Hi have you been diagnosed with bi polar or depression etc? Are you on any meds or having any counselling? Living with bad tempered bf doesn't sound much fun! x

I never been diagnosed or seek any help. I was ok before i come to Scotland. I can't take any depression med as i have skin problem (psoriasis).My doc said it will make it worst. This matter also effect me abit. I don't like the way i become now. I super sensitive and cry alot. Now i hurt myself when we fell out. I don't know if i was the one who has the problem or my boyfriend. He make me confused. When i think about all the stuff i start cry and i get headache after that. Its very difficult for me. One minute he makes me happy and after that he just shout and get crazy over small things. I really don't know what to do.

when you spoke to your doctor about meds for depression, when she said that they would make your psoriasis worse did she suggest anything else? If it were me i'd be back to see the doctor again.There are many people with psoriasis who take meds for depression and they do not make the psoriasis worse . all the best. grace xoxo

Hi Grace. I haven't see any therapist before. That was my skin specialist advice not to take any depressing med it will flares up psoriasis. Anyway thanks for yr advice i definitely will see a doc to get a test if i really do have a problem cus never experience anything like this. Or maybe i just need to break up with my partner then things will be different. I just don't have a guts to do so that's why I will seeking a help.

I suffer PsA and it is a nasty thing to have had it now for thirty odd years

Hi. I feel sorry for you. What stage are you now? Can it be cure?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

My Ps is remaining clear while my spine, hands and feet are still suffering I had my first finger Tendon operated on to stop trigger finger and it is still stiff, although it does not trigger.

I take my Opiates and NSID Cox 2 and Amytrptalene for nuro damage, also ADs for my reactive depression all part of life and its rich tapestry

Ask your doctor to arrange psychotherapy counselling. It is very useful and helps.

Good luck

Thank you x

Yes I have done that on several occasions

Always keep reminding yourself that you are special and deserve to be happy. One day, one evening you may just stop and think to yourself; Well that day wasn't too bad. Good luck.

Everyone here has supported me when I have been going through bad times; I'm sure they will with you too. They're a good bunch

The bad tempered boyfriend I'm very familiar with! It will exaserbate any condition you have if the one you love & live with is anything but supportive. We all deserve better.
