Depression and anxiety

[Hibernia&Alba]

Has Pontius Pilate been on lately? I hope he's doing well.

I overcame my fear of public transport and made it to the hospital i was discharged from Neurology as I have recovered well from my stroke, months earlier than predicted🙂 I then went into Cambridge City Market and got loads of produce, cheese and fruit lovely to catch up with the traders, been really tough for them. When i got to the hospital i found out it was a telephone appointment but as i worked there for years I was able to see the Doc. Anyway I am doing really well. I now intend to goo to the market once a week gloved, masked etc. A major improvement in my behaviour. Stay safe everyone

Oh and a Hibs win all good

How to cope with noisy neighbours? Think they are going to court and have had a final warning with the council but it’s playing havoc with my anxiety

We're in the same boat, it really is a nightmare.

Thanks, since my recent health issues I have felt so much better, kinda been a release from so much. Thanks to so many friends and family I feel so much happier. On the plus sidebI have lost over a stone in weight. Not the recommended method but ots all good.

What sort of situation is he in HH? Could he move? It’s no quality of life when you feel a prisoner in your own home.

[Mon Dieu4]

Just had a read back through this thread and can't believe it's almost 8 years old, as someone who I would describe as having sound mental health(if that's not a derogatory term to people who don't) and who lives his life without pretty much a care in the world I just want say a huge thank you for all the honesty from the posters on this thread, it's certainly helped me open my eyes to lots of things, I've had and do have people in my life who do have mental health issues and this thread has always been a welcome source of information and advice on how to help them or at least be more understanding of it

He doesn't want to move, she's the only problem he's had with neighbours in almost 40 years. She is absolute s**m of the earth.

Don't you have a few friends who could give her a visit while you and your dad are clearly visible in a pub somewhere?

Something i never did a few years back with a problem tennant.

All options are being considered.

I'm awaiting the results of a vitamin D3 test

A very interesting podcast really put a microscope on the impact of Vit D deficiency to everyday life. Basically we all have it in the UK but your score determines how much. Anything below 60 is deemed low according to a Dr that studies this but if you went to tour GP they'd be happy with most results above 25

Would explain A LOT in my case. Fatigue, chronic lower back pain, depression are all symptoms

We struggle with our Vitamin D levels here. Supplements are part of my routine in the darker months.

I've recently started taking Vitamin D supplements on recommendation from my GP.

I had a mole removed last year and after biopsy it turned out to be an early stage melanoma. Thankfully it was caught very early and is unlikely to present any issues going forward. I did have a full examination by a dermatologist though and I have over 100 moles and was advised to 'keep and eye on' 5.

I was told that from now on I have to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, use high factor sun cream for any exposure for even a short time and to eep covered up when in the sun.

Vitamin D deficiency is pretty rife in Scotland anyway so I asked my GP about it and he recommended taking about 30 micrograms a day. I can't say I've noticed a huge difference in how I feel but I'm planning on upping the dose slightly in the winter so I'll see how that goes.

Would it be an idea to pester them constantly until they take action?

Whats your dad done to piss this woman off so much?

I'd reckon it's unlikely that you would see much of a difference in the summer. With all the outdoors stuff that you do,you're probably getting plenty natural light. It's the darker months where supplements show their value.

I am on several drugs for several ailments and the latest blood test has flagged up very low potassium levels so I am now taking pills 💊 for that its not a massive threat but recommended by the doc so I take them. I will look into vit D but will need to check with my GP.
Lucky enough to be in Devon just now and there is plenty of sunshine. (With occasional storms)

30 micrograms is already six times the amount recommended to avoid deficiency, and bottles of 25-microgram tablets come with DO NOT EXCEED THE DOSE on them. Just sayin.

I think I’m now ready to put my thoughts down in writing having threatened to do so last year.

He's constantly in touch with them and the council, loads of buck passing going on.

Attempting to put a stop to her drug dealing seems to have upset her.

30 microgram is only around 1200 IU though aint it? The supplement i take is 1000IU and is the standard in supplement format (I think)

cannot recommend the podcast I listened to highly enough. It was a real eye opener for me
