Open Season

Right. Let's make this clear, I'm laying myself open to some of the
worst possible crap that a person can take on this group. I don't
care. I've been through it, and there's nothing - and I mean NOTHING
- that you CUNTS can say that can possibly make me feel any worse than
I feel right now. Porl? Drop dead, and I mean that in a nice way.

I've been on Fluoxetine (Prozac) for the past 3 months. I haven't
attempted suicide, but I have given the matter some degree of
consideration - let's face it, on a bike it's only a twitch of the
bars, not a major operation. My relationship has gone down the pan
recently, although I saw it coming - we just weren't compatible
long-term. My job pisses me off, for reasons that would get me a P45
if I made them public. I just can't handle the shit that's going on
right now, it would take me ages to post it all and most of you would
killfile me anyway, deservedly so as it's nothing really compared to
some of the stuff I've read here over the past 5 years or so. Yes,
I'm pissed right now, I'll feel a lot worse in the morning but that
will go away. I don't care. **** it. **** you all. I've had
enough, and I'm going to do something someone will regret. Hopefully
not me. Let's see where we end up.

 

Was prescribed this shit myself a few years ago(wifey had miscarriage
after years of trying, life/work generally shit, felt everything on top of
me)


I choose not to go down that line and to just sort my head out away from
work etc.


I was told by one email

"you see life in small slices, you really don't know what the future
slices have to offer, they may be shit but they may also be cake."

We now have a beautiful daughter and work may very well be one the up,
(awaiting interview but work generally a shit loads better since I told
them I wouldn't deal with the shit again)

You just don't know what life has in its bountiful basket to throw at you.
Keep your chin up and remember we tend to have very short term views of
life, tomorrow is always another day

try to stop thinking so neg and get out there and enjoy life, even if it
fucks up your finanaces. Go and fulfil your dreams, you can always pay it
back or at worst, go bankrupt! )

Sounds like you are on the wrong pill. Three months after being on
antidepressants I was skipping down the road playing with the sunbeams
and being nice to dogs, children and old ladies.

Mind you 18 months after that I was on a slab having a quad bypass so it
wasn't all good.

See you are feeling better all ready.

 

I already regret reading this far, if that's any help.

 

You just need a fucking good kick up the arse, not the mealy mouthed
touchy feely shite I've just seen.
Fucking get on with it, life does not owe you a favour. I'm tempted to
use the only good quote I've ever seen from those tossers over the
water, the merkins. "life is not a practice run".

 

BTDT.
You want to give up all the drugs, including caffeine and alcohol,
and take up a sport. It doesn't matter which sport, as long as it's
judged on skill and fitness rather than style. That will make a man
of you and stop all this maudlin crap.
Mens sana in corpore sano etc.

 

Go see your doctor ASAP and

CHANGE YOUR FUCKING MEDS.

They aren't working.

Can I have your Bandit?

 

While working at the Samaritans for several years it was decided that
motorcycle was a good form of suicide (Life insurance was likely to
pay out still and stuff like that) but quite unreliable. I spoke to
one gent who tried to find a soft tree to dent who didn't snuff it, as
expected but now is unable to move so can't even throw himself off a
bridge and can't get to the medicine cabinet either, or stick his head
in the oven or other traditional ways (I would avoid gassing yourself
as the house is likely to go boom along with anyone near it too) but
I'd take a long look at your current situation before you make any
firm decisions.

I have suffered from bipolarity for many years and don't wish to make
the assumption that you do the same. I will make the assumption that
your life works in slices and that you're not seeing into the distant
future and that troubles at home, money and suchlike are issues. If
part of the problem is money related then contact www.payplan.com and
they'll manage your debts for you. If home is a problem then impose
upon a fellow UKRMer for a week or two and just dissapear. Give your
rellies a call if you want to, just so they know where you are
otherwise you'll have your visage stuffed in the local papers and when
you're back again everyone will think you're a freak.

Also: Life is shit, but does have less shit moments but you've got
blinkers on at the moment.

I assume you've got the Sams number handy anyway, but 08457 90 90 90
is there 24/7 - ask them to call you back if you want.

Perhaps you just need a good screw in addition to some of the above
options?

 

What's a 28 day section like these days?

Mind you, if he goes voluntarily he'll just have a freebie holiday.

Anyone know if Darren's phone number still ends in 9036?

 

Well you will be pleased to know he is still alive- very hungover,and
not remembering much, but still with us...

 

SNIP!

Fluoxetine/ Prozac works well for many but some people don't get on well
when taking it and may actually feel worse. Get urgent medical advice NOW
and don't hide how bad you feel when talking to the medics. Don't drink
alcohol, it will definitely make things worse. Don't assume that your
current situation is your own fault. Endogenous depression is an illness
NOT a choice - it is a treatable illness. The current treatment isn't
working so go back and INSIST on an alternative. Whilst you may need
medication (NOT your current meds) for a while, you could also consider
trying to get some cognitive behavioural therapy, which can be very
effective in helping to develop longer-term strategies.

 

I find tennants super in large quantitys works for any illness, be it
back ack, broken legs or depression! give it a go, ever seen a local
wino who gives a shit?

 

Gosh, you're a really funny guy.

Did you think that up all on your own?

 

....has anyone heard from him since )

 

And that has to be framed as a truly sensible and helpful reply. (Not that
some of the others weren't, but it says it neatly.)

Ali

 

That's likely to be the correct answer, but you also forgot the short
term benefits of having a good old anonymous screw.

 

oi you old tart, give me a buzz on MSN at some point, haven't had a
natter for ages

 

Darren- mate of all the offers of help you have received, I think
turning gay isn't the answer
