Thought I’d start a thread thats pretty damn close to my heart, all about mental health and well being (as those annoying psychologists say). I mainly wanted to start this thread because I myself was in the mental health system for about 3 years, and still suffer from horrific lapses that cause me to do very silly things, so, in basis I want this thread as a way of people, known and anonymous to vent there frustrations in a manner fitting this forum.
The more people are willing to open up the better, becuase in my experience the mental health service in the uk is not doing a very good job, so I would like to see this community come together and help those in need.
I don’t really have a proper mental illness just a bit of depresiion and anxiety but I knew and lived with someone who did have serious mdental issues for many years. We’d bpth been on jhospital a few times, them for gar longer nad much more feequently thn muself sadly and as much as I know it made my life very difficult at times, when you understoof what the other [erson actually lived with and then see how badly the NHS ;ppl after them it makes life very difficult at times for the patient and anyone around them.
Well done Gylfi, nice idea for a thread.
I suffer tremendously from mental health issues I have no problem opening up about it because I’m at whits end on how to continue at this point I have had a traumatic brain injury at the age of ten anxiety and depression are daily issues I hate to say I am completely dependant on drugs to survive daily doses of meds coupled with high grade cannabis products normally keeps me from snapping.of course that’s not the most legal way to be but I’ve done time over all of it arrested with morphine and methadone back when they had wafers still.I went through treatments I spent 5 years in the graces of American legal system I had no problem sharing experiences then with caseworkers and all I want anyone who may can benefit from the losses and gains that my life intermingled with heavy drug abuse of all different types and crippling mental health that rushed me into seeking a normal quality of life through the use of chemicals at early age.at this point I feel that my situation is under control but very borderline I have no permanent home I can leave in a heartbeat by bicycle packed with gear and go anywhere and I do love the miracles of some medicine I am careful to remember if it don’t come from earth it may not be sustainable and I know what detox means and exactly how it feels I know it happens if you can’t take the low then you shouldn’t be living high.I like this site because most people here in southeast United states there aren’t many people like me and I tend to get used by people around me because I try and help people that aren’t helping themselves.I feel this site is a link back into the real world instead of the archaic beliefs practiced around me we are all part of a bigger picture it’s our world we gotta take it back though.wherever I sleep that night is home all I have has been acquired from friends all over the country but truthfully when you’re life is almost dedicated to getting medicine to survive it gets lonely.anyways this is an honest answer and more than I would say to someone sitting next to me so take it for what it’s worth much love to the true family out there
I’ve got mental health problems too, i think and im sick in the head. Not in a good way. I have never admitted it to anyone but i think im too good at ‘playing’ the victim
a half part of me is greater than ever, and the other half is asking : are all people around me paranoid and still not assuming their choice of life, making me think that all countries around switzerland are still returning in the middle 80’s.
Since some states from USA has understood their faults in managing addiction problems and are in the right way, are EUROPA countries begining to walk again in the opposite way or what ??? If so, is my liberal chatting about consumation putting people in danger on your PV Site?
The song “der Kommissar” reflect the middle 80’s, Mr General Ligthing, not the 21century.
i think that am gonna post a thread to find the answer on it
irritated. work’s sucks. i want to go home.
Feeling like shit personally, all last night I was stupidly thinking of bombing all my xanax and saying fuck the world. Still thinking it in honesty, but not with as much conviction. Gonna make some phone calls today to see about getting a new flat out of this place, can’t handle this anymore.
Goodd luck bud.
Things are a little warped it appears ….. my run has been clicking over for something like 96+ hours now, my shadow army are active and packing with full force, auditory hallucinations are annoying me actually …. Fucking mozzies on the ceiling! Don’t they have something better to do …. Even a fucking one celled omeba knows when they have over extended their welcome
aahhh! But I do have a packet of endone … Ever seen a tweaker on the nod? A very indecisive pantomime would be a good description
Anyway, the east wind has brought wounded … Gotta go
I suffer from a disconnection from typical life, I find working a normal job such an alien thing, as if a straight job is the idea of a straight jacket. I constantly crave chemical solutions to spiritual problems and will constantly ruin good things in my life by doing this. A month ago my life was perfect, now I’m confused, lost and unsure of the future, the idea of death seems like a pure essence of bliss. I wish I could start again, a million miles away.
doing ok today, looking forward to daylight savings time coming up, went to a concert saturday and us addicts or whatever did the serenity prayer at set break.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
except I live in a nondual reality where I can change everything but must wisely pick what to change… never been to rehab never been to a 12 stepper so I’m by book not an addict, have seen the inside of enough wards to know the two run hand in hand
I don’t judge addiction by going to rehab/therepy etc. Addiction is a fucked up thing.
By book not an addict? How is doing the 12 steps and going to rehab by the book an addict?
Absolutely marvelous. Spiffing in fat :horay::horay::horay::horay::horay::horay::horay:
