Still felt rubbish last night, my husband could see how stressed I was bless him, so he cooked, made his lunch for work and made the evening bottles too all stuff I normally do. Had a bit of a bust up with my best friend a few weeks ago but text her last night saying how much I miss her cos I really do. I feel like I've had a baby and now no one wants to know. I have a telephone assessment for CBT on 13th march but I have an appt with the pyschologist today which I'm really nervous about. I don't care about being happy I just want me bk fed up of feeling so low from the minute I open my eyes until the minute I go back to sleep. How on earth can I live my life like this anymore. Xxx

Thank you hun, I'm sooo nervous I hate admitting it all and especially to people like them, it scares me that they are gonna say they want to put me in hospital. I'm scared I'm loosing my life and there is nothing I can do about it! Xxx

Well done you for coping with it..i really get how scary that was for you. Have they offered you any kind of therapy along with the medication? I found I really had to push hard to get the therapy but once i had it, and along with the drugs, it made a huge difference.
Good luck with the increase xx

LOVE zumba!!! Defo do it, i'm sure it will do you the world of good. You absolutely need some time for you and if you can drag a friend along with will be even more of a laugh! Plus the exercise will release all the endorphins you so badly need right now xx

Yeah a friend is going to come with me too.... Day one today of the 60mg fluxotine, I'm coming to the end of my period now too so that may also help not sure. The main thing is for me I'm wanting to book a summer holiday this year and I haven't flown for 5 years cos I had a really bad panic attack the last time I was on a plane. And for me to even consider it is a big thing!! Xxx

Even for you just to be thinking about going on a plan again is a massive step forward. My panic attacks also started on a long haul flight and i didn't fly for around 3 / 4 years afterwards. CBT REALLY helped with this and although its not something I look forward to, its now manageable again. Fingers crossed your cbt starts in April x

Hi
A bit of me time is brill idea. The endorphi from exercise will give you a boost too and just Having a bit of time away from home with friend will be really ood for you.
Your meeting sounded very positive. Sounds like theres plan f action. Good luck with cbt. It's really good and will provide you with tools to combat ngative thinking. The paced out feeling was probably a reaction to being in stressful situation. I used to get this. It will pass in time.
Wow holiday! That really is a sign you are doing so much better. Where are you thinking of!
Monica
Wow
