.. for anyone who wishes to know. Finally went back to see a different doctor at my practice today and she was really good. I just sat down and said "I came to see Dr.___ a few months ago about not feeling very good and self-harming, but without meaning to be rude he made me uncomfortable" and she really listened to me. She's prescribed me 20mg cipramil a day and I've gotta go back in 3 weeks. She gave me info on the AICH counselling service and I've already contacted them. She says they'll prolly refer to a psychologist as I'm a bit of a risk to myself but to start there.Am really chuffed with myself and wanted to share. Also, cipramil? Any experiences? Thanks, Kirsty xXx

Me and it got on really well. it was the only one that actually made a difference, and that didn't make me into a total nutcase.
i only had one real side effect - i could sleep for england. i mean REALLY. and fall asleep absolutely anywhere.
Well done Kirsty. Really proud of you hunny
Thanks to you's I'm really proud of myself.
i sleep lots at the best of times, but i was literally sleeping 20 hours at day, some days. and i'd talk shit in my sleep, and as i was falling to sleep. heh. it wasn't bad. nice to get a rest and that.
good luck with everything. getting better is really, really worth it.
I had a mouth like the Sahara and was pretty drowsy for the first few weeks or so. Nothing major.
Take it easy.

Im not sure who can refer you to who but my shrink was the one that referred me to a psychologist. But my gp says that will take to long and put me back with my counseller.
Congrats with everything so far and don't forget to try to focus on what you've achieved and try not to panic if you hit a bad day. We all have them.
