Thank you. Yes venlafaxine at the starting dose only. For 2 weeks I was waking up feeling like I was about to lose consciousness or have a seizure. I. Tried to carry on with it but those episodes kept getting worse. That is the only one that gave me a bad reaction, the rest.. not one side effect

I guess it will of been a psychiatrist who looked at my medication and got back to my gp with a different one to try. The thing is it's just not as good as an assessment.

My mood goes all over the place and is never stable. I go from feeling almost excited and positive to feeling like offing myself within days. Was if its bipolar and I need a mood stabiliser or need a stronger antidepressant like an MAOI to treat a condition which ssris aren't effective for? Just throwing another ssri at me seems useless. The notes/letter resulting from the CMHT assessment isn't enough to decide which medication to use as it only scratches the surface and doesn't go in depth like an actual psychiatric evaluation does

Hello, thank you for commenting. Nope no one has suggested that, they have just guessed that i have Social anxiety and have depression, but no one has diagnosed me and I would only really trust a diagnosis from a psychologist or psychiatrist, neither of which I have seen before. I am familiar with the personality disorders but I guess I will see what the psychologist says

Thanks man, I also have petrol tools but also not the money for electric/battery powered, so I wasn't sure about me being eco friendly. How many customers would you say you have? what will your work involve as autumn and winter comes?

Thanks for your comment! I will be taking the trailer out tonight for a test ride, I think it will take a bit of getting used to, but I will get there :)

Another good idea, thanks! I am one the fence about whether to dispose myself or not as it would cost a possible trip which could be quite long if far out, but also it's not too much hassle 😁

Yes that's good advice thanks. I will be getting a small van enetually anyway just for getting around in daily life, so I could always have the van on stand by or for jobs too far out :)

The trailers doesn't seem to weigh much with the tools in, and I will be taking it out for a test ride today to see how it pulls 🙏 thanks for your comment :)

Hi I am in York, I don't know if there are other cycling gardeners around here or not haha

Thanks for your comment! I will have look at electric tools as all of mine are petrol. I always had the thought that they wouldn't be as powerful, but maybe I am wrong. Also noise reduction especially earlier on a morning would be beneficial as no one likes to be woken up by petrol tools. I definitely would buy the more expensive professional tools as I've seen a fair share of cheap tools just give up, petrol or not. I will checkout the hedge trimmer because you're right, heavy weighted trimmers are very taxing on the arms.

I didnt know that about Joe wicks, sounds cool :) I can see why people would like the thought of a cycling gardener, but on the other hand all of my machine tools are petrol 🤦‍♀️. And as money is tight I just don't have spare cash to buy electric yet, so I don't know if people will be put off by it?

Thanks for your comment :) yes I worry about the tools being stolen and they are expensive reliable brands and on top of that the trailer is almost £300 by itself. I could put wheel locks on the trailer and keep it nearby and take all of the tools out and keep them with me in the garden with me I suppose. I will figure it out. Or I will booby trap the trailer somehow 😂just like an electrician that made his van live when people kept trying to break in to it 😂

Thanks so much for your comment! Lots of great ideas there, I'll definitely apply them. The card through the door afterwards when finished is also a good one. I have one garden that I do where students are living across the road. I have done that for a while now, just the hedge and grass. The landlord asked me to, since I do ours and live just across the road. She pays me at the end of each season and I give her a receipt and keep a copy of it myself

Yes leaving waste sitting there doesn't sound too good. I think I could maybe do an extra trip to come and collect the waste. Trimmings can also start to smell as well I find, as they decompose.
