Oh no side effects kicking in, stay positive, remember they will pass and remember you are not alone. We are all here to talk to, to support you when you want and need it. The side effects can like I said make you feel a little worse for a little while but stick with the tablets it really will pass I promise.

The nausea is awful I really feel for you honey.:flowers:

awww this is the best thread ever .... nice one

I have contemplated it before but not so seriously... right now i'm a lot more depressed than usual, and I want to open up about it but not to anyone i know in real life, for fear of judgment and mockery. This is why i'm so desperate to have the internet back so I can discuss it with others i trust but don't know.

Yo Ange7 nice to see you back, one of the intelligent posters:thumbs:

lol hey hi!... I like the Flight of the conchords reference. .. here's my fav http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=cUm3b2...eature=related
Yeah great thread supernoodles
.... my bro inlaw is bi polar and early on I made lots of mistakes like being condescending, patronising.... saying stuff like "one in four suffer from depression atleast at one point in there lives" or even worse " lots of great people of history were bipolar....". God makes me cringe just recalling all the times I put my foot in it hehe ..anyway his got a great network around him that support without getting in his face. Glad to see this brought up here at tibb... nice one ...lol and just when I'd given up on tibb ( till bb bb9 atleast hehe). Some years back a high profile politician here in Australia, Jeff Kennett, went public with his years of struggle with depression. That went a huge way in de-stigmatising it and the subsequent website he helped setup continues to help those who for what ever reason still feel unable to ask for help.. beyondblue.org.au

Shes so hot shes makin me sexist lol. Oh and Im always pointing out celebs with mental health problems lol

Just look at Winston Churchill, he was bi-polar yet managed to lead this country during difficult times. It kind of highlights the internal struggles that those of us who suffer from mental health problems have to just get through a day sometimes, yet the great capacity we have to continue living and not only living but greatly contributing to society.

yeh exactly It just shows that people with mental health problems are just people and some of them are great ones at that. A lot of people have wrong perceptions about mental health issues. which makes it harder for some to accept theyve got problems and get help, good god I know about that!

Living with an autistic spectrum disorder I am more susceptible to depression, but I have never dared take medications as I'm too frightened of them and the reported side effects and the dependency they engender.

Oh waaww! Sorry about that! Are there really bad side effects?

I did not want to find out

The main one was addiction to the medication from what I heard, so I jst have to live with it.

Great news Sticks that was for old school ADs. You could ask now to use an SSRI which are all non addictive.

I kind of got use to living in the negative world as I call it

I also noticed that the best comedy and creativity came from this part of the world.

My bro in law is barely human without his meds. There's nothing romantically creative about not being able to function.... none get use to that. When he would start up with paranoid conspiracy theories eg "they" are behind this or that or the goverenment have a secret agenda.... then I knew he was off his meds again. Thankfully that's in the past.

I'm feeling very **** today :sad:

I can almost feel myself reaching for either the valium or alcohol..... but neither are very sensible

Whats wrong kiz?

I dunno..... I get these days.... and I can put my finger on it.

But my body is starting to show the stress because my hair if falling out :bawling:

I've had to have it cut short because its getting thin and that makes me even more unhappy

Catch 22 there then :(

Sorry about your hair.. I pull my hair out when I get stressed.

Have you been to the doctors?
