Anyone else sad and want to hand hold?

Mumsnet has really helped me pull put of a possible breakdown and while I'm out of the worst of it, I'm still very sad. I'm crying to myself now so I can put on a brave face in the morning.

I'm on 60mg and 40mg propranolol! I needed high doses at the time x

@Helplessandheartbroke
ive always taken 20mg and in the past it worked but gosh I know about it when I try and stop it . It still get anxious on it but no where near as bad as with out it. Will see how I get on this time round. One negative I notice though is the lower libido :-(

I have started with jaw ache too and that is just 5mg. It’s not too bad. I took my tablet a bit earlier yesterday as it was keeping me up during the night. I hope it doesn’t get worse.

I don’t know if it’s possible so soon but I do think I’m starting to feel brighter - just more awake, I’m hoping that makes sense. Like the baseline lethargy is starting to dissipate.

hope everyone else is doing well.

Morning all.. I’ve woken up with the anxiety worse that ever ! I have to keep telling myself that this always passes! Again I have no appetite, butterflies in stomach. Feel tense and jaw ridgid ! It’s always way worse for me in the morning. Have to work now and of course would rather not. At least the disassociated feeling that I had at the weekend is not here . Small
mercies eh … sending support to those who may need it

Oh @Cien75 that doesn’t sound good. I hope your day gets better. 🌷

@SunQueen24 thanks yes I really hope it eases off !am at work still not eaten :-( literally no appetite. I can afford to lose some weight but obviously this is not good is it. When the get like this I tell no one partly because I fear for my job

I am on day 6 of meds and my god the headache yesterday was horrendous but I am starting to feel better in my moods - is that a usual experience?

Hi how are we all coping ?

Cien75 · 16/08/2024 08:45

Morning all. Well I’m relieved to say it’s starting to ease this anxiety hell. I’m still no way near normal but it’s easing. Mine not ruminating quite so much. Butterflies less a little more energy.
@Helplessandheartbroke and @SunQueen24 how are you fairing today ? X

SunQueen24 · 16/08/2024 09:50

@Cien75 so much better thank you, Aunt Flo came a few days early which threw me out and I think the awful headache was a combination of both the meds and PMS.

Hope everyone has a good day.
