BippityBoppity87 · 20/11/2018 16:27

Like night and day!

BippityBoppity87 · 20/11/2018 16:31

I said this on my other thread, but I know when my mood's changing as I get more flirty and friendly. Bounced into my work this morning, 6am put the radio on and started dancing haha.

BippityBoppity87 · 20/11/2018 18:53

I slipped at work today too. The floor was a bit wet and I didn't see it, my foot (with the bad knee) stood on it, slipped, heard a massive crack and I just sort of put my head on the table with lots of swearing I thought shit, this is it, I've fucked it. But I managed ok today, now it really hurts!

Fairydust26 · 21/11/2018 10:20

Oh no BippityBoppity87 how’s your knee feeling today?

BippityBoppity87 · 21/11/2018 10:30

It's still really sore. Dropped my son off st nursury. Rang the mental health team as I feel like my heart's beating outside my chest and I feel generally really angry and pissed off. Well they were a fat load of good! Just told me to ring the gp! It wasn't even them who prescribed the medication in the first place Angry

I wish there some plates I could smash to try and calm down.

Iblinkedandiamold · 21/11/2018 18:08

How are you now bippity? I got a lot of my frustration out last night in boot camp.
Got tickets for the Foo Fighters this morning. A little broke now. Who needs food anyway right Grin

BippityBoppity87 · 21/11/2018 18:33

Just generally angry and irratible. I honestly feel like I'm having a break down. I rang my therapist today who is chasing up an appointment with the psychiatrist, but she's says that he definitely wants to see me, so that's maybe good news I suppose! Or not 😕 My head's all over the place and I've started hallucinating because of lack of sleep

Iblinkedandiamold · 21/11/2018 20:05

That sounds promising but when will the appointment be, that's the problem. It's shocking that you have to wait so long when you clearly need and desperately want help.

BippityBoppity87 · 21/11/2018 20:09

I've actually considered buying a camera because I'm convinced there is someone living in my house. I had 4 pound coins sitting on the book shelf, went to get it this morning and it had gone! Asked my DP if he had taken it, he said no. Looked everywhere, checked my purse in case I had put it in there, emptied my bag, nowhere. So I rang my DP up probably quite manic and angry asking what he had done with it.

So yeah, I'm getting a camera now. The same thing happened with my ring that my mum bought me. It was similar to Kate Middleton's ring, blue sapphire and diamond and that disappeared too!

BippityBoppity87 · 21/11/2018 20:12

I know I probably sound crazy, but I'm really not! I'm more pissed off than anything!

Dmc2018 · 22/11/2018 10:55

Hope it’s okay I join? I need some support!
I was sick constantly during the first trimester and am having time off work because of it. Work are not supportive at all! I’ve asked to go back part time under medical advice and they haven’t replied, but have put me on half pay!
Now I’m in my second trimester (18+2) and the anxiety has kicked in massively! I’m scared about everything and finding it really hard to sleep or even relax. I’m currently taking 100mg of Sertraline on Doctors and Midwife’s advice but im worried this will affect my baby. Even though they’ve reassured me it won’t.
This is my first (AND ONLY) pregnancy - can someone PLEASE tell me it’ll get better when the baby comes?!

BippityBoppity87 · 25/11/2018 21:21

Hi @Dmc2018 Of course! Smile

I'm sorry you're having a tough time with your pregnancy. Work seems to not be helping with your stress clearly! I remember I was sick constantly, it was awful. Had to get anti sickness meds from the gp, which helped a little bit, but I was still being sick everyday, mainly when I was brushing my teeth! Not pleasant.

How are you getting on? Feeling any better? Hugs Flowers

Iblinkedandiamold · 25/11/2018 21:36

Hi Dmc2018, how are you feeling today? Sorry to hear work isn't being supportive, I can't tell you if it gets better, sorry.

Bippity how are you doing today? Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

LEMtheoriginal · 25/11/2018 21:38

Hello. Can i come in? I pop in and out.

Im not coping.

BippityBoppity87 · 25/11/2018 21:43

I'm feeling a lot better. Although I can never tell if this is just normal happy or if I've gone a bit too far if that makes sense? I've bought a few things, mainly a couple of coats, a gorgeous mustard scarf. Now eying up some leapord print shoes and some checked trousers lol. Oh and I'm thinking about dying my hair. Im going to waltz in on Friday with the therapist like a different person 😂 I usually just wear black or grey and haven't dyed my hair in years.

Hi LEMtheoriginal of course Smile what's been bothering you?

BippityBoppity87 · 25/11/2018 21:44

So yeah, I can kind of see where this whole bipolar thing has come from! But most people change their style sometimes surely?

ragingchocoholic · 26/11/2018 21:54

Hi everyone, is it ok if I join? Had a rough few days with my anxiety coming back and am struggling. Jusy did a post about it with a bit more detail x

Fairydust26 · 27/11/2018 09:18

Of course ragingchocoholic how are you feeling today?

BippityBoppity87 · 27/11/2018 20:07

If anyone wants a wee chuckle, I did an autocorrect fail when I was texting my partner this morning.

Basically I bought a coat and scarf which I ordered online earlier on in the week. Texting my partner 'Hopefully I'll get my scarf and my willy coat..' arghhh!! Woolly! I mean woolly!

Still waiting on my willy coat btw (and yes, it's stuck, so that's what I'm calling it) 😂

BippityBoppity87 · 27/11/2018 20:39

And I was in public when this happened, so laughed liked a mad woman on my own

Iblinkedandiamold · 27/11/2018 21:46

Grin that's really funny. I am watching the handmaid's tale. It is terrible. I want to read the book but I have a horrible feeling that there is no escape, that the whole world will follow suit. Being vague in case ye haven't seen it. I need to know everything works out oksy.. I'm invested now.

ragingchocoholic · 27/11/2018 23:38

I'm feeling a bit better today at least I was during the day, took the day off uni after not being able to sleep all night because of the anxiety so slept all morning and spent the rest of the day doing a jigsaw and reading my new book. But now it's the evening and my mind has gone into overide overthinking everything that could possibly go wrong as well as triple checking every door and window is locked in the house in case someone tries to break in. I know it's ridiculous but I can't help but want to research how much and how to have a safe room/ panic room in my house just in case.
