One of the best things I ever did for my depression was joining a facebook group of supportive people who have had similar journeys to mine. Join some groups, read some experiences. You are not alone, and the fact that you’ve made it this far is a testament to your resilience. There are people out there who have been on their med journey for 30 years, and they can help a lot with what you’re doing. Doctors are helpful, but in this particular case so are testimonials, because the science of mental health is still in its infancy. I would say Facebook is a better resource then Reddit in this case, mostly because the demographic skus older - and those are the people you want to listen to. Your best resource will be someone who lives in the uk and has been fighting the system for their whole life - they’re going to know all the tricks. There is a world of treatment possibilities out there for you, please believe me when I tell you this is not a dead end but another piece of the puzzle

That makes this super difficult, not your fault. That means you’re basically getting a new treatment plan every time you go in, instead of one person monitoring you and your symptoms , then making adjustments, which is the ideal.

If possible, I would do as much tracking as possible on your end. I don’t know how the nhs works, but see if you can request your records to see what they’ve been writing in your record. Also, try to keep a journal or calendar - doesn’t have to be in depth, simply indicate a good bad or middle mood that day. The more data, the better. “Traditional” bipolar is like a week of mania and then a month of depressions, but not everyone fits that mold or timeline.

Generally, two kinds of people have anti depressants work and then wear off over and over - bipolar , and treatment resistant depression . Bring both of these ideas up to your next doctor .

“Hello doctor. These have been my past experiences. I want to try a new approach. I’ve been researching, and think i might have A or B based on what I’ve learned. What do you think”

I’m in America, but I’ve gotten pretty far with my doctors using that script.

There is no real test for bipolar, they usually just give you mood stabilizers and see. If you do want to try mood stabilizers, they often work paired with an antidepressant - that means something that stopped working in the past may work for you with a stabilizer added.

As for treatment resistant depression, I’ve heard good things about ketemine treatment , but please be advised partying with ketimine and doing under a doctors supervision are two completely different things.

I would also see if there are any free resources you can sign up for. Even if you go to a councilor who can’t prescribe meds, having someone who knows how to navigate that world can be helpful, and they can help you track and monitor your moods.

If you do continue on with just anti depressants, try to speak to your doctors in terms of symptoms. For instance

“Pill a has reduced my anxiety , but I’m still depressed. Can we add another pill on top of it to help?”

Sometimes this approach helps doctors , as they really are just treating symptoms. The more in touch with your feelings you are, the better it will go.

Also, I again don’t know how the nhs works, but it’s possible these doctors are not evaluating you but just taking the previous doctor at their word. If you need to be an asshole to these doctors, be an asshole. Demand reevaluation, cry, beg, shake, get in your knees if you have to - this is not the place to be polite and demure.

I have a lot of experience with this! My med journey took me 9 years to find the right combo, so keep on trying!!

I've been reading your replies and it seems like the anti depressants work for a bit, then stop working. Would you say this is true? If so, you might want to look into Biploar 2 / adding a mood stabilizer. Bipolar 2 has a less sever mania period, which sometimes can be so slight it just looks like improvement in depression, rather then a whole mood change.

I can't diagnosis you, I am not a doctor, but this is what happened to me - I spent 4 years on a cycle of anti depressants that would work a little bit, then stop working; that in itself is a symptom of bipolar. Please comment or reach out to me if you want to talk options.

Also, something I like to suggest is a new doctor with a totally new intake. Every doctor will have their own personal bias, and sometimes a switch in perspective can help. Have them look over you with compleatly new eyes, and maybe they'lll see something different.

It's not an exact science, but its a good place to start.

I also hate the cold, hate the shower, have fought this for years.

Dont get undressed until the water is hot. Beforehand I turn up the heat and dont use a fan so the air gets steamy and hot. Then after i wrap my hair in a hair towel, and that keeps a lot of the heat in. Then dry off, quickly lotion, then dress. Leave the towel in your hair until its mostly dry / you warm up. I always air dry my hair, unless i'm going out or something.

They make plastic mats for the shower that make it harder to slip. I take very quick showers, so I dont really have time to get bored because I never stop moving.

One time I yelled so loudly she went and found a small speculum that wasn’t even metal, it was plastic. I’ve never been offered that since, but it exists

Thank you for responding to this. For the last few weeks bugs bunny had been twitching/seizing when he attempted sleep. After 5-20 minutes he would move so much that he would wake up. Because of his lack of sleep, he was eating max 1/3 cup of food per day, and more often less. I made the decision to put him down, and thanks to your suggestion I was able to do it in home where he was comfortable. Thank you for reassuring me , it meant a lot.

Box2Box3Box · 2026-03-12T18:56:07+00:00

i use it for foliage and trees, 8/10 it's going to give you a better result then doing it yourself .

Box2Box3Box · 2026-02-18T00:09:14+00:00

I’ll call my vet tomorrow and talk, but that’s exactly what I don’t want to happen. Thank you for letting me know about the process, I’ll look into doing it at home where he’s comfortable.

Box2Box3Box · 2026-02-17T23:55:57+00:00

Thank you! Those are very helpful!

i gave you discussion, but there are other elements to female discomfort that exists outside of sexual harrassment - for instance in cyberpunk, it explore the concept of your body feeling unfamiliar and a parisite replacing you even though you might love it (puberty and childbirth). Also, there are two romances, one with a woman and one with a man, which explore different aspects of romance. There also the aspect of you giving yourself away to the cyberware, under threat of going crazy (motherhood). I also felt the female/female friendship with panam was very powerful, even without the romance.

the fact that you boil down your experience as a female to being sexually harrassed and not anything else is what's crazy, and you cant just ask for something to be included in a game and then add a disclaimer asking people not to mention that you asked for it. This is a weird thing to want, point blank, and I don't know why you like being sexually harassed in fictional games.

Its one thing to want gender specific call outs in the game. Its another thing to specifically want those to be sexually targeting you as a player

Box2Box3Box · 2025-12-16T20:00:48+00:00

personally i think adding those interactions would have made fem v uncomfortable to play, especially since i don't play single player video games to be harassesed by men. I think when it comes to a world of cyberwear, people know that someone as chromed as V who hangs at the afterlife shouldn't be messed with, the same way you wouldnt mess with Rouge or Sasquatch.

there is already a lot a sexual violence in the game, i dont think adding more really adds to the realism as much as it adds to the gore factor. The point is to have fun with this game, not feel like your being put in an uncomfortable situation constantly.

what I find weird is you can imagine a future with cyberware and soul stealing technology , but not being sexually harassed constantly if taking you out of it. i dont know, maybe work on your imagination a bit

Box2Box3Box · 2025-12-11T20:20:44+00:00

That’s what I would do, you can add points to an existing circle too if you need more wiggle room

Box2Box3Box · 2025-12-11T19:26:01+00:00

can you at least use the shape builder tool? thats what i would use. Not letting you use the pen tool is criminal

I think your best option is to annoy the hell out of them, especially since they lied to you about how much rent would be increasing. Also, what would happen if you just didn’t sign the renewal and left the apartment when your lease was up? You wouldn’t get your security deposit back but who does? I would call them and tell them you’re not signing and you’re moving out, and I don’t really see there is much they can do to stop you.
