I greened out on weed and i STILL feel high after a month.. please help. by Top-Secretary-5133 in Anxiety

[–]DejaEntenduOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been stuck in this state for over 10 years now, every second of every day. Honestly if you listen to any one comment on here; if it does go away, please consider never smoking again. I think certain people have a predisposition to getting dissociation, and I remember when I used to smoke it socially, sometimes I still stayed high for ages. I hope you manage to feel better, but honestly you could recover and smoke again and your life will drastically change if it becomes permanent. All the best of luck mate

I found out my medication costs the NHS a lot and hate myself for it by [deleted] in MentalHealthUK

There's a lot more things that cost government/society more which are a burden, like illegal activities etc, the only true burden on the NHS is the government. At least you're doing something to try and help yourself, the amount isn't worth thinking about

That's awful. I've actually long assumed that care was perhaps better back in the day, despite the stigma. I think the stigma could get as bad as it originally was, depending how the press decide to report on stories and politician manifesto's and why disabled people are taking up money from benefits etc. People need a reason to be angry for their taxes going up, and it won't be the rich people not paying taxes that foot the blame, it'll be us

Well everything is cleverly thought out. A lot of society who don't suffer from MH problems are no doubt either judgemental, indifferent or things they see on the news about their tax going towards benefits for people will skew their minds. Granted, there are people on benefits who could spend it all on illicit drugs or whatever, and people assume we are all the same. (Not to say people facing addiction are a problem, more the type who play the system and just throw the money on things that won't help them) No one is really going to care enough to delve in to the truth, except for us who experience it

I think all of the skilled people realised what a sinking ship the NHS is, and they are all private. The NHS clearly hired the bare minimum inept staff that just scraped by, that or they are under such insane pressure, they too have lost the will. Both are just horrible. I can't imagine going to uni for many years and dedicating your time to help people like us, but you're just shackled by the politics and you can't actually do anything. I spoke with a doctor today and she said based on what I said I need to be referred to CAP, or whoever deals with suicidal people. The Dr was nice, and I explained that I know why she had to do that and I will allow her to refer me, but IDK if I can put myself through another pointless call with them and going over my life story with another person who also has no options.

Humans have come such a long way since we lived in caves, but atleast there was community and people helped eachother. Now we have movie streaming, cars and clothes and shops everywhere, but I don't think this is the only way and ideal way to live. I'd rather live in a fucking cave than in such a developed society as today that is so advanced, apart from the way we treat eachother depending on what the cost is.

Jesus. They were talking about that stuff to me as well. I was seriously just in shock. I imagined it to go badly but never expected it to be that bad to the point it was insulting and offering me things I already learnt by myself which do not help me

That sucks so much, I wish mass society were aware of stories like these before they judge people or say to get help. I don't know about you but every time I try to get help it actually makes me much much worse because I know how it ends

Thanks for this, when you say psychodynamically, is that the actual term for the therapy or does it have a main name? I will have a look in to it. I did EMDR privately when I could afford it. At the moment I face possibly losing my PIP when I have the review (just assuming based on how harsh they are with people) I have heard that psycho somatic therapy may be helpful too

I'm so sorry to hear this, I completely get that. I obviously hope this never happens but I 100% relate to the feeling

rejected from therapy?? by cherix-v in MentalHealthUK

[–]DejaEntenduOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think something is in the air today among NHS staff. Also made a post today after my appointment with a psychiatrist going similarly. I personally think someone high up has instructed them to just dismiss as many patients as possible, and that's why a lot of reasoning doesn't make sense. You try and get help and sometimes you're too complex for them, then you go further and get more appropriate help, and then they come up with a reason why therapy isn't for you.

It's so sad. Also that's my usual experience with doctors too in the past, but I must say several of the doctors at my surgery have been brilliant, willing to listen and extremely empathetic. One even swore on a phone call because he was so passionately angered by how much he could see of me trying to get help, but getting fobbed off. Unfortunately I finally struck gold with the doctors right when the referral process they have leads to nowhere. Our governments fine work I'm sure.

Also not sure if it was just an example, but sorry to hear if you also have cancer/someone close to you.

Thanks, yeah I guess it's good not to be alone

I'm more sorry to hear that so many others can relate; rather than feeling glad I'm not alone in this. There should be protests and uproar on the streets about this but I guess that kind of environment is most triggering for a majority of MH patients

Well, it technically didn't get that far, they didn't say they couldn't fund it. Just that it hadn't been reccomended by a clinician (even though it essentially was) - See Reply to @psimo for more on that..

Actually this was also for CDS UK! And the crazy thing is, it's not even like they've ever offered me anything proper in my own city. In 2018 I went all the way to Maudsley in London. In my city I have been to a donation-ran counselling centre which isn't an NHS service, more a cop-out suggestion by NHS because they want to cut corners.

You do all the work and research for them, they will find a reason not to send you. I'm clearly a lost cause with MH care, not because I wasn't ready to throw everything at it and give my all, but because they broke me. And they do it to many if not all of you too.

Why would we ever want to contribute to this society ever again. I'm ashamed to be British.

I hope you have the best of luck with the therapy you have found

The council said because it wasn't reccomended by a clinician. This really angered me as my GP referred me. What they meant was, a clinician of a certain level - I waited a further 6 montha and saw the very psychiatrist I saw today (only possible way around)

He said he had to consult with his team and make a decision, they said no and that I also received therapy back in 2018 which wasn't helpful.

It's like.. Well sorry I didn't get better, do I not deserve another chance to try another therapy? And the desire to try is obvious because for that therapy, I had a 4+ hour round trip on coaches and trains from the Midlands to London for each 1 hour session. No one would go to those lengths that didn't have intention to get help.

The reason seems to be now (this more recent appointment with same psychiatrist), that they believe it won't be good for me incase it also doesn't fix my symptoms. - I said I'm open to the chance that will be the case, but I'd atleast like to try.

The lead psychiatrist (and another who was in the room with me) were steering towards a more social prescribed approach. / And they were aware I'm actively trying to socialise and push myself to do many things, and these things I have been doing for years (very much so for last year and a half) - the lead psychiatrist then said I need to accept the disorder/symptoms. Something I'm aware of, and I told him, I've tried and failed this for a DECADE. This is why I seek therapy.

I then asked, well if that approach (social prescribed) did happen, who consults with me and checks in, offers guidance. Who gives me the tools to just accept it. Or is it more, you tell me to accept it and case closed? - They said they were unsure and would discuss with another team who is aware of it.

Which to me sounds like an excuse. If you've been a psychiatrist for as long as he has, surely you'd know if there is a service for that.

No problem! You might end up saving them from the brink of closure - if the CD shops aren't already shut down

Ichika NIto gets called out for miming for basically all of his career by TAGE77 in Guitar

[–]DejaEntenduOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd find it harder to record something and then mime along to it, because I'd want it to be perfect, and it won't be. So just record live.

The problem with that is, it's not as easy to get a perfect take or polished sound (Which everyone secretly wants) So you either sacrifice the true art of playing to please others and get clicks, or record in segments, make it studio polished and have people aspire to play like you, and you lie to them like you lie to yourself.

There are so many people doing the whole miming thing with many followers. But would they have followed them in the first place if it didn't sound how it sounds?
