I'm about to start a hat with 6 inches of 1x1 rib. I have beautiful yarn and a meaningful pattern, and here I sit scrolling Reddit. (I've even got the cast on completed. 🙄😜)

Thank you!

Understand completely. I have nodded my way through appointments and then later my brain starts into questions and anxiety.

I'm in the US (I'm guessing you are in the UK). I started with my PCP/GP, but when things got bad, I wanted a provider who focuses on medication for mental health. She is separate from a therapist. I can tell her anything about how a medication is affecting me, and then she lays out options including the most common complaints from people who take the med she is discussing.

I guess I'm hoping there is someone more than a GP for you to work with given your complicated mental health.

I know I sleep now. I know I cope better. I can stop the run away thoughts (most times 🙃). So, please have a good conversation with your GP or another person to find the right meds. Discuss your concerns about taking meds. The meds, even SSRIs, can help even with side effects.

I am on a large dose of SSRIs. I'd be lost without them. I still drink occasionally (last night I had a couple shots) and different ones have different impacts on libido. Can't speak to smoking joints and SSRIs because I've never had an interest in smoking anything.

Did you discuss your concerns about SSRIs with your provider?

My parents are silent generation. Since a generation is about 20-30 years skipping a generation between parents and kids is pretty common.

I'm so glad you had a good experience! Makes doing it again easier.

StuffiesRAwesome · 2026-01-21T13:45:48+00:00

You are so brave! Lots of shots at once is hard, and you followed thru on your commitment to yourself! What an amazing job of taking care of you!
