I know what you have to go through with UK docs...luckily my GP prescribes me anything I want to try....he seems to understand the WWW.
Its ridiculous somebody ought to evaulate UK psychiatry...you don't get proper help unless youre killing yourself properly..by which time its too late...or you have BP or schizophrenia..
I can see a tone in the posts here which echos mine..how to deal with being here and having been trough long term de-railment at a young age...and then getting well thanks to meds..
I'm North of the Border..where people have a tendency to shun you when weak..or should I say have a bloody good laugh..
Basically in scotland when you get depressed you were never expected to get well again...you basically have the become a "bum" route opened for you and everyone says "there he goes, he's totally f*cked" ..so you get to keep bad company..
I found light and many of here have..and were still standing ...slightly burned out...thinking "what now" I did'nt think I'd be fit enough to consider living again...
I can only say thanks to the USA for all the great meds and research...and a big thumbs down to my environment for not realizing how short sighted it is about so many facets of life.
