Hi there,

My name is Danny im 26 and come from Warrington, Cheshire,  and iv just registered here. Ive been suffering with mental health problems for as long as i can remember to be honest. I suffer with Cyclothymia and Social Anxiety Disorder.

I hope i get to know some of you and hope that i can help and get help with my depressive episodes from your experiences on here.  :)

I was on various different anti-depressants (ssri's snri's tca's) for the best part of 8 years and ive not long came off all medication  :-\ so its all a little new for me.

I hope i get to know you all and have a few laughs on the way :)

thank you for your warm welcome :)

ive been off my medication for 3 weeks and to be honest... the first week was a nightmare but once you get past that hell week, it gets easier everyday :)

not mush left of the withdrawal now, just got to get used to "feeling" things again and trying to manage my moods, all in all its looking up :)

Hi Depina - I'm ok thankyou, having a bit of a low day and feeling completley overwhelmed by everything (even though another part of my mind is asking me what, exactly, is overwhelming!  :-\) Just feeling a bit low and tearful and like I need a big hug! I'm hoping this will pass though... I can kind of put it down to withdrawal of the Venlafaxine I have been on for ages - every time feels like a huge backwards leap though!!

How are you? I hope you had a good weekend and are managing to relax and take 'time out'  :)

Hi and welcome!

I know what you mean about the withdrawal, I came off Venlafaxine a week and a half ago which has been "interesting" and I never want to go through it again.

This place is great and now you have a lot of new people to look out for you  ;D
