So here I am again, today has been awful and I have no way to get into my Facebook (not ignoring you who joined my group) I've finally been diagnosed with something that explains a lot that's going on.

Sorry for being vague but those of you who know who I am will know

I can't sleep because I'm worrying about the doggy

My last doggy died in similar conditions and I can't get them out my head 😭😭😭

NolongerAnxiousCarer · 28/07/2017 23:45

So sorry to hear that, I had a very poorly fur baby earlier this year, its so hard to see them so poorly. What has the vet said?

Aww look at him Grin

Not looking good but we will see.
How is everyone else getting on

NolongerAnxiousCarer · 29/07/2017 12:33

I'm pretty good thank you, DH seems stableish and I am still increasing my hours at work gradually, pretty much back to full duties now. We are seeing a family therapist organised by DHs MH team to deal with how his diagnosis affects us both and our relstionship. Life is generally good.

So sorry to hear about your poor doggy, sending lots of love and good wishes to you both.

WristBitch · 04/08/2017 23:20

That's brilliant anxious Smile so glad it's going well for you.

Wolfie you found your purse?!!!

Wolfiefan · 05/08/2017 06:10

Nope. No idea what I did with it! Anxiety does not help ensure calm and methodical searching. Cards cancelled. It also had some cash, loyalty cards and a membership card. Meanwhile I have no way of spending money. Actually that might not be such a bad thing! Grin

NolongerAnxiousCarer · 05/08/2017 16:07

My purse normally turns up about 5 mins after I've cancelled all my cards Grin

Hows your poor puppy?

Wolfiefan · 05/08/2017 19:02

I cancelled them yesterday. Spent hours hunting.
Just found it in the bloody car. Doh! But at least I have the cash and membership/loyalty cards and purse and I know nobody spent my money!
Poor puppy is exhausted. Up at 5 for a dog show. Second best puppy bitch!

Oh my lovely. Yes sometimes I do. And running away too. Any RL help?

WristBitch · 08/08/2017 22:38

Nope no rl help, well there's one person who is awesome but she has her own shit. I'll get myself threw as usual Smile

Wolfiefan · 08/08/2017 23:00

I didn't mean friend. I was thinking more actual professional support. Flowers

WristBitch · 09/08/2017 22:45

I've tried that, I am medicated and currently waiting for another appointment as I have a problem that sets all this off, if that makes sense.

While I'm waiting though I am taking steps (small but still steps) to help myself.

I had really good news today and I'm happy for that so erm yea without being outing, yea I'm counting down to something I would never thought would happen this time last year Grin

Wolfiefan · 09/08/2017 22:47

That's great! And yes. Small steps is the way forward. I was on citalopram. Stabilised then crashed and needed to up dose. Had CBT and slowly came off it. Sometimes you need a meds review.

WristBitch · 09/08/2017 22:54

CBT I found made my worse, but I was dealing with a few bereavements at the time so I wonder if that's why, I've been on 60mg flouxotine for 9 years with a few anti psychotics chucked in

NolongerAnxiousCarer · 09/08/2017 23:02

(((Wrist))) sorry to hear things are still tough at the moment. I dound the psychologist I saw made things much worse. Not sure what approach he used but I felt like I was under attack in my appointments. The one I'm seeing with DH for family therapy is very different though, much more softly softly. I find a few days later that I have a small but significant shift in my thinking. I think getting the right therapist may make more difference than the type of therapy.

Hope things pick up for you soon x

Wolfiefan · 09/08/2017 23:03

Maybe a review is worth a try? My crisis was work related but I now realise I had been ill for a long time. My CBT was hard going but it gave me strategies to lift my mood. I found it helpful.
Bereavements make everything harder and mess with your head so much. CBT with that going on? I don't think I could have done that. Flowers

Wolfiefan · 09/08/2017 23:04

X post carer. That sounds great. Really positive.

WristBitch · 09/08/2017 23:07

I feel like she bought up shit I forgot and made it worse, now I'm constantly doubting my parenting and everything my dd does Hmm I know it's called ruminating or whatever but it's driving my crazy (er)

Wolfiefan · 09/08/2017 23:14

My CBT wasn't about shit from my past. It was about finding balance in each day. What needed to be done? What routine should I follow? What things do I enjoy and need to fit in? It also worked to counter my batshit thoughts and silly circular thought patterns. Maybe the wrong person doing it?
