Thanks for the new thread @Helplessandheartbroke Hope you start to feel a bit better soon, you were probably a bit more anxious knowing that you were going to be late with your meds so that doesn’t help does it!

I hope everyone has a good nites sleep tonite and a better day tomorrow x

Hi all, hope you are all having an easy night. I'm looking forward to a bath and an early night, today has just been a total write off xx

snowfoxglove · 17/04/2024 20:48

@hk1993x For me too, today has been a total write off. Like @Whycantgiraffesdance I hope everyone rests well today and we all feel better tomorrow. It's just one of those weird days, isn't it? @Helplessandheartbroke Thank you for being here lovely xx

Helplessandheartbroke · 17/04/2024 21:22

This is the kind of thread I was looking for! X

JamSandle · 18/04/2024 07:55

I also had an early night. I'm up early now and off into work. I really don't want to go. Just want to hide under the covers. But on the plus side it is a sunny day.

Wishing you all strength today.

Dawn1331 · 18/04/2024 08:08

Hi @Dawn1331 ! 👋

friend on here or from real life?! lol.

jbiscuits · 18/04/2024 09:54

Well I am finally up, showered and dressed. It's only taken me 3 hours. I had to get DH to do the school run this morning because I felt like I couldn't physically get out of bed, so I'm trying to think of this as a win.
Hope everyone else manages to find some small wins today too

hk1993x · 18/04/2024 10:01

Morning all. Woke up again in the same dissociative and sad mood. Got the mental health nurse coming at 10.30 this morning so will see what they say. I'm struggling big time and feel like I have no fight left in me but I keep picturing my dh and my kids and I am trying to fight for them.

It's just so hard. Hope you all have a good day 💚

Dawn1331 · 18/04/2024 10:19

@hk1993x hang in there it's not always going to be so bad. We're all here cheering you on x

Whycantgiraffesdance · 18/04/2024 18:05

Can I ask what brings you here @Dawn1331 if u don’t mind me asking? ☺️ I have PND and the anxiety which goes with it! Feel very supported by the lovely ladies on here though ❤️x

Dawn1331 · 18/04/2024 18:19

@Whycantgiraffesdance hey, I have anxiety, ocd and ptsd. I have been trapped in my head for a long time and struggled to process my feelings and to be able to have a community. Then I came on x

hk1993x · 18/04/2024 18:48

Hey I'm from Tillicoultry, clackmannanshire.

I've had a shitty day. Nurses are going to report back to the Dr and see what happens next, the meds obviously aren't working, the ect isn't working, I have number 6 tomorrow. Think I'm just looking forward to getting put to sleep 😔

Also been at the Dr's getting blood taken to check my general health 🫠

Has anyone had any experience with mood stabilisers? I'm trying to push to give them a try.

I've tried, sertraline, citalopram, mirtazapine, clomipramine, fluoxetine, quetipine all within 7 years. I'm sure I've missed one or two. I just don't feel like I produce any happy chemicals 🫠 xx

Ilovedogs1 · 18/04/2024 19:09

@hk1993x so sorry to hear you've had a bad day. I understand how disheartening it is having bad day after bad day. I spent 6 months like that last year but it did and does get better, it just doesn't feel like it atm and I know right now you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel but it is there.
Feeling quite ropey. Cold has turned into a chest infection. Lots of intrusive thoughts as usual in the back of my mind but tbh at the moment I feel to unwell and tired to even give them much energy.
Hope everyone else is ok. X

Dawn1331 · 18/04/2024 20:02

@hk1993x hen I feel the sane trued so many meds with not much success but it does exist. We're all here for you x

Helplessandheartbroke · 18/04/2024 20:29

Hey everyone, hope you're all feeling better now its bed time. I always do. Like @hk1993x it's comforting to know you can be asleep for a while and away for your thoughts although mine sometimes pop up in my dreams too, does anyone else get that?

@Ilovedogs1 hope you're better soon! Can you take a few days off work to recoup?

@Whycantgiraffesdance me and Dawn speak every day on WhatsApp its much more private we find.

I know I've said it before but if anyone wants a WhatsApp group let me know but I understand if not.

Sending virtual hugs all around x
