fuck you, BBC, fuck you

you know, for most of this article, you do a pretty good job of describing the ways in which prescribing self-help books on the NHS might be useful for people with mild to moderate depression

... IT'S A PITY YOU LEAVE OUT THE MILD TO MODERATE, ISN'T IT

AND INSTEAD

END

ON A FUCKING SELF-CONGRATULATORY BULLSHIT MESSAGE OF "PEOPLE SHOULD BOOTSTRAP THEMSELVES OUT OF DEPRESSION"

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

I was diagnosed with severe depression when I was 21. I had been in and out of counselling since I was 15. And you think it's appropriate to suggest I need to "make an effort" to get better?

Don't you fucking dare tell me I should have been able to ~think myself happy~. Don't. You. Dare.

Oh, luteal phase. Oh, progesterone uptick. Oh, depressive downswing.

How I didn't miss you.

Medication review tomorrow, at which I will also get results of LEAST COMPETENT BLOOD SAMPLE EVAR. In general, the citalopram seems to be mostly doing a reasonable job of bringing my background mood up to "cheerful"; unfortunately 20mg doesn't seem to be enough when lolprogesterone. Unfortunately more than 20mg per day is contraindicated by the fact that I'm taking 20mg of omeprazole a day. Unfortunately I can't stop taking the omeprazole because of my long-term painkillers. Unfortunately, the citalopram might be making the painkillers less effective.

...

... on the plus side, I've just finished Braid, a game with a delightful time-travel mechanic and a REALLY OBNOXIOUS PLAYER CHARACTER. Luckily, you can mostly ignore the back story. (And I only cheated on two puzzles!)

(Other things I have played recently and heartily recommend apart from inevitable heterocentrism: Machinarium, an adorable steampunk point-and-click.)
