Hey JM You do right then not to go to the GP if it will make you feel anxious. You won't feel like this forever because you didn't last time did you. So you won't this time either. The thing is for you, you have had such a lot to deal with. Its not fair the way you got this illness and you have that to deal with and so your recovery may take longer than others. Hang on in there and think of the better days you have already had. I can see a pattern in you, you always seem to feel worse (like this) during or just after your period. Look at your diary, you did last month and then it passed again Bear with it and keep busy (easy in hols!!). Cokey xxx

Hi JM
You know this is not forever hun, its just hard at the time.
I know why you wouldnt want to go on the meds babes, but perhaps you would consider taking them around taht time of the month? Lots of ladies get prescribed something like fluoxetine just to take on the run up to that time of the month...
How you doing this morning babes?

U so right about feeling this way during and just after a period...have noticed it myself and keep tryna tell myself a few days and u will few better but the few days aint coming!!! Am feeling a wee bit better today....think I have sat around the last few days feelin sorry for myself crying all the time and generally making the obssessive thoughts worse! U said about keepin busy in the hols...its hard for me cos my kids dont wana know me lol i always think do they live here or at there mates?!! Wouldnt have it any other way though cos it makes them happy not to b in the house. In regards to the meds I think am gunna carry on with these ones and see how it goes till my next appointment with the shrink which is in 2 weeks. I know he wants to change the meds cos he said it last time but am having a big dilemma about it in case I go back to how I was feeling a few months ago....i dunno so will just c what happens. Off for some retail therapy....always manages to make me feel better if only temporary!! Hope u all r ok and good to c u back WG. Take care Clairexx

Hi mate
I used to get in a tiz over the meds too. However I found swapping 100 x easier then starting from scratch! I never even noticed any side effects when switching onto cipralex!
Hope you manage to get some nice stuff when shopping babes and feel better as the afternoon goes on x

Yeah WG is right, you arent starting from scratch with the meds and maybe a change could be the best thing you have ever done. Either way though, you will get better and you must do what you feel most comfortable with.
Glad today is better. i am just like you, worst when my period starts - dont know why.

Am starting to think maybe i should change the meds i dunno though....I seem to have 2 weeks of feeling like complete and utter crap and then 2 weeks of feelin some kinda normality so i dunno whether the meds r working or what! Am thinkin at the moment about going back to c a councellor/therapist as I think that helped and I dont feel like I can tell my friends and family half of whats going on so am gunna look into that this week. Am starting to think that maybe speakin to someone will help...I know i will still have this illness but I think part of my problem is that something will piss me off and where as it used to go over my head now it will brings me crashing back down. Anyways my rant for today is families lol...they really piss me off....am thinkin of movin up north and leavin them all here so i dont have to deal with them anymore as am sure they are making me 10 times worse.

Hi JM If you move up north come to Nottingham! Its a blast up here and great bars... I found that i would have two weeks of ok and then a couple of bad weeks for ages, then it was just one bad week a month etc... so it does dwindle down.. Hows things today mate? WG xx

If we move it gunna b to newcastle.......although Nottingham sounds better then I dont have to deal with the in laws lol!! And great bars are always a bonus wg!! Yesterday was one of the worse days of my life in regards to the PNI........I went to the shops had a massive panic attack thought I was gunna die or go mad so I came back home. I spent all yesterday afternoon/night crying and begging my OH to take me to the mental hospital cos that where I am thinkin I should b. The obssessive thoughts were awful yesterday I was so worried I was gunna harm someone and that I had really lost the plot. I kept tellin my OH that I was just like my mother...he was sayin no u aint but I dont believe him, am convinced that its just a matter of time before I go completely crazy and end up just like her. One good thing that come out of yesterday is that my OH is gunna try to take a week off work so I can change meds or increase the ones that am on now.......he says that if he is here he will make sure nothin bad happens and if the meds dont work just stop taking them....sounds so simple innit?!!! I feel a bit more chilled today then I did yesterday....I think crying helped so am hoping that things r gunna start lookin up today..........grr at this bloody illness y does it feel like u take 2 steps forward and then 3 steps back. Hope u all r ok and enjoying the hols xxx

Hi Hun
Blip, Blip. Blip... it will pass. It may not disappear over night but it will pass hun, I promise. Hang in there.
How you feeling this afternoon mate?
I remember there being times when I would beg my OH to have me sectioned. I wanted to be put away and kept from everyone until I was better again... But now I am glad that I just fought it as I now see how great life can be again...
Always here for you babes xx
