Today not been bad at all really. Recently have noticed I feel a little better at weekends. Think it's because my partner is home and I'm not alone with Josh. Went to the gym and out for a meal. Also did the food shop. I don't know what it is about supermarkets but I always feel rubbish while I'm there and they make me dizzy. Apart from in there though dizziness not been too bad today. Been a bit stressful tonight trying to get ironing and bits done and josh woke up crying a few times.

I've always fancied Cornwall too. I'm not a fan of flying I was a nervous wreck on way to and back from Ibiza the other month. How are you anyway weeble? Don't think i've read many of your posts on here, did you have pni a while ago? Are you recovered now? Xxx

Bless you that's such a long time. I can see myself how this can change the way you see your life. It's made me see what's important and how it can feel to not feel yourself day in day out. I've also got fatter, my body def isn't what it was before I had josh it's disgusting. Well done on having 2 jobs I'm looking forward to getting back into work but think I'll just start part time. Is your pni more the mental symptoms and horrible thoughts rather than physical ones? Xxx

Mmmm I had ptsd as well and the ptsd was probably the second time I had had it. The first time was not diagnosed Dr's.thought it was something physical. My symptoms were extreme anxiety I experienced overwhelming fear I had flashbacks I experienced big periods of dissociation and my thoughts were suicidal in nature. I struggled to leave my bedroom and I had periods of time when the world was very confusing and I felt unsure what was really going on. It was totally pants but now I am discharged from all mental health services and doing really well :-)

Had to get myself up with josh this morning as my partner wanted a lie in. Thought I would feel really rubbish after having only 7 hours sleep usually I need about 10. But I've not felt too bad. Was in the gym for half 8! Didn't think that was possible. Had a bit of headache that seemed to move round my head today. This afternoon we went to our friends for a BBQ. Was really nice in the sun but I still feel a bit out of it almost like I'm not fully here and trapped in my own head. I was thinking how much more I will appreciate life when I feel normal again and I hope and pray that day will come. We walked it back and I always feel abit strange outside because of my foggy vision.

Well done on early starts, gym and being sociable!! Sounds like a very positive day. I know what you mean about not being fully there. I often feel like I'm in a bubble especially in group settings. Hope the headache goes soon xx

Sounds like u had an amazing day! All the things you want will come ...you are recovering and it's clear to see!
It's funny you mentioned hating the supermarket - I was like that too! Don't know if it's the hustle and bustle too many things to focus on but I too would automatically feel fuzzy headed/ spaced out in walking in to tescos. Also even when I was well into recovery going somewhere new, even if there was rationally and consciously nothing to feat I would get this response . This too passes with timex

Thank you everyone is so helpful and reassuring. I noticed that too brach the more people around me the more fuzzy and a little dizzy I feel almost like I need space around me.
I'm the same Monica as soon as I walk in as you say it starts. I thought at first it was something to do with the lights but yes it must be all the people around. Glad you can relate to that xx

Tesco is my kryptonite too. My cbt person has set as my homework to go to tesco twice a week. I hated her for it at first. I was having near panic attacks. It was partly all the people around, partly bumping in to people I know and also having to make so many choices!!! I also think there's something about the lights too - tesco is far worse than asda for me. Not sure what that's about!!! The homework is helping and we regularly have food in the fridge which is a bit of a novelty after the last year of tesco avoidance! Hope you feel some progress with it soon x
