How do you know if you're having one of its starting ?

I don't think you do know that one is starting tbh.

Ime it's a build up of many years and possibly many different issues and one day you just can't function anymore. Depression, anxiety often preceed this.

I don't think you can..
I could not see that I was heading down the tubes. Indeed I thought I was a paragon of virtue and it was everyone else who was at fault.. You can only see the world through your own eyes, but when you are ill, you can't see the sunshine for the brightness..

If you have good enough friends, they can tell you if you are becoming over the top.

Really bad day today.

If I tell the nurse certain things at an appointment for something else, will it go on my notes does anyone know please?

If they are good, it should set the alarms ringing and someone should pay attention to you.

But the NHS is usually focussed on the task in front of them in order to meet targets so it is unlikely.

Ok. Thank you. I'm thinking no real point telling her then. There's two things really, neither of which I'd want on my notes Confused.
