Anyone want to swear mental illness away for a bit?

[Shitalopram]

Sorry if that sounds flippant. I know it's not that simple or straightforward. As username suggests I have a 20 - not, shit! - THIRTY year history of mental illness, have lost a grandparent and a partner to suicide, and tonight have phoned the Samaritans and done all the good responsible self-care stuff that I know inside and out.

I don't think sharing the details of my grief-ridden life is going to be of much help to me or anyone else, but I do think that having a good old swear might be cathartic.

So if anyone is awake, please join me in swearing at mental illness. Perhaps we can frighten it off if we all gang up on it.

I'lll start.

Fuck off you useless fucking shower of festering turd bollocks and stop choosing 1.30am as the optimum time to wake me up and remind me what a shitshow my life has become.

Ahhhh. Anyone else?

I didn't sleep a wink all night due to stressing about work so will just add a further

Stick it right up your bum and then swivel on it, brain!

I got some sleep finally but that doesn't mean to say I don't want to telll mental illness to...

...pack its fucking bags and fuck off to the far side of shiteland and live somewhere far far away in a house made of nobcheese and earwax with a big sign on the door saying "a gigantic bellend lives here"

sorry this is very childish but it seems to be helping.

love it .
