Just a rant, I have to get it out somewhere 'cause it's really frustrated me!
I had to fill in a self certification in work today for back last month, which is when I came off citalopram and it had a bad effect on me which sunk me into depression and a sense of 'who gives a flying f**k!'
Anyway, I told 2 of my managers quite happily what happened, I'm not ashamed, but reading what they wrote really really annoyed me.
They put that I'd told them I had mild bipolar and that I'd just come off my medication and I felt down so went out for a drink to forget about things and cheer myself up.

I hardly see depression as 'feeling down' and having a drink to self medicate isn't a way to 'cheer myself up' it's an attempt to sort my uncontrollable life out.

I was going to say something but I couldn't be bothered opening a can of worms, luckily it's not tainted my ok mood too much but it doesn't help seeing as I'm forever walking on egg shells anyway.

Im glad this hasnt brought your mood down too much Lizzie .Its like banging your head on a brickwall most of the time trying to explain things to people .Ignorance of some people is unbelievable ..These types arent worth explaining yourself to . Its not worth the effort .. Take care luv Sue xx
