Songbird_nz: Hey guys... just a bit of an update on me and my mental health. I went and saw my doctor today and she is concerned about me and thinks my mental health deteriorated significantly. So, just to let you know that I'm going back on antidepressants and antipsychotics for the time being to see if I improve. Also, she has written me a letter to my employer recommending that I do my day shifts as opposed to evening shifts to help me improve my sleep patterns. I just wanted to let you know in case things get super weird and I just want to apologise for being such a burden. I love you all and think you're all great and I don't want anyone to feel like I can be such a burden. I'm so sorry!

BugHug: I am so glad you went to your doctor and that your doctor acted on this. When it comes to mental illness (as opposed to physical), it's often missed or passed over. I really hope your meds work for you Songy. You deserve a life where you aren't struggling every day.

BugHug in reply to Songbird_nz: You have not been a burden to me at all Songy. I was going through some shit of my own and wasn't open to "hearing" your struggles. It was on me. I am very sorry.

BugHug in reply to Songbird_nz: Songy- I hope your therapist (I hope you have one!) tells you right away that feeling bad for expressing your sorrow, anxiety, depression is nothing to feel ashamed of and therefore apologies are not needed. That is just you being hard on yourself for needing help. No more apologies! When you are strong, sing .
