Idk i'm in a space where i feel like i'm taking positive steps personally though still feel the pressing of anger and frustration towards the world we're living in, what our government stands for, the backwards nature For context I've had diagnosed depression for 6 years (medicated)
in my feelings over systems, leaving placement & looking for a job

I don't really like descriptions because i'm like, here, have my words and let it be subjective, experience them how you feel. I think that's also why i don't love doing into's to videos, i'm uncomfortable with intro's, they can feel inauthentic when i'm bursting to express and i assume my (undiagnosed) ADHD, neurodiversity, come into play with giving context and where to start. I have a lot of...

Have been binge watching your videos over the past week and I want to say I do love you and I hope you make it past whatever struggles you are currently going through ❤. What your going through is %100 valid and understandable I do know how hard it is when it seems like your the only person you have but your videos have brought a sense of comfort and made me less lonely through my struggles and life. XO❤
🥺🥹thank you this is such a beautiful comment, your words mean a lot ❤️
Hey Talitha! Are you on any meds at the moment? I just started celexa and heard it takes a while? Wishing you the best
Hey, i take Sertraline at the moment - i started on Citalopram (Celexa) 6 years ago and was on it for a year, i have a video on it on my channel that i did at the time. Starting it really changed my life to be honest, especially with my anxiety. I was on it for a year due to not getting on with it (a lot of circumstantial issues and changes in my life at the time). I hope you get on well with it and the initial side effects arent too heavy, look after yourself during this process!
😳😳😳😵💫❤️
Hi Talitha, I just want to say its great that you are studying to become a therapist. I also want to do the same thing and i am on universal credit but I have a limited capacity to work due to my psychosis. If you dont mind me asking, is your therapy course expensive in terms of having to pay for tuition fees and personal therapy? Im nearly about to finish my level 2 certificate in counselling skills.
Hey - congrats on being close to your level 2! Tbh, it was a process. You apply for student finance for postgrad study - depending on finances they give enough to cover course fees and a few £100's extra (very dependent on circumstances), this gets paid into your account and you then pay your fees directly to the university. Universities have funding for further financial support, and this would depend on how much they can give to support students (the allocated amount by the government). Regarding personal therapy, each course is different, mind required 6 personal therapy sessions self-funded (at £50 each), but some course require extensive personal therapy. I hope this helps!
Also prewarning it may mess with your UC payments, let them know in advance that this will be coming into your account, as they will see this as a 'payment', and not recognise it as paying for university fees
@mentalhealthheadache Thanks Talitha 😊
Keep your head up Tali you got this! No matter how hard it gets you keep on going .🪷
thank you, im finding it hard but the only way is forward. thank you🙏🏽
@@mentalhealthheadache You’re welcome. I want you to know that whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone. Life can be overwhelming at times, but even in the darkest moments, there’s hope. You’re stronger than you realize, and each small step you take is a step forward. I may not know you, but I believe in the strength of the human spirit, and I believe in you. Hang in there-things can and will get better. You’ve got this. 🕊️
I truly hope that things have gotten better from this last post. Take care of your firstly so that you may care for others around you. Take a breather god doesn’t give you struggles if he knew you couldn’t handle them. Count your blessings the end of the day we things could be worst.
peaks and troughs for sure but on a overall scale ive definitely gotten a touch better. thank you for your comment🫶🏽
Don’t feel shame for having to take meds if they help you that’s the importance of it all. I take Lorazepam for Anxiety and it works wonders. Counseling is not for me and just makes you more self aware of what you are going through but not a long term solution for our personal health. Ps. You’re very beautiful and you should not allow your experience with depressants to suppress your true potential.
Hey, i dont feel shame for the meds anymore, I've definitely become very comfortable with them. Therapy does make you more self aware to what is going on, but if you stay in it long enough, you are able to heal this alongside your therapist, its recommended 26 sessions and is research-proven to have significant long-term positive impacts, though not all therapists work well for us!
I am the same as you <3 And isolate myself too, iv been on Sertraline since August, 125mgs and hav been completely numb, paranoid and anxious, theyv made me an anxious paranoid mess
thank you for sharing your experience because i get left feeling so, so confused. sertraline isn’t doing too much for me, the doctor suggests changing over but 90% of me just wants to be off them because of the impact when changing meds. i did used to have venlafaxine as an additional to sertraline as i was also anxious as hell but had to stop this when i was pregnant - someone recently suggested to me speaking to the doctor about an add on, they may be able to help ease the anxiety. i hope you’re doing okay🫶🏽
Exactly, Sertraline is an anxious urge to get up and do things but not happiness
I went from Citalopram when to Sertraline when it pooped out and I feel totally numb on 125mgs :( But without i cant get on with certain ppl and wont leave house
I feel you. I got qualified and still can't get a job then they blame me.
its just such a horrible feeling. i hope you have some luck with things soon
Don’t tell them you are looking for a job. Because that makes them think you want a job. You are better of saying you are too depressed to look for a job and hold down a job until you feel better.
i hear you. thank you
Bless you my love I hope you are ok. I know this feeling. Keep strong darling x
thank you 🩷

I probably will have a PIP assessment coming up soon, I'm waiting for PIP to review my claim. I've had PIP for like 5 years due to my psychosis. Thanks for this video. I'm hoping when they book an assessment if I need one that it goes well. My last PIP review was in 2022.
aw i hope its a quick smooth process for you & things go well 🙏🏽
Are u a leo
im a taurus♉️
@mentalhealthheadache OK u just remind me of a girl I knew was a leo ur to pretty to be depressed 😊😊hope u get better tho
Continue to take things one day at a time 🙏
I used your old side effects videos to help me get off of my antidepressants and anti anxiety meds. I got my hormones checked and it turned out that i needed hormone replacement therapy. I have felt much better since then, and thank you for sharing your experiences. Put it in God's hands and lean on him
wow no way 💗 thank you for letting me know honestly, its something i will look into & thank you for your words 🙏🏽
This medication made me feel like I always had to pee and or had a UTI. Tried to push through it but after 2 months I had to switch to fluoxetine.
oh wow, i hope fluoxetine works better for you?
I just got awarded PIP. The process was hard work. Trust me, it's worth the effort. You're overthinking it. Good luck.
they automated an appointment without me submitting any documents but they rang super late and i couldnt take it, they just automated a new appointment for me (which still hasnt been given). im going to persist and see what happens as i think before i felt a lot of stress because of how much it could help me but now ive just moreso accepted it will take time. thank you for your comment 🙏🏽
@@mentalhealthheadache and remember if you get it the lump sum backdated payment is great. Like I said, they make it hard but it is sooo worth the effort if you get through✌🏽
Im thankful i have good stores that the baby is taking from me. I can keep down a little water. I can only eat bits at a time, needs to be cold. Tomatoes and crackers. That's it atm. What's worse too , its worse when you don't eat...but you just can't. Im sick of wreching up bile. I feel like i can't breathe, ive had 1 day this week that i felt ok enough to wash up, shower...
❤ thank you for sharing. Big hug from me.
thankyou🤍
❤ thank you for sharing and being so honest. I can’t tell you how much you have helped me with this video. Kind regards. David.
thankyou, glad my experience is some help, i appreciate your comment❤️
@@mentalhealthheadache thank you, will subscribe to your channel too.
Sorry that you're feeling this way ATM! I really hope things get better for you soon. Thank you for sharing, although it was quite a sad share it reminds us that we are struggling sometimes and that I find really relatable! Take care of yourself
Thank you for your comment, i hear you even just watching it back a week later reflecting. thank you🙏🏽
Do you have any current hobbies?
i do, good and bad ones, i'm trying to rebalance and re-focus and take each day as it comes essentially
Jesus loves you. Trust in Him. God bless❤
❤️Thank you, thankfully I trust in his process
@@mentalhealthheadache Glory be to God. You have a very bright future. Please continue trusting in Jesus. I have been praying for you ever since I stumbled across your videos about a week ago. Don’t give up. God’s got you. 💕🩷
Hi, I feel your pain . I am in a dark place too, although have not tried claiming PIP and after watching your clip do not think I will...It makes you feel so small, powerless and redundant, when people in power put their foot on your throat and spit in to your eyes. In turn it makes your condition even worse...Personally, I stoped communcating with all governmental bodies, because each interaction with them just makes you feel even worse than before . I hope you will eventually get better. Hang in there.❤
honestly hit the nail on the head. its such a triggering thing its not worth the interacting. i hear you, im sorry you’re in a dark place, i hope you’ve been able to find peaceful pockets. thank you for your comment 🤍
watching this just to get an idea of what its like again, I came off mine 3 years back but im slowly feeling like i need them again but i really dont want to be stuck on meds again :/
i’m sorry you’re in a bad place. have you tried/had access to therapy before?
I feel you ❤ hope your ok I’ve subscribed I injoy your videos I have mental health also xxx
thank you 🤍
Amazing video, these types of videos help people. Thank you.
thank you for your comment 🤍
Went through HG with both of my kids it starts for me almost immediately after my body start to produce hcg I spent numerous hours and days in the hospital on different occasions from being sick it was so bad that I had to have continuous nausea meds running through my body via iv fluids up into about 7 months it really takes a toll on your body and it sucks definitely seeing a lot of women who have such easy pregnancies
It really does take a huge toll, hopefully that's recognised one day because literally the most difficult thing to experience
what antidepressants did you take?
in this i was taking sertraline (still am) + venlafaxine
Hya hun im new to your channel..i have ADHD FIBROMALGIA ANXIWTY. PARNOLD DEPPRESSION..Its so hard im just like you. The form is so hard my daughter did my pip form..it took us three weeks i could'nt handle it.
It's really hard to self-manage and just against everything applying for pip is about. I hope things went well with the application and you are managing well 🤍
@@mentalhealthheadache hun iv not heard anything its been 4 months but im still getting paid..i heard theres a back log
i love when you throw in "respectfully" during your loan moan~ its quite endearing~ i wish you luck on your postgrad endeavours!
Hahah, it's giving 'no offence, but'. Thank you!
Today i had a 2nd pip assessment over the phone to get more information, it was about 2.30pm and lasted about 25 miniures, after it ended i turned off my phone to get some peace and chill out a bit, i put some music on, then banging on my door and i could hear shouting and radios, it was two paramedics, telling me i had been calling my GP threatening to kill myself, we never talked about low mood at all in the 2nd assesment and in the 1st i never said at anytime i was thinking of doing anything, all they asked me is if i'd ever had any suicidal thoughts, it was pretty embarressing, what my neighbours must think i dunno, i've no idea what the assessor has said to my GP sugery for this to happen, i was shocked, shaken and embarressed...They left and about 30 minutes later they were back banging on my door, this time with a member of the Crisis team on loudspeaker wanting to know why i had been calling my GP threatenin suicide when i had not, last time i called me GP was too book a nure app for a vitamin enjection...crazy...i have no record at my GP practice of suicide or threatening to do so, just some depression associated with long tern illness.
Are you totally ok now? I mean , do u take antidepressants now?
I’ve taken anti depressants for almost 6 years - it’s peaks and troughs, life has been heavy for some years & I am in therapy & a lot feels present, thank you for asking though x
How is it all the beautiful girls are on anti depressants? All the best for all!!! ❤❤❤
Depression just doesn’t care if u cute 😩 thank you for your comment x
Wouldn’t this be a side effect of what y are taking ? Cuz y wasn’t like that in older videos
I cut a lot of footage in my older videos - i’m trying to just show up authentically & these snippets are something i would have cut. Dissociation links with trauma though i’ve never been this self-aware before to know if the medication has impacted that
Because of mental illness now shining a light on PIP disabled person now has to prove their disabilities You need to stop being so self observed you are not disabled at all .

You shouldn't be uploading this to TH-cam. You won't get any good benefits from this. You're doing it out of compulsion. You act like you forgot the camera was on. Not right, and if people irl see this it wont be received well at all. Give yourself time to process your life. However you feel now, it is never a permanent state ok.
this comment is mega presumptuous, i can hear what you're saying but toyed with posting this over a few days, though appreciate your observations as those were my initial worries of perception
i am consciously sharing aspects of my process to show others, thank you for your comment
Actually, @tashastarling6573 it is useful for me (struggling with trauma) to see that other people also struggle with dissociation in the same way I do. It is incredibly helpful to see and makes me feel less alone. This content might not be for you, and that’s ok. But it’s not your place to police what others upload, especially when its purpose is educational and healing both for the viewer and creator. Google “dissociation” and have a look at the Mind website for information about what you believe to be ‘acting as if the camera is not on’. Trust me - we aren’t pretending.
what a weird comment

I've been on Citalopram for 11 years now (20mg). I have struggled with dosage problems and even tablet manufacturer issues (they use different inactive ingredients that triggered anxiety). This video was brilliant at explaining the experience of getting on it. I'm afraid of ever stopping for the exact reasons you stated. I know this video helped a lot of people, so thank you.
