Please help me

• My first post so will keep it short.
• i am suffering and ready to get off the tram like many of you have felt but I am loved and the terrible feeling of the effect keeps me fighting. I cannot yet mention why I suffer chronic anxiety and depression except it is a daily event. I do not take much in the way of prescribed medication.
• what I would like is to change my mindset as I am convinced talking even online will be far better than the uncaring 10 minutes you get with your GP.
• it would be fantastic not to think every day I am better off not here. No stree? No anxiety, no pain. But is that selfish when you have others that care.
• no one knows how I feel.

hey @Jagger, you're replying correctly! how's today been for you - did you get up to much? 😊

@Jagger  how are you now?? is everything okay?

Hi@rav3n

not good I am afraid.

i need to discuss with someone who has been through it personally.

prescribed for anxiety depression medication I dropped it after 2 weeks because of the terrible mindgames. But nothing is helping me so medication may be the answer. A past or current user of this medication may point me in the right direction as talks just don’t get personal enough time wise to get informative advice.

sorry for delay but lost my phone!!

Hi @Tilz,

my apologies for slack reply due to losing my phone.

i still don’t know if I am using the sight correctly but I replied to one other just now so will repeat as accurately as possible.

i have been prescribed Anxiety/depression medication which I tried several months ago and was horrified at mind games so stopped after 2 weeks.

nothing is helping so I am considering the medication.

i need to chat with someone who has been through it or is to gain a proper understanding as to how it effects you.

once I can have a chat/chats I may be on a position to hopefully make the right decision.

regards.
