Done.

I think all the above partially answer the original question poor @mick brown kicked this all off with. The current situation is worry enough for people who don't particularly have issues, but for those already struggling a bit, who possibly have coping mechanisms that involve getting out of the house and excercise, or for a chat with friends, for those prone to anxiety, for those in any type of abusive relationship ............. it's a huge concern.

I'm a bit wary of saying this .......... but if it helps, I got raped age 13. I remembered it clearly and did manage to come to terms with it, eventually. I'm well aware that I would have been different had it not happened though. I sometimes dare to think it made me a better person in the long run. Still went through many, many years of 'self'medicating' though.

glad you made it through

@Mawsley no need to apologise, what you said put perspective into why some people are not handling lockdown / life.

For years I felt like spray painting my mom's now ex's house with "paedo" and leaving the local community to deal with him.

Only time in my life I felt safe was when I moved up here.

A few weeks ago, could be a few more than that now, who knows, but it's the first time in years I had thought about ending it and sat here counting my meds, working out which order to take them in so I wouldn't end up throwing them up.

I think it's good to get this stuff talked about, especially during times like these. Makes people feel less alone, I hope.

I'm scarily self-sufficient, I tend to cope with 'stuff' on my own (with varying degrees of success), and as I said earlier I don't have family to worry about, so the virus itself doesn't scare me. But a fair bit of the crap that's come with it has managed to knock me off-kilter. This too shall pass, hopefully.

Fucking hella derail on this thread.

Well done POTV. Well the fuck done.

Sorry, that's my fault. Someone mentioned MH problems and I've always wondered.

Again sorry for bringing it up [emoji53]

Don't be shy mate, call me a twat for bringing it up if you want. I wasn't trying to be nasty just genuinely trying to understand.

No, don't be. I saw it as a genuine question, which I'm sure was how you intended it. We're all made up differently, nobody's 'right'. And on several levels I agreed with you.

And by God it got you some answers .................
