Hi there. I'm new and never posted on a forum before, but here goes... I'm a 26 year old female in the UK, I'm also a qualified MH nurse, not that that helps. Qualified in 2008, but am currently off work again for MH reasons. Now been off six months. This is my fourth episode in three years. Gets tougher everytime. Nothing helps. Symptoms? Can't sleep. Feel wound up. Cry too much. At nothing. Just want to hide from anyone, people just think I'm odd. I know they can tell what I'm thinking, and I don't feel in control. Forgotten who I am. Auto pilot mode don't help. I'm being haunted by a ghost who won't leave me alone. Everything always goes wrong and I can never see it happening. My boss told me I have a problem. Helpful. All or nothing. Last year had a few months where I thought this had gone. I could do anything and got loads done. Then it just went wrong. Don't know how. Wish I had an off switch. Help. Hate bothering people with this crap. Will it stop? Losing faith.*
