Depression

[Carriemunky]

Can I post questions about depression here?

20 suicide attempts? would they not consider sectioning him?

A big part of me sympathises with all you have to cope with carrie, it must truly be horrendous & I'm sorry you & your husband have not found the right help - which should be out there.
But this is the 2nd thread this morning where you have been quite rude to people who have only been trying to help. You say there;'s no wonder you have such an attitude - but you are not the only one who has suffered/does suffer, but most people at least maintain politeness unless they are truly being 'got at'. I have seen or read no comment on this thread, or the quiz thread this morning, which was abusive or rude to you.
Maybe you & your husband have had it rough - you will find sympathy on here, but you're not the only ones and a little politeness & gratitude goes a long way. I can't blame you for being on the defensive side, but no need to be so defensive & snappy right from the outset that people back off.

Being like what?
This thread must be a wind-up.

I am not sure what 123everton meanS. Does he suggest I am making this up. Do you not understand what goes on in communities

[Bbbananas]

I'm beginning to suspect such myself a-view.

[another-view]

This thread is obviously a wind up.

[Carriemunky]

anotherview, I told you we are getting medical help but it is not working. I am just used to people not understanding how bad it is for my husband on a daily basis

[another-view]

I've just seen this thread.

This person is deliberately trying to wind people up.

[ummmm]

It does sound like he should be sectioned.

[Carriemunky]

If you are being serious 123 then this is the kind of help I am looking for. I am not looking for anyone to cure him, I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction. I didn't ask to be judged.

[Carriemunky]

tamborine do you mean alcoholics anonymous

[123everton]

There are plenty of mental health organisations and charities who will support you, you must know their names and numbers as your G.P will have referred you.
In the meantime I suggest you use plastic cutlery, paper plates and cups, I have better things to expend my energy on than wind up merchants like you.

[Carriemunky]

I am seriously not winding you up.

[sara3]

well at least you have plenty of good advice to be considering. all the best!

[Carriemunky]

sorry sallabananas i am a bit touchy this morning. not trying to wind anyone up. sorry to anyone I have offended, I am just having a rough time of it

[Carriemunky]

we have tried to section him but his social worker tells him that they would just play about with his medication

[another-view]

Well in that case, I suggest you tone down your attitude. No wonder no-one will help you.

[tamborine]

"Play about with medication" they are professional ppl - social workers are down the scale in comparison! Get that social worker sacked!

[Carriemunky]

I'm sorry anotherview. I'm really struggling here. I am just asking for help. Just used to people ignoring us or not believing us or just treating us like scum.

[ummmm]

20 suicide attempts? He needs to be sectioned. Yes, they will mess about with his medication....until they get it right. It's obviously not working at the moment.
