Anxiety/depression

[Tomshardware]

"Been through bad time lately with suffering with this. Dark thoughts as well. I know some posters on here suffer with this. Anyone come through the other side of this shit?

"A number of posters have been yellow carded and told to stay off this thread unless they have anything constructive to add.This is a thread that has been very useful to so many, for any other posters with scores to settle, argue on another thread. This thread is sacrosant.Thank you"

"ed fenton 3:14 Mon Apr 11 Seems like another lifetime now, Ted, down there in Chav corner IIRC. All the best mate and the rest of the boys in here COYI"

[Irish Hammer]

"Thanks67 mate, All our own personal issues are as significant o us as anyone else's is to you. Walk you own path and try channel your sadness to fight n rage n hate towards any issues / illness or struggles you have. its like running up a big mountain.yes it will hurt like like hell but when you get there its the greatest achievement to feel reborn and invincible. Send square, face you issues head on, and tell it to fucking come on then and fight whoever you can Its weirdly enough not about winning, its about competing and honouring yourself along the way that counts. I got gutting news yesterday but it just joins the pile of it and I get up and go as best I can today, and hopefully the a little nice things (like my missus driving an hour to the hospital so I can meet with her in the carpark for half an hour. That's special and worth living for. Allow yourself to find the happy parts in your day today and drop your macho/tough guy side and embrace and enjoy the purity in them and hold them tight. Life is special and wonderful, hold onto it, its not a competition, its a celebration Sorry for waffling on. Happy Saturday all. Irons x"

Irish Hammer 10:36 Sun Apr 3 My woes pale into insignificance compared to yours. No one expected me to live including the doctors and here I am today scuffed and bruised with stuffing knocked out of me but still alive Stay strong mate be resilient you can do it

"Brilliant, hadn't seen that üëè"

[ted fenton]

Love it Pent ! Not sure if you've seen this but I love it.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz2zg32Lww4

[Pentonville]

Nice one Ted. I think we all have a spring in our step today. I'm at my 3.5 Yr old soft play place proudly wearing my 1980 FA Cup Final tracksuit top thinking how long ago Xmas now feels. COYI

[ted fenton]

"Feeling elated after last nights result still buzzing especially seeing Tony Cottee leading the ""West ham Are Massive"" I'm also feeling better in myself and think my body has now accepted the cut of 50gr Fentanyl down to 25mg on this for 1 to 2 months then go down to 12.5 mg. Wishing you all well."

[Pentonville]

Bit of cunty view point and on the morning after such a positive night too.

"Reading some of the stuff on here makes me want to laugh and cry! Some people are beyond help, irrespective of what you do, they are destined to fail. That’s reality, people are wired differently!"

[ted fenton]

"Hi Mace, I was on 75mg and cut to 50mg this time 50mg to 25mg so yes you're right a big jump...Just been talking to my surgery and my GP recommends I stay on 25mg for 1 or 2 months and then 12.5mg....He has also prescribed Diazepam for when I taper back. Thanks again for the season tickets you managed to get us back in 2008 I believe ;-)"

[Mace66]

"Ag @ Troy Ted, presumably they're 25 increments and can't be cut up like a tab can. No surprise 50 to 25 is tougher as it's 50% drop compared to 33% 75 to 50. So you'd expect it to be tougher .. stick with it, you'll get there"

[ted fenton]

What a shit weekend not only Brentford doing the double over us but I came down from 50gr Fentanyl patches to 25gr still feel rough now but seem to be getting over the swap... 75gr to 50gr was a lot easier.

[Troy McClure]

"Thanks for sharing mate, appreciate it 👍🏼"

[Pentonville]

"Haha Yeah not a good time to change! My sleeping went fucked, libido disappeared and my ego went through the roof or I felt very anxious. Nothing In between. After 5 years I stopped and it took about 6 months to balance it. I've avoided all anti depressants since but obviously was a mistake due to my countless fuck ups but I'm finding therapy now very helpful and still not on meds."

[Troy McClure]

Cheers Pentonville Funny u should say that.. while I’m transferring over from Mirtazapine my sleeping has gone to shit and the wife reckons I’m very irritable I told her what do you expect … the referee was a fucking wanker!

[Pentonville]

Troy Was on pozac 27 years ago. Put me off anti depressants for life after about 5 years.... all I'd say I'd say is just to remain aware of your personality and ask ur self if its having a negative effect despite lifting the depression.

[ted fenton]

Cheers Panama. Yes it sounds like you are compensated which is good I saw a GP a couple of years back that didn't know what I was talking about !! I suppose it's a specialist's field so I'll let him off ;-) Take care.

[Troy McClure]

Was having sleepless nights last year so was prescribed some antidepressants - after a review I’ve been prescribed Fluoxetine - which I’ve just found out is Prozac. Anyone else? Prozac based anecdotes? Fuck knows what’s wrong. Lack of social interaction probably Irons.

"Ted , I must be Compensated as they found no varices in my throat after poking that horrible tube down my neck . I’ve never jaundiced neither even though I am now recently cured from the Hep C that I had had for pushing 40 years . Whatever you’re doing , difficult as it is , you’ve got another chance , stick with the raw garlic , ginger , lemon & Tumeric & the love of your family ."

Music is very powerful. Something to grasp on to. Praying your daughter can get the right help üôè

[charleyfarley]

Good luck NS glad to see there is a chink of light and hope your daughter can get some help

[ted fenton]

Thoughts go out to your daughter and you and your family NS let's hope your daughter now gets the help that she needs. Thankfully she has a loving family in her corner.

"Well after I’d say after 6 months we have finally been able to get somewhere with getting my daughter seen by the appropriate people… been an absolute torturous few months with whacking heads against red tape and NHS road blocks at every turn. With her being out of sight (not out of mind) does not help the matter but we’ve got to abide by her independent choice… not out the woods by a long way but a chink of light is there… and we will fight all the way for her. Not the only one in the same boat… loads of my mates kids in the same boat.. self harming, suicidal thoughts, real cries for help since Lockdown etc… Helped big time on Saturday… Sam Fender in concert… spit of me and the Dying Light… that Northern Monkey lad is better (and cheaper) than any psychiatrist. Keep strong people for both yourself and your loved ones… Sam Fender – The Dying Light This town is a world of waifs and strays Comedy giants, penniless heroes Dead men at the bar, I've drank with them all Through misadventure and drag But I'm alone here Even though I'm physically not And those dead boys are always there There's more every year Maybe I could use a hand I must admit I'm out of bright Ideas to keep the hell at bay Distractions only last a day The night is so impossible It haunts the few who dare to look Its marks are so hereditary I'm terrified of having kids But I'm damned if I give up tonight I must repel the dying light For Mom and Dad and all my pals For all the ones who didn't make The night"
