no wasnt nice at all Sad

im feeling shakey, nauseous and have a horrid head ache! the last 2 days have been nice, ive had energy and felt happy - even cooked meals from scratch with my energy! hate feeling like this.

LEMisdisappointed · 10/07/2013 09:44

What ADs are you on mouses?The vivid dreams are a common side effects. I have always had very lucid dreams and could always go back to sleep and "sort things out" or not, they can be scary. Now im on citalopram my dreams are just like reality and it can be scary and hard to differentiate.

TheSilveryPussycat · 10/07/2013 09:47

Sounds like you need some duvet time mouses if that is possible. Some people need to rest after a period of being energetic - otherwise they burn out Sad

Glad it is cloudy today (how can I be saying that(!)) - it was too hot to be in the sun all of yesterday here...

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 09:57

Oh dear. CPN was full of lectures about I'm going down the same path as before (i.e. sectioning). I'm told I have to go to the appointment on Friday, no phone calls. I feel terrible, I did explain how difficult it is. CPN said that if psych wasn't going on annual leave next week, she'd have arranged a home visit. That doesn't really help with now.

mouses · 10/07/2013 10:01

lem im on fluoxetine. my sleep patterns can go from staying up til 2am cos im not sleepy to falling asleep at 2 in the afternoon! some nights im asleep before hitting the pillow and others i can toss and turn all night. but last night was something totally different.

no rest today im affraid, now ive finished breakfast ive got to walk the dog, do lunch before picking DD from school, then job club (bore!) then older kids from school, dinner, bath and bed!!! think i have burned out, i dont normaly have so much energy. was nice while it lasted.

mouses · 10/07/2013 10:03

sorry snowy, ive totally interupted your conversation. didnt want to start a thread over a silly dream, so wrote it here x

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 10:14

You haven't interrupted anything. If I was more together I'd attempt a sensible reply to your post, but I can't do much more than wish you luck at the moment.

LEMisdisappointed · 10/07/2013 10:18

yep you can get the dream thing on that too, most of the SSRIs cause sleep disturbance of some sort. It will settle down. This thread is just the place to talk about things like that. Not becuse its silly, but because we are aware of each others backgrounds to a degree and it saves having to go through it again.

Snowy - lovely lady! Its Wednesday now, and tomorrow is thursday (obviously :) ) That is two days where you don't have to do anything re the psych appointment. I know you don't want to go - i totally understand but sweetheart you must, if only to keep them happy. Like i said to you before, you may feel better but they can't read your mind - you just need to co-operate with them to a degree. I know its shit for you. Heres a thing, I have to go to the dentist next tuesday, im starting to get anxious even now - im sure the receptionist made a Hmm face when i said i was scared of people looking in my mouth. Its a big deal for me - i haven't been to a dentist (apart from the hospital one) for over ten years and im petrified, but i know that if i don't go i risk being in agony again like i was over the weekend. I don't want to do it - lets face this together yeah? I know how hard it must be for you to face your psych on friday, much tougher than the dentist, so if you can do that, then i will have no bloody excuse to be wimping out of my dental appointment.

Very anxious today :( Its payday but i have a horrible feeling that DP isn't going to get paid, the company he is working for is not doing well and he is looking for another job but something in the pit of my stomach is telling me that he wont be paid today. My mum has offered to go halves with us so we can take DD to legoland and stay overnight in a hotel and i need to book this today, but i can't do that until DP gets paid - i want to ring him and ask him but i don't want to stress him out, i am waiting on a call from him as i know he will ring me once the money is transferred. If he doesn't get paid, we will be fucked as we are behind wth the bills an everyone has been put off until today :(

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 10:33

I think everything's relative LEM ...good luck with the run up to your dental appointment. At least I've got this thread for support. It is clear to me that I have to go... Sad

I'm so sorry that your DP's company is going through a rough time, thinking of you and yours, hope you hear that he's been paid soon Sad

mouses · 10/07/2013 10:37

sorry others are having a bad time too, wish you all better days.

im off out now to walk the dog

LEMisdisappointed · 10/07/2013 10:45

I need to take my dogs out too x

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 12:32

Grr, just had a pack of biscuits Hmm

LEMisdisappointed · 10/07/2013 13:49

Ahh fucksticks :( Just found out that DP has not got anymore work - but he did get paid so thats something. Will be booking our little break though.

bobblypop · 10/07/2013 13:55

Afternoon all
mouses I get the wierd dream type things too with citalopram. In face last night had odd stuff going on all night as I have recently increased my dose and it always takes a while for sleeping to settle back down. Hope you get a better night's sleep tonight.
snowy eating a pack of biscuits aint that bad! (that's what I tell myslef) hope you can relax a bit today.
lem hope money goes in soon. I get soooo stressed about financial stuff, its such a pressure.
silvery have to admit it was almost too hot for me too yesterday!

well, feeling a bit better today, though shattered due to crap sleep from increasing my citalopram.
Have been into work (even though day off[hmm) and had to do something V stressful which I was dreading, but in the end it went OK. also got chance to chat to my proper manager about issue with other manager and felt very supported by him which makes me feel better.
Now going to chill for an hour before school pick up (although should be tidying as house a mess but too tired!)

will try and pop back later.Grin

bobblypop · 10/07/2013 13:57

lem x posts sorry to hear about DH Sad at least you did get some money. How likely is it that DH will be able to find something else?

ColouringInQueen · 10/07/2013 14:01

Hi everyone. V tired again today but just wanted to say hi and send hugs to snowy, mouses and lem.

Supposed to be going on night out with some mums from school tonight but really dont feel like going as feel bit of an outsider since 2 friends have kind of paired off without me since my illness and I dont know the others so well...

Take care everyone. Nap time here. ..

bobblypop · 10/07/2013 14:25

ciq do you think you might enjoy once you got there, or be glad you went afterwards? I usually don't feel like going out and often talk myself out of it, but many times if I make myself go I end up enjoying it. Sometimes though I do feel that it is just another pressure I don't need to deal with, so dont go if you really don't think you'll enjoy it. enjoy your nap.

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 14:30

Sorry about DH's lack of work (((( LEM )))) Thanks bobbly Sorry you're so tired CiQ

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 15:47

I suddenly thought of patient transport, that would help if they could organise it.

LEMisdisappointed · 10/07/2013 16:14

Snowy try your local voluntary beureau who can provide patient transport aldo the red Cross do this

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 16:32

Thanks LEM I have a big electric wheelchair so it has to be the van type. I could book it directly if it were at a different hospital.

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/07/2013 16:41

grand idea there snowy - alleviate what ever worries you can. I did this when i was worrying and anxious about getting somewhere for work - getting there was making very very anxious - so i organised myself a lift - one less thing to worry about.

im coughing up a lung Sad
i feel ok when im just sat - but i tired to walk the dog and meet my friend in the park for a chat - discovered i cant walk and talk at the same time.

i did get up earlier today (had some pampering - pedicure/facial) but had a bad nights sleep - what with the coughing and 2 very very weird dreams.
im on sertraline and it s causing the weirdest dreams - proper science fiction stuff.
last night there was a portal to another world....i went through it with people i dont even know. One got zapped by something....

then i was on some sort of treasure hunt....i was last. i was a bit rubbish at it.

weird dreams. nothing too scary of late just bizarre....but mouses i did have some proper nightmares to begin with. How long you been on the meds?

my days off are disappearing too fast.

SnowyMouse · 10/07/2013 16:59

You sound like you need a break, vicar Hopefully I'll hear something tomorrow about transport. Those sound bizarre dreams.

I'm glad it's looking a little cooler in the next couple of days.

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/07/2013 17:28

Hugs twin vicar

I am coughing up phlem too. But not enough that I am concerned about. Worse when I lay down. I did sleep 4hrs this afternoon.

Been discharged by therapist today.

Hugs to CIQ and lem. Hope your dps get some work soon.

snowy do what you can to minimise the stress of tge day. Organising transport ASAP sounds like a very goid idea.
