[lparkinson in reply to Hidden]

No that's one place I'd never go it's my anxiety

[Iluvhorses in reply to lparkinson]

Are you talking about going to the hospital again? Maybe you could check in with a psychiatrist on a regular basis. I'm no doctor, so this is just a mere suggestion.

[lparkinson in reply to Iluvhorses]

No I have never been to hospital I was under a councillor n have referred myself back to him 

[Iluvhorses in reply to lparkinson]

Oh. Sry for the misunderstanding. I thought I saw the word "hospital" in one of the other messages and assumed you had talked about a hospitalization in another post or something. Anyway maybe you need a mental break from your job and/or school?

[lparkinson in reply to Iluvhorses]

That's fine dun need to go to hospital I'm getting there slowly which is gud 

[Iluvhorses in reply to lparkinson]

Good

Hi. I had the same kind of feeling for nearly 4-5 months starting from September. I hated it.

[lparkinson in reply to Kainan]

It is horrible I been like this for bout 5 month now 

[lparkinson in reply to Kainan]

And has your head cleared

[Kainan in reply to lparkinson]

Yes it went away after I started exercising again and sleeping better. I feel like the brain fogginess and other symptoms are due to really low quality sleep and a lot of pent up anxiety/frustration. So if they are remedied I think the spaced out feelings should subside. Are you feeling any better?

[lparkinson in reply to Kainan]

A bit better yes just keep thinking the worst of it but my blood tests were normal so need to try n tell myself that 

[Kainan in reply to lparkinson]

that's good

[lparkinson in reply to Kainan]

Yes it is gud news so no reason to worry

Hello

Have you been sectioned and you have now asked to go back at Your Request ??

If you are feeling very low you need to understand why you are feeling the way you do.

CBT with a CPN will help although treatment in hospital can vary and they may be proactive with those ways like ECT or Group Therapy.

It is always good to come to terms with past and present problems as acceptance of uncomfortable memories means you can begin to heal yourself and become more calm and happy

We are around for a chat
