Where are you all. I need support/reassurance. I am so scared. I know this Is the,"depression" thread, but it is also about manic, anxiety and uncontrollable actions.

I am swiftly becoming out of control and trying to reign it in.

Are we.... all so suddenly fabulous, stable, calm and collected. Please help.

I feel terrible. But thanks for Just acknowledging i am heard
.
Is it unfair to say i had a very very different upbringing to those i am having to listen too pontificate on how people should behave. Now in reality I think that is OK, but today, I think. Oh eff off you smug middle class, Northern European, never had a struggle or a setback twats. I am not amongst my own and you will never understand. Working class chip on my shoulder? Perhaps, but at least I know what adversity really is.

Sorry, but as I say. I just feel so isolated at the moment

I am so so sorry been having a shitty few days , how's things now mate ❤️
 
Thanks for asking. I am much calmer. I was aware I was getting more and more manic and instead of looking after myself and practising good coping methods I ran headlong into it with anger and frustration and a desire to dri k too much.

What is your usual coping methods and when did you actually calm down , was it when you had some alone time or did you drink yourself into oblivion ❤️

pleased your home and back into your safe place.

Dont be too hard on yourself, its far too easy to dwell on things and end up in a downward spiral.

it wont take long to get yourself level now your home, I hope your feeling better soon and dont be shy to rant on here if you need too, loads of good people around to help when needed.

Must be awful mate to balance out between getting yourself sorted and not slipping too far but give yourself credit for finding that middle ground ❤️

Can you just stop taking 50mg of sertraline or should you wean yourself off?

I worked in the Mental Health Team mate. It's a low dose but you should always wean yourself off. You will get withdrawal symptoms otherwise. Brain Zap etc. Speak to your doctor or maybe half the tablet if you can or take every other day. Always get medical advice and good luck.

I stopped taking it for about a month after Christmas. Just didn't bother ordering my repeat prescription. I thought I was fine but the had a massive dip in mood and had to start taking them. Doesn't really answer your question like but just giving you my experience of going cold turkey.

It isn't recommended, but I have done it from SSRI the several times I have been on them for 6+ months, with no ill side effects whatsoever. It probably varies person to person but the negative effects can be very real. Doing the same with trazodone let my trauma go wild though.

It’s what people do. Feel good. Stop taking them and back to square one for majority of people.
