Is anybody back?

Hi all!
I used to love this community and coming on and chatting with people who felt the same as me.
I was just wondering if anybody was still using these forums?
I am in a bad way mentally at the moment so looking for support from people who know what it is I’m feeling.

Also glad that the forum is back. I’ve really been struggling with my anxiety for the last couple of weeks. Feel extremely overwhelmed.

So happy to see this forum is back. Is there anyone that is coming off of opioids, tramadol specifically. Would love to hear some tips and advice.

Hi, I am in the same boat as you. I am not in a good place right now. We can chat if you would like.

I have been on Prozac for about 6 months now. It has worked for me but things come up and it gets in my head and I swear the meds don’t work

Hi Wendy. Nice to ‘meet’ you. How are you doing? The brain can be horrible sometimes.

Hi Ruby.t91! I glad (and surprised) to hear this community returned! I used to come here for emotional support and advice after dealing with a detached retina. The thought of possibly losing my sight put me in the gutter of despair. I never understood why they shut it down. I’m so sorry you’re struggling. It might take time for this forum to get moving along again, but you’ve opened the door and because of you, this is my first post! Are you receiving medical guidance right now? I know it’s not always easy to get mental health care.

Hi. ruby, I am in the same way. I suffer from chronic pain, depression and anxiety. I feel my pain and my depression are connected. When I am in lots of pain my depression gets worse and anxiety. When my depression is bad my pain gets bad. There is no help out there at the moment the NHS are so backed up all my GP will give me is more painkillers more antidepressants more anti-anxiety tablets. Unless you’re going to pay for a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist, which cost a fortune. Where I live you have to wait for more than a year for one on the NHS so no there’s no help but maybe this forum can help so moan away to me as much as you like and if you agree, I’ll moan to you okay? Take care.

Good morning!
Sounds like you aren’t having a great time so yes, you can always rant away to me!
I am not having a great time either at the moment. My physical side effects from re-starting Prozac are making me more worried as I suffer with health anxiety very badly!

I’m very sorry to hear that, do you really need Prozac ? Could you not try anything else with a bit more stability and not so addictive ? Maybe your doctor could advise you .
