Win an iPod touch!

For those that are keeping up with  my blog, you may have read about all of the frustrations that have cropped up recently, some of them are getting sorted, but some of them are well, shall we say ongoing. The flat is still falling to bits, but there is not a lot we can do about that. A computer was given to us by my girlfriend’s mum, so that is at least sorted out. The computer is my ultimate distraction method and as I have social anxiety, it is my lifeline really.

When I was younger, my older brother and I were very close. There was only a year and a half between us. I always looked up to him. Anything he did, I wanted to do. He looked out for me. His friends looked out for me.

I thought it might be helpful to share some of my experiences with medication, since I’ve been on several now and I am currently in the process of starting on a new one. Different antidepressants will work for different people, and will bring out different reactions and different side effects, so my experiences are by no means representative of how anyone else’s will be. But whenever one of these drugs has had a weird effect on me I have found it comforting to read other peoples experiences and find out that I’m not alone.
