G'night Mark!

*Gives Matt oliver and crimson another hug*

Its my 4th ryl anniversary soon! :hop: :hop:

Laura - Thanks. *hug* Please keep taking your meds until you can speak to a doctor or therapist about stopping them. There may be a particular way you need to come off them and by coming off them with a bang you could make yourself very ill. Side effects often last a couple of weeks before they settle down, and it can also be a couple of weeks before you feel any beneficial effects from taking the meds. My advice would be to hang on as much as possible and give yourself a bit more time. Then if you still feel the same, come off them. Maybe it would be worth getting a regular doctor and discussing mental health with them? I don't know how it works there, but here, you can't get any where without a General Practioner, except therapy through charities, but you can't get meds at all or non-charity provided support, like psychs etc.

Mark - that was NOT your fault. It sounds like you were purposefully prodded into drinking that beer. It's ok to not be able to fight back more when you're struggling; it doesn't make you weak or a failure or useless or anything like that. Do you have another relative you can get to talk to your father about his behaviour? He's in the wrong here.

Felicia - we should talk more, we seem to have loads in common.

Crimson - a list with subcategories is FAB! Honestly it is - if you can organise things like that and divide things into categories, you are doing amazing! And it's not about what's "normal"; it's about what works for you. If you're still nervous let a friend/relative/RYLer read your list first.

Oliver - omg you're back!! Hi!! *squishes Oliver gently* Really hope you feel better soon. Please talk to us when you feel like ODing or post a thread in Serious and post a link to it here. We will get you through - there is always someone about.

Ian - I'm glad you've come out the other side of your few bad days. *hug*

Matt - Is the bouncing around in moods a regular thing for you? Could you maybe try mood stabilisers, if you haven't already? Moodscope is a good website for tracking fluctuations in moods.

I'm, yeah, still here. Doctors on Wednesday, then Friday and Sunday I am going to move into the ward and you'll have to chain me to a padded wall to keep me safe. :hazard:

Just don't wanna seem totally off my rocker, ya know? As far as someone reading it... I have just you guys. :S

MJ is right, so long as you can be bothered to actually do it. I used it some then had low points where I couldn't be arsed to even try doing that. But it is a good one.
*hugs all* I'm off for the night

Well I'm happy to read over anything any of you would like me to. Any time. Just PM me, and please label a triggering PM in the subject line. x

*hugs all*
sorry for not doing individuals, I'm especially dizzy today. Just getting out of bed was a struggle, cause I didn't know where 'up' and 'down' was.

MJ, thanks for the reply. Here in Germany we don't need to go to a GP to get a psych or meds. And my Therapist is a GP, just not my GP. lol.
I think I'm going to take the meds till she's back (thursday in a week).
I read the info in the package and it said that the meds have to 'fade out' or something. If I take one every other day I should be fine, right? I'm not going to try that now though, cause I don't want to experiment with my meds when I have to take care of kids.
I have to take care of kids and teach them how to work with horses in the next 2 weeks.
