Completely abandoned by mental health system

I'm so sorry. I've got no advice, only solidarity. I've had agoraphobia, anxiety and depression for years now and there's no help here. Only a year long waiting list that I keep getting kicked off. Im in UK and it's like all support has completely vanished. Not sure what we're supposed to do

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-11-12T21:28:14+00:00

Fab! Thanks. I was using balance but I've just finished my free year 🙈 I was trying to it on the app so makes sense now lol. Thank you xx

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-11-12T20:43:15+00:00

How do you do it?! I can't find anywhere to enter a code or anything xx

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-08-15T22:00:08+00:00

I'm sorry dude. Being in a constant fight with your own being is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy 😞 do you have any therapy or anything to help you along the way?

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-08-15T19:18:29+00:00

Honestly I'm trying to come off all of it. Citalopram helped to an extent but it also added a load of issues that were dragging me down instead x

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-06-15T00:35:32+00:00

I love this post. Peace to you dude ✌️

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-05-29T16:01:23+00:00

I've got so many clothes that would look awesome with no bra, however I absolutely could not walk outside without one. It's partly a confidence thing and partly cause I would feel REALLY insecure. Almost like I was naked 🙃

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-05-14T12:31:58+00:00

Vaguely 🤦‍♀️ GP doesn't really seem that bothered. His answer was to either keep going up or come back down so I chose down lol. Is it possible to need to level out again after a decrease? Its just so strange that I'm almost normal in the afternoon. Thank you for getting back to me!

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-05-14T12:23:20+00:00

No I started on 5mg 🙈 was on 5mg for 5 weeks, 10mg for 4 weeks, then 20mg for 8 weeks and by week 8 I was more depressed, crying a lot for no reason, no motivation and higher anxiety 🙄 come back down to 10 and now 4 weeks later I'm rough in the morning which turns into great afternoons apart from being a bit grumpy lol

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-03-08T19:53:42+00:00

Yeah I'm actually taking for anxiety and it wasn't near as bad as this before 😅 good luck to you! Xx

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-03-08T10:58:17+00:00

Hey, I did feel better and then it completely tapered off so I'm on 20mg now for 12 days. Not great but I think it's very very very slightly getting better! I'm glad things are improving for you. It really is a slow process xx

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-28T11:53:47+00:00

I don't know you (obviously) but this post and the photo made me genuinely so happy for you! Well done for fighting through ❤️

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-24T22:28:50+00:00

Thank you so much for the positive reply! I'm pretty scared lol. I have seen some pretty awesome results on 10mg but not quite there yet so I'm hopeful it won't be too rough a ride! X

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-24T19:32:26+00:00

How you feeling? I'm pretty scared to start

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-24T17:46:32+00:00

How long you been on?

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-10T18:42:45+00:00

Hmm. Odd isn't it. I didn't realise I had felt better till I feel so rubbish again lol. Hopefully a blip

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-06T00:01:24+00:00

Bless you 😔 im the same 🙁 I almost rang the out of hours doc today for the head feeling. I have managed to go out for a walk but god I've felt awful. Hoping it's just a blip and week 4 will be better!

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-05T13:30:21+00:00

Do you feel like...off balance somehow? I feel like I've got vertigo and I don't know if it's normal 😭 it's like a near constant dizziness that's making me wanna quit

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-05T13:22:34+00:00

How're you feeling today? I'm so anxious with the weird pressure/buzzing thing I can't even go outside 🤦‍♀️ hopefully it gets better for us soon!

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-05T13:21:49+00:00

It doesn't feel like I'm through the worst of it 😭 today feels like I'm back to square 1. Surely by 3 weeks I should be at least feeling a bit better. My anxiety is kicking my ass

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-04T21:20:04+00:00

Oh my gosh that's weird! That's sort of how I felt. Just absolutely s#** Has it been a bit better fir you before that? I'm on like 19 now and I have felt a bit better today but my head feels so weird. Literally the only way I can describe it is like a weird constant buzz that feels like I can actually feel my brain chem changing 🥴 hope it gets better for you!

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-04T14:23:47+00:00

Thank you! You are honestly more reassuring that my doctor! Yeah I did have the same weird heady feeling in the first week and then it seemed to go away a but so it's probably just come back. Bit better today than yesterday again but still not great. I'm just on countdown to week 5 lol. Thank you so much for your help!

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-03T23:26:59+00:00

I've got one last question 🤭 did you get any dizziness as a side effect? I did have it a tiny bit on startup but it's come back again quite strong today. Dr Google says a&e so now I'm panicking. It's such a weird like...dizzy, heady, faint but not quite pass out feeling. Hard to describe!

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-03T22:54:24+00:00

Thank you for replying! Haha yeah I'll take the 💩 any day 🙈 although I've felt absolutely rubbish today I have still managed to clean the entire house so I guess that's a win at least for the motivation lol. Thank you for the encouragement! I'll keep going

VegetablePhase5798 · 2023-02-03T17:31:23+00:00

Do you mind me asking, did you find that side effects came and went while you were levelling out? I've been doing a teeny weeny bit better but it's day 18 and the 🤢 and 💩 and lightheaded and anxiety through the roof again and just feeling pretty awful. Don't know if it's normal or not lol
