My Friends... theres no need to feel down
i said My Friends..Pick yourself off the ground
i said My Friends, cause youre in a new town
theres no need to be unhappy....

Our new thread folks (number 5!!).....i need to dash as im on nights but i will be back!
love to all. xxx

It has helped , but I just sick of when I'm
Just starting to enjoy myself this feeling of dread or worry ruins it all

ed glad dd isn't too poorly.
lonely it can be rubbish can't it. Have you tried any talking therapies ?

right, I have done 20 mins house stuff. things not as bad as I feared! Decluttering has helped - makes it easier to tidy.
Need to hoover everywhere but belt has gone on hoover - have ordered one which will hopefully arrive today...
then next major task is to sort my room which is a tip.
still want to go back to bed.... but wont....
off to make coffee and write shopping list....

I've managed to get kids to school, empty the dishwasher and wipe round the kitchen , I need to clean bathroom, and tidy kids rooms and Hoover but DD having a nap and don't want to wake her , and can't get the motivation at the moment so just say like a zombie

Hello bunny, I don't have anxiety, but I used to feel dread when depressed, and I do sometimes suffer from lack of motivation. If you've found another lump, do get it checked out. You have done brilliantly this morning, let yourself do nothing for a bit except MNetting or napping if you want

I don't dare go back again ! I already had all
My left breast scanned and nothing there and had a specialist feel them they will
Get fed up with me

Hi everyone
bobbly you're doing great. Incentivising with coffee and mumsnet is a v good idea. Hope your morning goes ok.
lonely welcome. Sympathies re: the anxiety it is awful isn't it. How long have you been on the 10mg? That's usually a starting dose - if you don't think there's been any improvement maybe worth talking to GP? Good luck with the chores. Def don't wake DC tho - hope you had a break then.
Ed sorry to hear about DC - hope she feels better for a lazy day - sounds like the right decision to me.
hi vicar interesting to hear about iron absorption - def worth getting checked.
hi spc hope your days going ok.

My brain is feeling totally overwhelmed today and back to the treacle. I have made it to shops to buy craft stuff for kids to do tomorrow and made shopping list for Sat. Still need to
-decorate cake
-get grass stains out DS smart trousers
-buy food and soft drinks
-sort out drinks and table decs ready for tomorrow.

Really need to get cake done while DD at school but am feeling so exhausted and headachy not quite sure how to proceed. Hall now booked for tomorrow as forecast now worsened, so that's done. Fed up with feeling so shit.

lonely would it help to ask a HCP (practice nurse?) to talk you through how to tell if a lump is just milk glands (or whatever the BF effect was)?

CIQ can you break the decorating into steps? First step: assemble tools needed. 2nd step: ingredients for icing etc etc. (My own cake decorating usually involves choc butter cream and smarties)

Hugs and good vibes to Snowy, as requested

Thanks spc yes have just written a six point plan for the cake. It is bit more involved than usual as am covering choc sponge with white fondant icing so need some buttercream inbetween. Am hoping I can get sponges sandwiched together and whole thing undercoated in buttercream in the next hour. Then have a break. I ultimately have til 4 if dh picks up dcs... think I will try some more paracetamol too. Must get an early night tonight otherwise tomorrow morning decorating the hall will not happen. thanks, this is so tough today x

Hey that's a good idea , the scanner lady said dont grab at the skin but use palm flat , but I still don't know you tell the lump differences , I can go to a walk in session with the nurse Monday , thank. Good luck with cake queen , perhaps get some music on to motivate you ?

Thanks lonely yes music v good idea...
Pleased you can get checked out on Monday. Are you able to "park" the worries til then? "I am seeing the nurse on Monday x 100 etc...." sometimes helps for me. take care.

right off to mix buttercream. will have to post a pic once I've done as its already feeling like a team effort x

I will try my best ! Would b great to see a pic :)

Hello everyone (some of you don't know me!) Lonely a lot of us have health anxiety from time to time. I convinced myself I had skin cancer a couple of weeks ago. It's a real bugger because we can't really be re-assured and Dr Google is a real pest for those of us who can't keep away. Haven't got any useful tips for coping with the problem, but it will go away in time. Glad you can see a nurse on Monday.

Snowy I think the sw is with you right now. I will pop back in later to see your post.....

CIQ you have set yourself an gigantic task with this first communion party - the cake sounds like it will be lovely but I can imagine all the washing up after - hope you have a dishwasher! It's small wonder you feel overwhelmed today and I know how disappointed you are about the weather. Could be worse - I know 2 people (friends of friends) who are getting married tomorrow. Try and get an early night and enjoy tomorrow.

Not ignoring everyone else - just need to do stuff....

Thank you , I thought my birthmark was skin cancer last week after watching the bob Marley film cause he got it on his toe :( I think I've lost the plot I need to stop prodding my boobs and so something ! Think I go to bed :(

lonely my brain doesn't worry, but it goes on and on trying to find solutions to problems...at its worst, horizontal under the duvet was the only position to keep it quiet. (Going for a walk could help me sometimes - brain didn't shut up, but it got more positive and insightful :) )

I too look for solutions on google ! Hoping I will find something to tell me I'm fine ! But then I see CANCER everywhere on the tv, Internet, books in People I know and care for , it scared the crap out of me. Could I up my citalopram to 20mg ? Then tell the dr I have on Monday ?

Also I think because I'm turning 30 next year I keep thinking I'm not in my 20's anymore so bound to get problems :(

The SW stayed for 40 minutes (I see her each week at the group I go to, so she knows me). I said no thanks to crisis team and to hospital (I'm not unwell enough). I said I was on amber as far as my relapse prevention plan went.

My CPN is back early next week, I'm sure she'll be in touch.

It was a bit tricky, as she touched on how I withdraw from contact as I get more unwell

Well done snowy.

I also withdraw from contact...not sure that is unusual (not sure it is healthy either)...

Lonely, I would be disinclined to up the dose of citalopram without seeing the doctor first, when i upped my dose i was given a weeks worth of diazepam to counter any side effects, could you maybe ring the surgery and ask for a telephone consultation?

Snowy, well done for seeing SW - you can foget about it now for a bit xx

Will post more later, nightmare hayfever

Don't think I can take diazepam as am
Breastfeeding ? But I will ring them and ask first .

Give them a call, are you having any counselling at all?

It's more actively disengage than withdraw; I'm going to try taking some temazepam at night, hopefully that will help.

Good luck with the phone call bunny, I hope there's something you can take.

Thanks , just need to try and stay away from the alcohol
