Mental Health.. Have you ever had a nervous breakdown? (126)
trish123: Theres a really amazing video that I have, its called "what the bleep do we know" and it actually goes into how all these pills work in the brain and cause a person to rely on chemical dependences rather than their own cognitive processes - for a while, this over-riding of personal responsibility is totally beneficial to the healing process but a Mair says above (Pillipala) long term use isnt aways a good thing. Counselling has to come into play...........
I saw a documentary about the one I used which was called Seroxat, the documentary was attempting to get it taken off the market cos of side effects of intensifying depressive behaviour - no bloody wonder I felt like solid stone...........
just thought Id add the link for"what the bleep";

Under no circumstances whatsoever consume seroxat. Just do a brief look on the net what happens to some people when they take it.
Some have awoken to find they have slaughtered their own family members in a walking zombie state with no memory of doing so.The BBC did a documentary on this years ago and there are far more effective medicines without the dangerous side effects that are well known to the entire medical community.
Anyone on seroxat see your doctor immediately and switch medication, please.
PILIPALA: Yes lots of people suffer in silence as if it some thing to be a shamed about . Its a silent illness Sad that some people think they need to hide it
I find that extremely sad too Mair cos the best way out that i ever found was to talk to people, to explain my fears and share my anxieties - life has an amazing way of coming to your rescue at times too - a woman with a cart load more problems than me moved into the house next door at just the right time to show me just how bad stuff could get if I didnt pull my finger out - so....... like a bat out of hell I began to embrace positivity in as many of its aspects as I could discern
Thanks for doing this thread Claire hun
Bowie: Funny, I was packing my bags for that trip this morning. Again, I have reminded myself that I am in control of my thoughts. It is merely a choice to be made.
It has not been an easy trip to this power of self control.
I am gonna be happy instead!!

You have been throo alot recently Robbie
Oh, this was all years ago Robbie - about 8 or 10 I think - I mentioned the documantary but even that was ages after I refused to take them any longer - I just knew they werent helping.......... I agree wholeheartedly with what you say cos I saw the documentary you refer to, people were commiting suicide and all sorts - flipping horrific!!!!
The stuff these drugs companies foist on an unsuspecting society often totally disgusts me.........

The fact is, Antidepressants are mainly placebos. Their efficacy has been called into question by a number of whistle-blowers in the pharma trade in the past year or so.
I think faith is what gets me through more than anything. The faith that, however bad it might get, it can't stay that way forever...
Good luck, everyone.

Well i'm knackered and ive lost weight and my muscles feel like jelly but the house is now hygienic and i can make food now safely so its all going as well as can be expected at my end....well excluding a lottery win, a Marco Pierre White chef doing me 20 meals a day and a new supply of dvds to watch.
You know today ive just eaten and sat still and watched "Vanilla Sky/Romeo Must Die/Time Machine and Silent Hill is on at the moment!!
The house has never ever been so sterile and it killed me to do it but i feel a whole lot safer now its done!!
Oh, do we have any gardeners nearby? Mine looks like a tip and i could use a hand, i'll make the tea and lunch while anyone removes the triffids from the back garden!
no but I could have one anytime

Mental illness, the use of websites and dating sites in particular go hand in hand.You only have to have casual glance at some of the personalities (or multiple ones) that inhabbit this and other websites to realise a significant proportion of the users can interact with other people in a normal manner where as in real life they would be unable to do so because of what ever "melancholy" permeated their personality.
The availability of computers, the ability the hide behind a persona you want to project is very appealing to some parties.
You'd never guessed i looked into this would you.....
The quantity of people with depression/sleep apnia/personality disorders would astonish you if you looked into the membership of any website.

Well depression and break downs ar much more common today I think because we live in such a high pressurized society where people are expected to live up to certain things or be looked down on by society in general...I think those that feel they can't live up to sometimes the impossible exert an enourmous amount of pressure upon themselves and that leads to a dark place....been there done that too...I was on the verge of a break-down once because I had so many serious things to deal with all at once....I hve dealt with a lot of the issues surrounding that dark time and place...however...If I am not careful I can find myself still slipping into depression....mainly because I am my own worst enemy when it comes to judging myself and putting pressure on myself...nobody does it better!!!!!!!!!!

Yep I agree with all that (and the own worst enemy thing) RobbieM: Mental illness, the use of websites and dating sites in particular go hand in hand.You only have to have casual glance at some of the personalities (or multiple ones) that inhabbit this and other websites to realise a significant proportion of the users can interact with other people in a normal manner where as in real life they would be unable to do so because of what ever "melancholy" permeated their personality.

Steps to Happiness
by Author Unknown
Everybody Knows,
You can't be all things to all people.
You can't do all things at once.
You can't do all things equally well.
You can't do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.
So,
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others, because no one else is in the contest of "being you".
Then,
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you'll be a most vital mortal.
Believe,
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in all history event.
That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

Thanx Trish that is a great poem and soooooooo true...once you stop caring what others think...It get a lot easier...sometimes though the battle is hard when you have people around you consantly reminding you that you should be sooooooo much more than you are...those people have no care for the person you are....just the one they expect you to be!!!!!!!!!
Yadda yadda...
Bottom line. Drugs are never the answer. I'm sorry, but the pharma companies aren't interested in your happiness, only their huge wallets...and they conceal any study that doesn't conform with their skewed performance reports on their anti-depressants.

i had a very bad nervouse breakdown about 4 years ago, i was in the process of overcoming some very harsh demons, thought i was doing good dealing with the withdrawl, until somebody said something to me to diminish my efforts...........and i snapped. i ended up punching out the windows of my truck breaking my hand punching something else, it was very bad. i never ever want to see myself loose control like that again, it was so bad and so violent i even scared myself. thats my confession, i've been walking around with that for the past four years and it feels great to get it off my chest, thank you for creating the forum to allow me that releif.
