Well done, i'm so proud of you for getting through it! I'm so glad your'e youth worker was able to go with you, that's fantastic support.

Give the Citalopram a go, it usually takes a few weeks to kick in, but you should start feeling better.

When are you getting your first councelling session?

Are you feeling a little bit better now? x

It is a huge step forward and as poppet6 said well done! Starting treatment is scary, I felt the very same way and it can be tough at times but it is important you get the help you need and deserve. Meds do take a while to settle in your system but hopefully it will help. Hope your feeling a little better.

i dont know yet they sent off a refeal off to these people but know i worried as my youth worker wants me to put to together a net working plan

which is basical what they can do to help i have to include both my high moods and when im low so this can go to locialty and other members of youth workers to sign include i dont know were to start as i know is very diffculy to cope with me when im high but im lot bubble and happy and laghyter but it when i come down it lots worst so dont what to include the youther just said you only know you what was good but it diffculy as i have to do it on my own :((

Who did they send the referrral off too?

Did they not offer you any mood stabilisers? It sounds like they may help if you suffer frequent mood swings.

i dont know i dont remember No they never did only thign they offered was the cilatopram but i think thats more to with the anxitey stuff then the moods i think i may need to say about my mood swings with high and lows next time :

Do you know if your youth worker took any notes - It may be worth checking what their recollection of the appointment is.

Well done on going - I know how hard appointments can be, and so it is a huge step to have got through it. It sounds like you have a tremendous support in the youth worker.
