Hi all

Nothing to report but just wanted to send my love.

Ennn I get the stiffness when depressed, too.
Up Really hope doctor is helpful this morning.
Iwas Welcome! Although I'm working now, I haven't for most of my life. Very much relate to the loneliness of it all.

Morning toothy.

Am feeling less like a freak

Morning all. Hope Millie's DD is a bit better. Up, good luck with the doctor.

Morning!! Thankfully, DD is fine :) so I'm packing her off to nursery

Up, I'll be thinking of you this morning

Another handhold for Up.

thinking of you this morning up, glad Millie jr is ok and Happy Thursday everyone else

woke at 4am after a horrible post-apocalyptic movie style dream and am still shaking it off, am 800g overweight and can understand the appeal of self destruction

Hugs, Polly. Tolerating the feeling of
"overweightness" does become easier with time, but it's really shit when it's so intense and feels so intolerable

thanks millie is not only a feeling, have actually gained that much since 31st Jan

life is cruel

time for a list of reasons to at least try to be cheerful

only one of my favourite people is dying of cancer, everyone else I care about is pretty healthy right now
am pretty sure that by the weekend I can start going out for decent walks again, maybe with some running breaks thrown in
6 weeks until next half marathon = fucking AGES, will be fine
spring is coming
eventually I can go back to bed

Well said Polly

Morning everybody. What's the weather like today and can someone make me a coffee, please and thank you. I always make the coffee.

The swelling on your calf probably weighs 800g

Is filter okay? It's Java Sumatra in the grinder today.

Caulk you waited patiently for the offer of a coffee

Well I saw the dr. He's put me on another antidepressant on top of the citalopram. He wasn't as nasty as last time. Interestingly my friend who knows lots of mentally abnormals said she's heard he can be really unkind. I think he's past due retirement. He asked what had helped in the past, I didn't say anything, hospitalisation helped but it was horrible. I really appreciate all the support here.

I'm glad he was better. What's the new drug?

Mirtazapine, I was taking it before, but I stopped it.

Sorry you are having a hard time Up.

And prolly 800g is nothing- go and have a big poo

Saw my perinatal psych yesterday and she is already making noises about a planned stay in the m&b after I give birth. My DD1 starts school around my due date so I'm not convinced it would be a good time for me to disappear. But then again a couple of weeks IP is better than months of IP later if I get very ill again.

Prolly? Polly obvs. Have fat fingers can't type.

Anxious. Felt sick before lunch. Thought lunch might help.

Now feel really sick.

Bugger.

On the plus side at least I have something to be anxious about. Cc at 1.30.

God I really want to be sick. Stomach feels distended and backed up. Maybe it's a migraine.

(((( Ennn )))) I'm sorry you're feeling so horrible. Good luck with CC. Good luck with support group, ivy.

Thanks up

Hope we're both feeling better soon

Thanks. Make sure you tell them everything.

Ivy, I'm pleased that you have people looking after you
Ennn, hugs and good luck for later

Up, hugs for you too, in case you need them, I hope the new (old) meds are helpful

I'm coming out in sympathy with Polly, I'm lame on my near side leg, it started off as a tweak in my thigh and because I was walking like a knob, I think I've now tweaked by Achilles tendon. I often get a twinge (old running injury) and it goes away..
