I've been dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts for nearly a decade now.

I've been through numerous therapists and have been seeing my current one for almost a year now.

First if all you need to speak to your GP. This is all confidential, your family will only know if you tell them. You need to be open and honest with the GP, tell them about your self harm and suicidal thoughts. I have never been threatened with any sort of psyc ward. But I suppose it would depend how bad things are? If your suicidal thoughts are only that, and you haven't made any actual plans or any attempts at suicide, then you won't be taken to a ward as far as I'm aware.

After speaking to your GP, they may offer some medication/anti depressants such as sertraline. They may also ask if you would like a referral for therapy. (If they don't ask you. Make sure you bring it up to them). Unfortunately, referral to therapy is different under every council in the UK. Some, the GP will do the referral for you. Others you will have to self refer. In that case the GP should give you a website or a phone number for you to do this. Once referred by the GP or yourself, you will usually hear from someone within a week or so to Have a thorough discussion of your needs so they can find the right type of therapy and therapist for you. Unfortunately, the next part is a waiting game. Again depending on your council there could be a waiting list of several months before you get to speak to an actual therapist. You are usually offered a choice of video call therapy or in person therapy by the way. So pick what suits you.

I don't know if you are male or female, but there are likly some local support groups in your area targeted at either group. Go onto your app/play store and search for an app called Hub of Hope. That can help you find local support services.

Also, if you have access to private medical cover such as Bupa, therapy may be covered in that. You will need GP referral to provide to Bupa, but they will be able to get you speaking to a therapist within about 1 to 2 weeks of sending your referral.

If you need to ask anymore please feel free to message me.

Basically. On the attached image. You can see that when there isn't a link or a pic attached to a post, the voting buttons will shift to the right.

When there is a link/pic the buttons are moved left toward the centre.

Can they be permanently set into the centre? It irritating when they move and I don't realise it an end up saving something instead of voting.

Thank you

Great thanks. This shows both who has blocked an instance and who that same instance is blocking.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

That's how I have experienced it.

As title. Whenever I make a comment/reply. The screen will go black after I press the arrow button on the top right. I then have to kill and reopen the app. The comment/reply will have been posted successfully at least.

So back on the old site you could write /r/NameOfSub. And it would allow other to click it to take them there. How do we do that in Lemmy? Thank you.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there is plenty. There is even a nsfw instance. I'm not sure how to link them so this might nit work but !lemmynsfw.com

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not too difficult tbh. Tables about 10 minutes if you are following the guide step bu step.

I did it again for my wife so she could view the F1 sub again and was even fast now i know what I'm doing.

I got my RiF golden platinum working again by using revanced manager and a guide to patch in my own api key. I can still view NSFW content on it too. Not sure if it will stop eventually. But works right now. I only wanted to keep it for the NSFW stuff as lemmy is only just starting in that department. Been refusing to use it for general browsing though. Trying to stick with lemmy.
