have a good one serina

 

[nessajane]

hey everyone, i seem to having a good day and yet i only started my sertraline yesterday??? I really didn't think it would work this fast and am a bit worried that this is like the calm before the storm

Im on sertraline, have been for about 4 months... i started to feel better in a few days but it does take a while to feel 100%!! I think after 4-6 weeks i felt completley myself!! You'll get here hun x x

 

[lillysmum]

thanks nessa, do you still have down days or are they in the past?

 

[Shifter]

Have fun serina.

Elm - I do have a sling yes, I love baby wearing But it's not that practical when I need to take a changing bag somewhere, somehow it makes me feel very encumbered

 

[nessajane]

thanks nessa, do you still have down days or are they in the past?

I still have the odd day but im getting fewer and fewer as time goes by xx

 

[Jkelmum]

[pinkmummy]

Elm I've never heard of that before, sorry it didn't work

Nessa so glad your tablets are working hun

Serina glad you enjoyed your drink hun, its nice to let go in a while.

Sorry if I'd missed anyone out I'm in a rush xx

Hey ladies.

Glad you had a little drink and relaxed Serina and i'm pleased your binning that vile HV!
Shifter- i suffer from anxiety too, have done for about 4.5 years. I used to take pills for it but i did seem to have in under control for a good while......until now, its back!! I am forcing myself to go out as i don't want to get trapped in the horrible cycle of not going out anywhere again.

I'm seeing the psychologist next wednesday and i am proper dreading it as i dunno what to tell them. What am i supposed to say? I feel sad and like running away?!?! Blaaahhhhhh!! I know i'm gonna cry tears the size of october cabbages and make a tit of myself and i'm so close to cancelling

Is anyone else being a total bitch to their OH's. I am! I keep getting the urge to leave him, i have even been looking at houses and stashing money away so i can afford to do it. I do love him to bits and he hasn't done anything wrong but he is a lazy git who thinks he helps out but really he doesn't. I keep thinking that if i was on my own it would be easier as if there is someone around who could be helping but doesn't it would be easier to do it alone, that way, my "chores" wouldn't leave a bad taste in my mouth IYKWIM.

Hope everyone is ok, and to those that need them xx

 

[Jkelmum]

Snetty the other day I shouted right in his face I HATE YOU He as done no wrong but he just looks a me wrong at the moment

Plz plz try not to cancel it will do u the world of good in the end a good cry may help also this psychologist will have heard it all 1000,s so u wont be making a tit of your self

Well finally screw u HV she told me Lily was yellow and must see doc a.s.a.p doc laughed and said her skin was perfect x

 

[ALY]

Dont cancel hun
i cried the first time i went to the docs
I no wat you mean about wanting to leave oh cos iv done it a few times and iv even thrown my wedding rigs back at him and that was 4 weeks ago and he didnt give me them back till my birthday

 

[Shifter]

snetty, please don't cancel your appointment. Don't worry about what you will say, it will come to you at the time and please don't worry about crying, they are used to it and won't think badly of you

 

[lillysmum]

hey girls, hope you're all doing ok. I'm feeling really awful and am wondering if it's perhaps a side-effect of the sertraline, i woke up twice last night feeling totally sick, shaking and everything - was previously sleeping fine.

anyone else experienced this?

 

[elm]

Hi lillysmum - I stopped taking sertraline because it didn't agree with me. I started feeling sick in about the third week of taking it and didn't think it was working that well as I was getting more depressed so I went to the drs and she suggested doubling the dose. I was then sick and had diarrhoea. I took myself off it then gave it a few days to get out of my system before starting fluoxetine (prozac) and I haven't had the same problems with that

x

 

[elm]

snetty - I haven't had one appointment where I haven't cried through most of it!! I said how stupid I felt crying and they were really reassuring, said the tissues were there for a reason. She even told me that one lady she sees brings her own softer tissues with her now!!! Don't worry about what to say, just answer their questions honestly and if you don't want to talk about something at the moment just say that you don't feel able / ready to discuss it. I couldn't talk about my birth experience and it wasn't a problem xxx

 

[ALY]

Hiya girls x
Just to let you no am feeling a lot better and i even sorted out my prob about someone saying i was beating the kids up x
she admitted that she did say someone had been doing it but it wasnt me and ppl had got me mixed up with some one else x
How is everyone hope your all feeling a bit better

 

[snettyb]

So pleased your feeling better today aly! And i'm over the moon that the horrid missunderstanding has been sorted.

I've had the day hell TBH, i had plans for a friend to come and do my hair, eye lashes and facial and another friend to come and watch jake while i was being pampered. Jake had a very whiney day so i felt stressed being stuck on a chair with foils being put in my hair and not being able to help. Then because my beauty therapist friend arrived late, i had to leave to pick my son up from school with wet hair, drop her off, take the other friend home and i only ended up with the hair colour and nowt else. Jake continued to scream, kieran (the bigger one) was chewing my ear off about some kid at school pushing him and he has lost one of his fecking pokemon toys then OH came in and twisted about the house being a tip I'm ashamed to say i was so wound up i started to hit the vodka, neat out the bottle (minging bitch i am!!) DAY FROM HELL!!! Oh and top it off, my friend found 2 massive grey hairs on my head . . . . . GUTTED!!!

I only had a little bit vodka, and a few cans of larger and i feel so chilled now. Jake in bed, kieran at his nana's and big brother on tele. I know drink isn't the answer but it sure does help.

Hope everyone has had a better day than me xx

 

[ALY]

Snetty
I made her go round and tell everyone it wasnt me
but i feel alot better as i was scared to go out cos i tho ppl were looking at me
Holly came home from school today to tell me that someone in her class had drawn all over her back and that the teacher said well dont let her do it
Hun we all have days like that and sorry you didnt get to have all your treatments
hope tomorro is a better day for you
and if it helps i hit the bottle too wen im feeling like that

 

[lillysmum]

*hugs snetty* sounds like a pretty crap day, best thing is to look forward to tomorrow and try and make that a better day.

glad you got that sorted out aly, can imagine that'd be really awful having ppl looking at you thinking that
