Stillliving It's funny how it's not a one size fits all solution with meds isnt it, but glad you have found something that works for you. Yeah I remember the fuzzy migraine feeling for the first few weeks from last time. Not looking forward to that :(
allthings hope you are feeling better today. It's understandable you feel on edge with the last minute changes in terms of job flexibility etc that kind of thing normally throws me too. What does your DP say about the whole thing? Is he able to start later in order to do the school run? I had a similar situation with my work and my DH had to alter his hours slightly and his employers were totally fine with it. Please don't feel selfish though, you've done nothing wrong at all!
Bippity I'm so sorry you were spoken to so rudely. When I previously worked in customer services I used to get myself in a right state if a customer was rude. There are a lot of selfish, entitled people out there who don't care about other peoples feelings, believing the world revolves around them. People without anxiety issues will often say things like you need to develop a thicker skin if only it were that simple. Fingers crossed you'll never see that person again so try to put it behind you and carry on doing your job as you would normally.
Iblinked stupid railing haha! I normally overcompensate when pulling into driveways, reversing, parking etc. and if my DH is in the car with me he laughs because he says i have a ridiculous amount of room whereas i often feel i'm too close to other cars. It's just confidence and me getting used to my new car I think which is much bigger than the one i learned in. I LOVE the independence that passing my test has brought and i'm still driving daily, but i have at least 1 negative intrusive thought after every journey. Today's being the following.... when travelling to the supermarket I overtook a tractor on route. It was a long straight bit of road with good visibility...I could see oncoming traffic in the distance, but it was far enough away for me to overtake safely and get back onto my side without causing any issue. I completed the overtake, but then immediately afterwards kept feeling the need to glance in my rearview to check the tractor and traffic behind were unharmed. It's so odd...It's like i'm decisive, I know what i'm doing, everyone reassures me i'm a good driver, but i cant stop questioning myself. I've also googled on my phone since returning home to check there have been no accidents on that same road today. Honestly it's ridiculous. OCD is just horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Hope everyone else is ok today x
