Yeah it'll work out. Just can't seem to get away from it at the minute. The deaths, I mean. Cheers. My friend used to run a pub I used to work in. And we used to have shots of asbach brandy as toasts over various things. I've just had a shot myself in remembrance. Which has now set me off So sorry dude. That's a ton of tough shit to process you've had lately. For the grief you're experiencing, it won't necessarily get smaller and nor should it. They're your memories of people you've cared about and lost. But what will happen in time is you'll continue adding new memories with new experiences in your life. Those parts of you that are currently raw with that grief will progressively become relatively that bit smaller as part of your overall self. |

Hmmm. I know that mode. My wife has been in and out of that very same thing over the past year. I can't even help her, so don't know what to suggest  Perhaps in the short term it's what you need though. Who knows. Sometimes we don't listen to our bodies enough. |

Routine is really important for your mental health, as is some kind of physical activity everyday. Getting up in the morning and going out for a walk (or run) can be really helpful. It's the kind of thing you have to make a plan for and just do without thinking about it. Sleep and overthinking are the enemy

I just kept telling myself to watch out for the “going to bed in the afternoon” stuff, as I knew it could have become worse. |

Your brain is getting used to living without something it relied on for a long time. Not surprising if it wants to take more breaks than usual.

New doctor won’t give me benzos. Beta blockers are not a substitute for diazepam. Cunts.

I’ve decided to come off Fluoxetine after about six months. I think I was hoping there’s be some silver bullet that would kill all the negative thoughts I have, when in reality there’s no real cure for being a moody cunt. Honestly the whole thing has been like eating sugar pills that make it harder to come.
I think the fact is I’m neurodivergent and I need to learn to live with it, warts and all. I’ll probably hate myself until the day I die, but need to remember the part of me that hates me is a liar. It’s probably also the part of me that makes me eat KFC.

Acceptance can be liberating. Sometimes you find that you have depression about the fact you have depression. If you accept it that at least removes a layer.

Tried anything else in the past? I did try Sertraline, but really, really didn’t get on with it. Same here, seemed to give me every side effect going at first and then settled into persistent nausea and insomnia while doing nothing for my mood (actually worse for it what with the no food or sleep). |

I feel you but remember, and you probably already know this, alcohol isn't it the answer at this point even for the temporary relief it can give you.

Plus Danno, we're all here. You're never completely alone because you have us fucking cunts. Remember that. I know it's not the same as having people around, but we are here.

You may have noticed an uptick in my shitposting of late. Could maybe do with a few ER sessions or something w/ voice chat. I go days and days without saying more than 5 words out loud at times. |

Nothing wrong with shit posting. I do the same when I'm in a low mood. Helps me feel connected. I'm up for that man. The wife is out an evening or two this week. I'll check and let you know. I'm better earlier on as when it gets too late I'm not good at thinking about comms when I'm tired for silly reasons (all my insecurities come out basically) |

Don't fret about the insecurities, I'm riddled with 'em myself. Offering VC is weird for me but I'm quite adrift, so needs must |

I'll take you up on that VC some point this week Danno if you're about. Struggling this week myself. Feel like I'm about to fall into a great big dark well. Can't seem to get a grip.
