Iacc you’re doing it all wrong …

BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gone?

do any of these suposed cures actually work?

knew you were touting 1984! 😛

Stick your head in a bucket of water, when it all goes black, you’ll know that its worked

Stretching the diapharam is the way to fix it.

So generally holding your breath works well if done properly

1) Inhale as much as you can in the normal method

2) Take a mouthfull of air and force it into your lungs.. do this a few times until your lungs feel like they are ready to burst

3) Stretch. Roll your shoulders. Point your arms up and bend back and forwards. Stick your chest out etc

Works for me 90% of the time

yeah, i agree with the diaphragm thing.. if i hold my breath and push on it it usually stops them.
does anyone think that hiccups really hurt? like, bad? 😐

worse thing about having the hiccups is trying to have a cigarette. always bugs me.

it’s funny watching somebody try to smoke a bong when they’ve got them though lol

is that still used in the uk for psychosis?

I think so – it was at least a few years ago –

the thing is it can work really well ………………. but has horrendous side effects so I guess they have to weigh up the pros and cons

prescribe some thing that can work and then have to give another tablet 3 times a day to counter the side effects or use something that may not work as well but will also have its own side effects…….
tough choice as I seen horrendous EPSI’s

I personally wouldnt want to take it – but would if I was that ill, but generally by that time your insight has dissapeared anyway :hopeless:

think they gave it to me (perhaps not they all sound so simular) just before I went away for a week. Came back hearing voices and thinking people were trying to poison me. They also tried to give me ECT.

thank fuck for mindfulness.

its a difficult thing to do – get the right med’s – these days there is much more choice – but some of em can ‘make’ you really fat, some can give you joint pain etc etc
and again – ECT – I seen some people have fantastic recovery from catatonic states and some bad memory loss – and a few friend of mine have had pretty bad experiences

I think the thing with mental health is …..

its better than the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s but there is still a massive way to go –
and what with the brain it really is a trial and error kind of medicine still :hopeless:

talking therapy and yeh – mindfulness

there is a really good few sites apparently

Mindfulness – Your Present Moment

Be Mindful Online – An Online Mindfulness Course

I find it really difficult – but think I need more practice

you know hicups are called ‘pandiculation’, a stretching of muscles. yawning is also a form
