  • This looks promising, thanks! by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 4:02pm)
  • Sounds great, thank you! by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 4:24pm)
  • my experience with people who sound like you is that they are sociopaths incapable of empathy and get a kick out of trying to put others down with having 0 knowledge of the actual situation. jumping to conclusions and judgement, what an excellent and appealing quality to possess! by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 4:23pm)
  • Thank you. These comments are a big help. by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 9:49pm)
  • Thanks for the comment. I'm glad it worked out for you. For me everything takes months at a time. I was referred but they refused to see me at first, then another doctor referred me again and wouldn't take no for an answer, so i finally got to see a psychiatry SpR after waiting 2 months, who has done nothing for me at all but put me on medications. I have tried beta blockers, fluoxetine, venlafaxine and sertraline, all at different dosages. Getting the right medication is a long process of trial and error, of which it's taking a long time for me. This is partly due to their negligence in acknowledging existing issues i have and have had for a long time, that would help me get to some kind of diagnosis in order to give me the exact help i need. The clinic i am registered to has appalling reviews and for good reason, though i have experienced the same elsewhere in the UK. It's aggravating that i can't go to a different one due to them being postcode specific. I appreciate medication for what it can potentially do, but i need more help than just that, of which they have not given me at all. It's this among many, many other things over the past months here and 6 years overall attempting to seek help, that have left me with no faith in these NHS services. I am no better now than i was when I first started seeking help and it takes a big toll. I would love if medication was the answer, if only it were that simple for everyone! by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 9:48pm)
  • I'm not asking people to counsel me. I'm asking for recommendations to seek help for myself. I am not a Glasgow native, so it makes sense for me to ask, especially from people with similar experiences. Places like reddit are some of the easiest and quickest places to aquire this kind of information. I got answers in minutes and am now looking into getting the help i need. Nothing bad about that but people with your attitude. I don't have time to be embarrassed into killing myself. by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 10:01pm)
  • Seems you're one of those people who are part of the problem, m8. Always of the opinion that people are making issues up and self diagnosing. I understand there are some people who might exaggerate things in order to reap benefits, but most people like myself are just desperate to live a normal life, to the point i would gladly get in debt to get there. It is not fun having mental health issues and it's embarrassing to say the least, so the last thing people want is attention or to have something to moan about - they just want some clarity and normality. You breed the toxic view that gets people no help and leads them to ending their lives, which is a truly cunty way to live. Could easily argue that you're the moaner taking a look at your comment history lol. Thankfully I've had some actually decent people comment the tips and info i was asking for in the first place. Enjoy your life sticking to being a spiteful prick, I'm sure it makes you very happy, especially if you are a sociopath. by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 10:21pm)
  • Yeah I've had that experience before. However I have still had them not interested at all even when suicidal. Weeks ago my partner called up my mental health clinic who told us to call them in crisis. They said to call an ambulance if i did anything and said they could do nothing else. I brought this up at an appointment recently and my psychiatrist had nothing to say to it. I also broke down and explained that i was scared of doing it to myself, how i would do it, how easy it would be, and his answer was 'well you have your partner'. I have a history of suicide attempts and self harm, which is still a current issue, yet i have had no treatment for any of this but medications. I was hoping on a referral to a therapy group and waited for 1.5 months, calling the clinic in between to check on the progress, which they said they had no idea about. Then on my recent visit they said the group no longer exists and failed to inform me, which was a huge blow, especially as they offered no other treatment and quickly ushered me out of my appointment that lasted a mere 10 minutes. That is just not how you treat someone who already feels extremely hopeless. I simply want to better understand my issues and how to cope with them in order to live a normal life, but they're unable to provide me with it, hence my need to seek it elsewhere, even if it's trial and error with private and it puts me into debt. I'm not giving up on myself. Sad thing is, mother who isn't aware of the suicide or self harm aspects of my illness even told me to pretend that i was suicidal in order for them to take me seriously. If only things were that easy. by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 10:43pm)
  • No you're totally right and I've been looking into getting a bike for this exact reason! Thanks. by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 10:46pm)
  • Try tell that to people who have had traumatic childhoods, people with ptsd, and those who have attempted suicide. Your attitude is inhuman. You sound like Trump... by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 10:50pm)
  • Yeah i know a lot of people who've been traumatised by crisis teams and have taken to crowd funding to pay for private care. I do what i can to help myself, I'm a firm believer in that. In this society we're set up to fail and no matter what system, they don't give a shit if you're dead or alive, unless they get caught out on it. Part of my willingness to live is to say fuck you to the bougie bastards that want those of us who aren't being ultra-productive puppets, dead. by new_speecies (Wed 5th Jun 2019 10:55pm)
  • Appreciate you sharing. Really feel you, especially with no one seeming to know what to do or even care about helping figure shit out. I've been told I 'could' have so many different things over the years, but if you don't solidly meet criteria then you've no chance of a diagnosis to get the proper help you need. Instead it's just all up in the air and you're no less better off or understanding of anything than you ever were. And thing is, if you bother to figure out things out for yourself, if you educate yourself and make suggestions or query things, they act like you're making shit up, like you're self-diagnosing for attention or meds. People just want fucking answers so they can get the specialised help to move on with their lives, cos when your life is taken over by mental illness, you don't live properly. The longer it goes on and they more they fuck you about, the more life goes by and you're wasting away whilst you see others living around you. It's so frustrating you really do get to your wits end and this is why so many people see suicide as an option in the first place. The people you're supposed go to for help and support do nothing for you and you carry on barely living, running out of options but the one that seems easiest, yet is the worst. Wish you luck too pal, it's a tough fight to win, but i don't wanna give in, i hope you're the same. by new_speecies (Thu 6th Jun 2019 3:36am)

  • Thank you for your kindness. by new_speecies (Fri 7th Jun 2019 6:08am)
  • Ok thanks, will give it a try! by new_speecies (Sat 16th May 2020 3:12pm)
  • i try but she's a dirty bitch wot don't listen 2 NO1. by new_speecies (Sat 16th May 2020 3:11pm)
  • Thanks for this. I rent but just obtained a copy of the deeds which state that the entire yard is shared between all three closes. Other than my landlord, who can i report this to? It's going to be a pain for the bin collection having to go through 2 closes, i know that for sure. by new_speecies (Wed 1st Jul 2020 3:44pm)
  • I call it that because it's too much of a shithole to be considered a garden lmao by new_speecies (Wed 1st Jul 2020 4:42pm)
  • 👉😉👉 by new_speecies (Wed 1st Jul 2020 5:12pm)
  • [done ye 1 shitter](https://imgur.com/a/0DA9Orx) will see what landlord says, am too wuss to shout over 😀 by new_speecies (Wed 1st Jul 2020 7:15pm)
  • Hey, it was already built by the time I'd seen it, my pal filled me in on what he saw going on, I've only seen 2 people out there I don't know, I'm not gonna nosy out the window of my stairwell for however long just to catch 1 of you so i can run down and try shout you over the big ol' fence - doubt that'd be a great way of communicating eh? That's no excuse mind. Thing is i could see things getting funny knowing how it is trying to talk about things like this with neighbours, people get agro quick and that ain't me mate. I'm just wanting to know where things officially stand, cos making sure it's ok with everyone in your own close doesn't make it alright with everyone in the other 2 closes who share the same garden. No one owns either half, it's a shared boundary on the deeds and not everyone is happy with it. I never started this post to chat shit about you, I just wanted to know where things stand and what can be done without causing a shitstorm, especially cos its already been built. I appreciate the grafting, it's nice what you're doing, just wasn't expecting a big fence totally cutting us off and chopping down the tree the birds were always hangin about on, as dead as it was. Would have been nice if everyone else was informed and had their voice heard, rather than coming back to a fence put up out of nowhere? Can you see where i'm coming from? I get the other side isn't so nice to look at and you were probs thinking that side was 'ours', but if you take a look at all the other shared back gardens, they're all one space. Makes bin collection a whole lot easier as well. Dunno what was going through the mind of the fanny that put the shoddy pickets up around the bins however long ago, but that illusion of a split garden is wrong and now the 2 closes on our side are left with a wee space with no trees, no place to lock anything up, can't see the birds - just bins. I get you put hard work into that side, it looks crackin, but we're not all able to physically and financially sort out the garden and it feels even more crappy and isolating with this fence up. As i said, never started this post to chat shite, i'm not in control of what other people say, was just here for advice. Take it however you want to though. by new_speecies (Wed 1st Jul 2020 9:29pm)
  • fok sake, avin me off for a rite wetwipe u are lmfao by new_speecies (Wed 1st Jul 2020 9:39pm)
  • To be fair they did it up nice on their own so they could have a nice outdoor space as u say, but i think there's been a misconstrued 'our side and your side' mentality going on, so the side where my close's door is is full of gravel and weeds and hasn't been touched. Never expected them to sort it cos they've put their own time and money into what they have done so far, but the fence was just a bit of a shock and unnecessary/unfair innit. by new_speecies (Wed 1st Jul 2020 9:38pm)
  • Makes sense! I think my use of 'yard' has mostly come from 'courtyard'. by new_speecies (Fri 3rd Jul 2020 10:48am)
