Nice tips going to try some more me time & cutting things out, usually love xmas time but with uni&work, being away from home this year and everything else that’s going on I’m under crazy stress and having no time for myself at all .. Wishing u a happy Christmas x

Ah thankyou! That’s really helpful, fluoxetine is the one I’ve been prescribed but all the dr said was ‘it might make you worse for a bit, it might not come back in a few weeks’ and that was it brushed off for me to deal with myself ... I’m on the waiting list to see someone more expert but it’s a long waiting list! I’ll check out the places you suggested, thanks

Hi, I’m new to all of this so not really sure how to put all of this together haha. I have recently been told I have OCD and I’m on a long waiting list to be seen by a mental health service & have also been given a prescription for tablets that I am reluctant to take(wasn’t given much info about them). Nothing has really been explained to me in any kind of simple terms it’s all been very medical and I’ve been left confused and pretty lost. Just wondering if anyone could help to explain what sort of things to expect from your first psychology/therapy appointments, any information / websites that might be good to look at? Or even any where I might be able to get support from online whilst waiting, bit scared to google as I know the internet will say 1000 different things and I don’t want to become even more confused. Thankyou x
