"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"

Best wishes e h .

"paul6565 8:16 Thu May 25 ...and you'd had your Covid mRNA 'vaccines', no doubt..?"

Well done paul good luck and thanks for sharing mate

Had a good read through this thread the very best to all that are trying and in recovery. I had a shock heart attack July 2022 and was a fully fit running 30 miles a week condition person.. But you just never know. I am on my way back now after two heart ops and four stents.. The mind is the worst thing after this kind of illness and therapy has brought me a long way. I recommend this treatment after always saying no.

Back to work loads of it about

"Charley, Thank you. That sanctity also extends outside of this thread so if anyone uses something someone has shared on this thread go goad or insult another poster 'in the playground' then that's equally deplorable."

"Just another reminder to all !!!!!! 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"

Westham67 1:36 Thu Apr 27 Re: Anxiety/depression Been on Sertraline for over a decade. It's a lifesaver.

Annony 2:51 Sat Apr 1 I just re read your post. Is stopped drinking alcohol about 6 years ago and my hormones went through the roof and it did effect my mental health without me knowing it. Sertraline has calmed me down somewhat

Westham67 4:23 Thu Apr 20 . Thanks a lot bud. Much appreciated. Hope all well with you and everyone.

From my experience with Sertaline they take the edge off of some issues dont ask for an increase in dosage if you feel they are not working as that can make you feel worse as it did me The Samaritans are good for talking you dont have to be thinking about taking your own life to speak to them. You have friends on here cat all the best

No worries. Just seen my typos lol. Mind = kind of meds Founds = friends

Toms and Pents. Thanks very much for your insight and support. Hope you lads doing okay as well.

"As tomshardwaee said, u could get anxiety amd even feel more depressed at first but after a month or so it balances out. Fair play to u for writing. If the depression or anxiety becomes uncontrollable, reach out to GP as some of these mind of meds only suit some and they can change to another for u. I'm sure it will be OK. I've never gone on anti depressants etc but have many founds who have and never looked back so for u, better times ahead I'm.sure."

"Yngwies cat, you might get some side effects in the first few days of taking them but they normally settle down. Takes time for the body to get used to them but they can really help to take the edge off the deep lows. Also if you don't find them right for you then go back to your GP. All the best."

bruuuno 8:12 Mon Apr 17 That's what I am talking about! Kudos fella.

Cheers Bruno. Thanks.

"You are not along yngwies a lot of us are struggling remember that things can and will get better no matter how shit it seems now. My ex used to take that she said it was really helpful in preventing the real lows but also stopped her from experiencing real joy. Said it balanced her out and was a valuable tool, see it as a tool. Good luck mate you are amongst people who actually give a shit on this here thread"

"Thanks lads. I was a bit hesitant to post. Much appreciated. First steps an all that. Lads hope wherever you are your getting support. Thanks, means a lot."

"yngwies Cat, I have no experience of this but you've always come across as a decent poster, (plus you're into 'proper' music), hope it all works out for you."

yngwies Cat I get it. It's fear of the unknown and a feeling of lack of control of own destiny. Talking frankly without fear of judgement and with a view that someone can relate/provide information is something you DO have control over so your post is a step forward. We see you. Take care and hopefully Thursdays result is another tonic for you.
