im not very good at this. howevere im at a point in my life that where I have to learn to do things for myself. I was diagnosed with mild depression coming to the end of the Covid lockdown last year. I was taking medication and seeing a GP, then after a while I felt that I didnt need any of there help. As in stopping the medication I was on and stopping seeing my GP. however over the past year I continually find that I uncontrolably start talking to myself about things that are going on around me which initally made me upset but would then feel fine after contuning playing it out in my head. Moreover In the recent days I feel foggy and I dont understand how I come up with these onesided conversations of self harm in public which inturn makes me feel excited as im for the most part emotionally flat.

looking for suggestions on a course of action

thanks

Hi Bob

I’m really sorry that you’re not feeling quite right at the moment and glad that you’ve reached out.

I’m not a doctor but agree with you that the “one sided conversations about self harm in public” and foggy feeling warrant some exploration.

I’d like to encourage you to pop in and see your GP to discuss how you are feeling. I would book a double appointment so you’re not rushed.

How do you feel about doing that?

Kind thoughts to you

Hi bob01, welcome.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way, but you should never go off meds without a professional's guidance. We're not professionals here.

As Summer Rose said, please see a professional and/or talk to a helpline, as this forum is supportive, but not immediate, and they would be better discussing what you're going through.
