Thoughts are with you Jamie, Steph xx...
I chickened out telling the doctors :( Depression is in check just extremely snappy and the rest. I still have the same thoughts but feel less depressed now i am back at university. Some days are...
hey, I take 1000mg keppra a day so does not seem a lot. I only seizure now if i stay in strobes for a long time or if i drink far too much... learnt my lesson tbh. Glad you found something to help...
So going tomorrow to the doctors, gonna let them know. I missed a dose of epilepsy meds so have to go anyhow. Really nervous but nothing i can do about it. Will keep all updated....
Hi guys, I have partial epilepsy since last year :) I take meds and all but its nothing to be scared about. Just stick to what they tell you to do as I did not and have faced consequences for it. Its...
So having a bad day again, started last night when I had a massive rant at my boyfriend. Almost split us apart, but I have no feelings at the moment for anyone. Putting on a happy smile, pretending...
Make online friends :) I hardly speak to my friends until I am back at uni and have no friends back at home so I speak to online people. :)...
I was on 150mg not 750mg :P Thinking of Epilepsy meds.......
I dunno lol I either cannot remember my dose or you are missing something. The 2 people have heard it works well, where as I experienced it not working :( But give it a go, also if it makes you worse...
I was a learner driver and now not allowed to drive for 3 years I think it is now. Honestly tell your daughter its not only her life on the line it is anyone elses who is unlucky enough to be on the...
Hey Debbie, Yeah I get Auras, pins and needles in the head and I am out of it. I respond to questions but my mate describe it as, "sounding like your drunk" once I come round I have a headache, cant...
I have taking Sertaline. I took 750mg before they took me off it. I had the worst experience on it. Every month I had a review with my doctor and he was asking me how I was feeling, each time I told...
Hi Jamie thanks :) You cleared that up for me :) Do you take anti-depressants for Manic Depression? Just wondering cause if I turn up to have it I want to be careful mixing stuff with my...
Ok so I did a few online bi-polar tests today just so i know what to expect when I see the doctors... (quite hyper at the moment dont ask why I dunno) and it said i should see someone about help or...
It is a difficult situation, i would try and ring her and see if you done anything wrong. She may have her own problems. You have nothing to lose by asking. xx...
Hey, I was on Sertaline did that for me for a while. It is just side effects which should wear down. If they dont settle within a few weeks (be paintent) then see your doctor :)...
Hey guys, in the same boat but to have someone and friends. I normally give advice and do not follow it but here we go. Therapy doesnt work for everyone, didnt work for me and obviously not for you...
thanks guys, still depressed... just trying to think about reasons not to go. Just hard, and re-reading the posts i wrote down in the early hours of the morning has scared me a bit. Cheers for the...

Hi Ryan I am so sorry to hear what you have been through. I think the best bet is to talk to the school councillor or a teacher, they will probably forward on the case to social services but you do...
Hey Debbie, Strobes effect me but my EEG came back clear, i think they did not do it at a large enough time for me. I fitted at least once a month, I am a student so I broke most of the major...
I hope you husband gets better :) Remember stay strong. Steph xx...
I am sorry to read this and see that you are suffering. I know what its like to wanting to go, to stop everything and to let go, life is so much easier. Councillors do not work and it seems that they...

I really dont fancy going on any meds at the moment as I am on Keppra for Epilepsy but I may pop to my doctors and see if it is Mania. I tried giving him litereture but he kept saying; well thats...
I have a similar place list and I tend to write music myself depending on how I feel. There is a link to my lyrics on my main post on depression. At the moment I am stuck listening to: Gone With The...

I was wondering this as I was trying to explain to my boyfriend how I felt and I found it easier to post the lyrics to the songs I listened to. I find it hard to talk about my emotions and feelings...
I am glad you are getting better. :) I am hoping maybe I will be able to change but I guess you shown proof that it isnt the end. Thanks Brian x...
Hey Netball, remember you are not the only one who feels like that. I had an issue of not opening up and bottled it up since 13 until I was 18-19. So you did an excellent job by saying something. Be...

Go to the doctors and tell them about it. Mine started with my eyebrow twitching but is now worse. They blamed it on anxiety and stress even though I am chilled. Keep nagging them until they sort...
