental health was in such a fragile state?

Hi feeling good, ive been on medication for 8 mths now, and although im calmer the bad thoughts are always there, even when im having quite a good day. I think theyll always be part of me now. Have a good day xx

Hi LM, the mental health service is a joke. The first time the crisis team came to see me they told me to go for a brisk walk!!! You sound like a fighter xx
