I am new to this website and I am fascinated by it. It's so amazingly comforting to read other people experiencing the same things I've been going through.
I had a mental breakdown two weeks ago and attempted suicide. Afterwards I realised I didn't really want to die - I just urgently needed some help.
I had my first session with a therapist last week and I am on moclobemide. I think it's really helping. I feel much more possitive , although the things that are troubling me haven't gone away obviously.
I am fascinated by your discussions about drugs and what I am intrigued by is really a philosophical question. If my personality and identity is the by-product of a series of electrical and chemical processes in my brain - processes which can be manipulated by drugs - is there something in there that is the real, core me? Mocolobemide is making me feel better, but is is reality?
