I agree with Jelly Fairy - maybe the fantasies are because on some level you want people to realise that you are self-harming, or to acknowledge how badly you are feeling.

Obviously it wouldn't be a...

Hi Non Volo,
I'd say the "Mental health" board is probably the best bet if it's about difficulties in your life and it doesn't clearly fit anywhere else.

And welcome to RYL!

Hi Mrsnyums,
Sorry to hear you're having such a bad time. If you're prone to depression generally it's not too surprising that a redundancy, a separation and moving house all in the space of a few...

Can you phone the Dr to talk about it -like leave a message to say things have got worse and can she call you?
I'm not sure how it works in France though.

Maybe if you're sick of them then come off gradually, if that's what's being suggested, it makes sense.

But NOT cold turkey. Especially not with the venlafaxine - sudden withdrawal from it can be...

I agree with you - if they work and the side effects aren't too bad then it makes sense to stay on them.

That's a bit rubbish of her really. I guess they're seeing mood variability and then jumping to conclusions?

Mefenamic acid does exist as capsules, I was prescribed them once. If you don't want to see the dr you can go into any chemist and ask to speak to the pharmacist - they're good at this sort of stuff.

It's most likely a symptom of anxiety/stress.

Yes you did the right thing - you didn't harm yourself.

It's kind that you want to help her - just be sure you are strong enough in yourself before you get too involved. Helping someone face to face could potentially be a bit triggering I guess.

Were you using the rubber band as an alternative to injuring in another way? If so this isn't really a relapse - because your aim was not to damage yourself. No need to feel guilty.
