Hi JM, Sounds like you had a good session with the psychotherapist yesterday, and she is right about you not being psychotic. Some therapists say intrusive thoughts with PNI are connected to OCD. PNI encompasses so much, and a lot of it overlaps into other areas, and anxiety covers the lot, because the more anxious you are, the more you have the symptoms ~ this is what my psychiatrist told me, but I guess intrusive thoughts can be obsessive in nature, so it's understandable some would associate symptoms with OCD. Anyways the main thing is you will recover from it hun no matter whether they label it as, be it anxiety/OCD or PNI .. As for you telling your hubby your thoughts, I didn't feel it necessary with my hubby. I didn't want him worrying more than he was already, so I didn't burden him and give him more excuses to call me mental ...but some hubbys are more understanding, and it would have been nice to have been able to offload, and I wish I had been able to. I tended to keep things to myself (least said soonest mended, my philosophy ). I agree about writing them down though, even if it is a lot of writing... Write them down in your diary on here hun if you think that would help.. I know you are feeling a bit crappy today after feeling a bit better from your therapy session, but this is normal. You'll soon be having more of the good times. Speak to you tomorrow JM Love Scarlet xxxx

Hi JM
Well done with your appointment yesterday! Sounds like it was really successful! Take on board what she said about it being anxiety, i didnt believe my mental health worker for ages, kep thinking all the symptoms were something else that they had missed, but these people really do know what they are on about.
Will try to get on after 8 for a chat xx

Hi Justme
Arranging to meet your mates is a great sign!! On about my second week of cipralex i arranged to meet a freind for dinner, something i would never have considered previously! This is how i knew i was finally on the road to recovery I think. I hope you have a lovely time with your friends. x
I wasnt around last night like i said i would be as my LO was ill with croupe and ended up taking her to hospital, ao i am sorry i wasnt about. But should be around tonight if you need to chat xx
Take Care

Hi JM,
I am so pleased to hear you got some sleep. When I started recovering, one of the first things I noticed was that I was sleeping, and having a few good hours before bedtime. It does sound like the ADs are working at last hun, and I am so proud of you that you've managed to arrange to meet your frineds, this is a huge step. You are recovering no doubt about that, and it's only when you look back that you can actually see this at the moment. As you said 2 weeks ago you wouldn't have been in a position to do anything. Remember to try and push yourself a wee bit everyday and get out and about, even if it's only to the post office. In the end these little steps, even if they seem like mountains to climb, will help speed up your recovery hun.... so do it even if you are getting intrusive thoughts and it doesn't feel worth it, because it is.
I'll hang around in chat for you in the morn if you come on. Mornings are the best for me as I tend to go out in an afternoon hun, so if you are around and want to offload some things, I'll be on tomorrow morn.
Have a lovely afternoon
Hugz
Scarlet xxxx
