Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 19.01.26
A lot has been piling up and it’s really stressing me out including family issues work wages long term unemployment and constant setbacks. I just want to get the wage issue sorted. I’m currently working the job I started before Christmas and I’ve emailed the company directly as it’s a domestic cleaning company rather than the store itself so I’m hoping they can resolve it. I was dizzy yesterday which I think was due to stress and lack of sleep after only managing around five to six hours and it worried me because my mind went straight to worst case scenarios like something serious that could affect my driving licence which is really important to me. I do get dizziness from time to time and have experienced this before including just before Christmas and it usually settles on its own coming and going every few months and easing when things calm down so I’m hoping it’s stress and sleep related again but it’s still scary and feels like the last thing I need right now. People keep fucking exaggerating it too which doesn't help.
Life update
Work
I left my work as the manager was a bully and was always nasty with me to the point on the last day he made me cry and that was just a 4 hours shift. I started 29th November 2025 and left a couple of weeks ago.
Injury/ medical
So some will be aware that I had to stop aerial hoop due to my back which i did and the doctor found out I have arthritis in my back and fluid in the back of my knees. I went back this week and it was a big mistake because I’m in agony now and pain medication isn’t helping me one bit
Insomnia
My insomnia is bad again and it’s made sleeping so bad and I lay awake 11:30pm to 2/3 am so it has left me absolutely exhausted and I’m waking up to constant headaches so today I contacted my GP about it and it was absolutely useless tbh, I’ve been told to take my anxiety meds at night which how is that gonna help other than it’s gonna make me feel on clouds. So every night I have to take propanol which I can’t function on 💀

Re: My journey
Hey again @Redemption, it sounds like you have some good ideas of what you could do in the future. I can hear how your passion involves cars, is that something that could help you to deal with everything you're experiencing?
Yh it can like motivation to get a nicer car and all that @Callum
Re: TW suicidal thoughts Lingering anti-depressant effects & nothing feels real
I’ve been given the option to try an anti-depressant again. I can take either an antidepressant or low dose anti-psychotic. I’m concerned if I try it I will make my problems worse, hinder the potential to recover from these problems, or I end up in hospital again… I just wish I didn’t take the anti depressant in the first place, I probably didn’t need it now I’ve got lasting problems
. They said it’s very rare after the equivalent of one pill, and because I took it for a short time I hope I can recover from the problems it’s caused. Although it could take months years or indefinitely they said, which isn’t a nice thought. I practically just want to sit and wait until it all comes back. :< as soon as I see a sign of recovering from this body stuff I will be so relieved. Given how bad my reaction was they are hoping I can start off on a really low dose, could be one liquid drop and work up.
