Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

I just bought a Nike cropped jumper with a mesh back and another exercise tights on Ebay. I really should stop spending but you inspired me to shop the other day with your jewellery buying. Onlne buying is all I can do these days. Its not fun, but the wait for parcels are!!

I feel like talking in an accent. I once studied occupational therapy but didn't finish it. I decided I needed more money so I've been working.
Been tempted to write a book about my experiences with mental health and being locked up in psych wards but I'm scared I'll get sued.
They've sued someone before for defamation.
I just think the awareness and truth should be better known and out there.
Shopping's good! A reward to yourself. I like what you bought.
Maybe if I can get some money behind me I'll be in a better space to study.

Hallo, hallo (accent too) lol,
I thought about OT once too. They make really good money - that was the only reason, it's not my passion. My passion is within the criminal justice sector. If you've already been exposed to the study in this field and it's something you want to continue with, why not? But I also understand the financial side of life. I sooo understand. It's hard to do both.
I would buy your book if you wrote one. I'll be your biggest fan!! It would be an interesting but heartfelt read. Defamation falls under common law (judge-made law ie: within the courts) and in the case of writing about someone used to be called libel - however, the laws of libel and slander (speech) in Australia are now uniform. Therefore, defamation occurs when the published material (book) has a negative impact on the reputation of the organistion/ individual, and the statements are not substantiated by facts (untrue). In your case, what you wish to write about is based on your lived-experiences, something you've felt - these wouldn't be untrue or defamatory unless what's been written is indeed untrue.
Yes, shop, shop, shop till your hearts content or what your budget allows. Its such a woman thing to shop. Thanks, Monkey, I liked what I bought - I live in active wear, they're really comfy and I haven't had the chance to dress up to go any where lately. 😞
Blubes.

How are you feeling without the meds or without the high dose?
How does it make you feel?

Overall I feel better. My side effects have been brutal so any minimisation in them is a positive.
I'm less foggy, less headachey, less shaky. I'm experiencing some weird period after 6 mnths of nothing. It's coming and going...
Once this is all out of my system I will never take a psych drug for the rest of my life. And hopefully they stop unecessary forced drugging.
I've suffered with harsh side effects for two years too long 😭

Hi Monkey,
Great to hear that the side effects of fogginess, headaches, and shakiness have subsided. Not good about the strange period - the med would do that. Remember I told you that I missed mine that month. I hope that you won't relapse so that you wouldn't be forced to take any more psych drugs for the rest of your life.
I had a chicken fillet with salad and honey mustard dressing subway for lunch today. It was ok. Normally I do love it, but my appetite hasn't been too crash hot and everything tastes like ... erm, just ok. Been down about the surreptitious drugging, the threat of taking me to hospital and shoving pills down my throat, the humiliation of s&m question, and damages to my property. My eyes hurt from constant crying each night. I try to just deal with it.
Anyway, hope you're having a good day so far.
Love Blubes

Hi girls
I'm glad you're seeing some improvements with things monkey but yeah the period thing is weird.
Onwards and upwards I hope!
Dear Blubes... I'm sorry you're crying every night. I'm crying so much that I've got a hellish headache now.
I wish you could get rid of the repeating thoughts... it sounds like PTSD to me... but I'm not a psych. It just does.
Where are you mocha?? Hope you're doing okay?
I'm living in a nightmare I wish I could wake up out of.. hate it. It's disgusting and getting worse as I predicted. I'll have to say more on my thread.
Disgusting people disguising themselves as "Christians" my post will have to come with a Trigger Warning for forced drugging. GRRR. If I can disclose as much. NB: They are NOTHING to do with my Church or my personal life. Just what son has got himself vacuumed into.
I had to block a person who got hold of my number today.
So here we freaking go again.
Many Blessings of peace to you all
EM

I cried a lot through my ordeal but now that it's over I'm ok.
Do U know what will help you move past it Blubes?
I'll check out your thread Ems.
Been doing some cleaning and organising today. Feels good to declutter.
