The connection between not eating and my mood

The thing that helped least was being told it was probably the medication, before anybody had looked at anything else in my life.

I would say plainly that if things have got dark, this is a thread to leave and a person to ring. We are company and we are not the right help for that.

Mine improved over about five months, alongside sleep improving, and I genuinely cannot separate the two.

What helped was telling one person honestly rather than four people partially. The partial versions were exhausting and got me nothing.

Something worth knowing: my appetite change and my mood change moved together and it took a long time to work out which was leading.

My other medication needed reviewing and a pharmacist spotted something two doctors had not. Do have the interactions conversation properly.

I would have written the same thing a year ago, word for word.

I found it useful to separate what I could raise with a prescriber from what belonged in therapy, because I had been taking everything to the wrong door.

My experience is that this is discussed far too little and I am grateful this circle exists rather than it being folded into a general one.

Somebody here said that a hard week does not need a cause to be legitimate, and I have carried that around for two years.

I have read this twice now. Thank you for writing it.

What I found was that being honest here was a rehearsal for being honest at my appointment, and the rehearsal genuinely helped.
