Depression is a downward spiralling series of psychological thinking traps that lead you further down the line and begin to depress you even more. You begin to listen more to your own interior dialogue which seems to constantly throw negative suggestions at you. This has developed from your own consistent negative experiences which in turn have made you believe that there is so much negativity in the world that you have trained yourself to think in a negative way. You may then belive that you are thinking too much or that your mind is going into overtime which leads you into becoming even further depressed. Of course there is a lot more depression than just this and ...  Read the complete review

For many years, I locked myself away from the world. Not going out unless I really had to. Avoiding crowds. Cleaning my home like someone with a curse over them. I knew something was wrong with me, but I had no idea what. I would wake up in the morning, and wash myself vigorasly. I would wake my daughter, make her bath thoroughly, and strip down her bed, clean her room, and wash every item of clothing that was lying around. My daughter grew up thinking this was the normal way to do housework. Everything in my home had to have a place, a time to do certain things, but everything also had to be done in a certain way. Why did I do this?Because I was ...  Read the complete review

It started after I bought a brand new car in March 2004, which was a Seat Codoba SE TDI which I saved up for since starting work in September 1999.

At the time I did not know I had asperger syndrome, I felt I was put under pressure and got anxieties over it, and ended up closing a deal over the phone but was not ...  Read the complete review

I have been suffering from depression for over a year now and have been taking Cipramil (anti-depressants) since November 2002. I have written long, detailed opinions about both self-harm and the use of Cipramil already, but this opinion is specifically about those of us who are improving and aren’t quite so reliant on tablets. Cipramil has been a godsend to me and has really helped me climb out of the dark depths and head towards the light. I had been feeling much better, more confident, more able to do things around the house and to confront my fears. My GP seemed pleased with my progress and I was back on a daily 20mg dose again, after a while of 30mg. ...  Read the complete review

Not sure if this is in the right section but wasnt sure where else i could put it. This review is written to hopefully give people an insight into living with amnesia and to help people appreciate what they have, because I didn’t realise what I had until it was gone. What was gone? My past, my history, my life as I knew it. For those of you that have read my review on meningitis will know why this happened. But for those of you who haven’t 3 yrs ago I contracted meningitis and spent a week in a coma. On coming out of the coma it is believed that I had lost a full 10yrs. I didn’t know I had been married (and ...  Read the complete review
