Afternoon All,

Well what do you want to know?

The facts -

Have been suffering (and boy is that the right word ) with varying mental health problems since i was about 13.....now 32!

Have got frustrated and dissenchanted with the NHS Mental Health Department more times than i can count.

Am resigned to the fact that i am a f***wit (in Bridget Jones style) and no matter how many times I am a good and loving person there is always someone out there prepared to kick you back down.

The final curtain is never far from my mind and i get tired fighting every day to fit into societies numerous petty expectations of the fellow human.

The most apt thing a friend ever said to me was "Flic....you can run half way round the world..... but you can't get away from yourself"........I think that was the start of getting "better"

The Here and Now -

I think I am happy... hummm.... have a loving caring chap...who just doesn't quite "get it", My Wonderfull dog Moogue who is 15 now and travelled with me around Europe. Nice house etc etc The down side??? I have more drugs than the local chemist!

Taking Venaflaxine 300mg per day, plus sleeping tablets (zorpha somthing or other) then there are my painkillers and anitinflams for arthuritis and then the ones to combat the sideeffects of the others!!!!

Surely a hit on the head with a hammer would be more effective ?!?!?!?!?!

Why have a Registered?

To share and care...... it is difficult talking to the ones you love and love you as they seem to think that there is a BIG FIX or that it is something they are doing wrong..... so whilst most days are goodishy yet flat... on that bad days, you just need someone to listen and UNDERSTAND.

Love and Hugs to you All

Cheers Carol,

More want to be there for others - am hoping to come off my Venaflaxine - but petrified by the side effects.... miss just one day and my head feels like is falling off and vision goes all wonky!

Have been diagnosed with many different things, paranoid scytzophrenia, psycotic disorder, bi-polar and manic depression, clinical depression, Permenant low mood, anxiety and stress..........

How many lables are there?!?!?!?!

Cheers Popsy,

It just helps with the "you are not alone"..... I have friends who are suffering with various mental health issues but it is very hard to counsel those you are close to..... a bit like the blind leading the blind...and you both get too emotionally involved in thier problems which exaserbates your own...

I think i might just turn into an onion ;-)


It makes you cry but has many layers ;-) ?!?!?!

Hi Flic, you ask how many labels there are here? As many as Victoria Beckham's wardrobe I reckon!
Like you I suffer mental health problems, but also want to help people as I am not as bad as I was and having done lots of things, being medically trained and having been round the block a bit, think I can help people.
