I had a mental breakdown
do not recommend it, shaking, talking to yourself, proper full on crying and general falling apart
Still have anxiety issues... but its ALOT better, I can now sit down for a cup of tea in a cafe without wanting to run away :)

There is help out there - do not be afraid to ask for help

Good to have a positive plan.
The crying thing sounds like a bit of a waste of time TBH.

Watch out for ATOS
I managed to get to the appointment: ergo I was fit for work. I didn't even start looking for another year, that's how well I was.

Happier times now.

Hang in there.

I am terrified of ATOS but I have enough points on physical health without my mentalness.
dreading the medical but hey, I've worked and paid my stamp for 20 years....

So, just to clarify.
ATOS = bad
ALOT = better

Oh don't get me wrong, they tried to...
I was on antidepressants and they kept trying to get me to goto counselling, i'd say a few steps away from the white jacket
and thank you

I did a month inpatient and if I hadn't been so horribly ill it would have been hilarious.
am going back on Sunday for the 'Xmas party' - I hope special Jane doesn't lick all the mince pies and throw them over the fence like at Halloween with the biscuits :(

Don't be afraid to do things you love
You can be whatever you want to be
You can do anything
Things maybe looking down, but life is like a see saw... enjoy the ride

Patronisers are fucking patronising
It's a sure fire method of spotting "the normal people".

Edit: Sorry SKug - didn't realise you were being tongue in cheek!

no worries
there are little things that stick in your head... they may sound patronising but sometimes they stick and yeah you know?

my view is that only at certain times in our lives are we fully aware of the true horror of existence

(, Mon 17 Dec 2012, 16:51, closed)
You seem to be suggesting that 'the true horror of existence' is an objective fact.
Bit negative, innit?
