God...I just don't know what's wrong with ME...

[pucca]

I thought I would just sound off here, as it may help to get it all down. I just can't snap out of this downer I am on at the moment at all.

All I am doing at the moment is cry (alone of course) and I just seem to be walking round in robotic mode and glaze over at trivial day to day chit chat.

Not in a happy place at all, and I really need to snap out of it as I am no use what-so-ever to my ds like this.

Try and get some sleep, you sound a bit depressed pucca -understandable I know, but see if you don't feel any happier in a few days in may be worth a visit to the GP. Meantime do nice stuff for yourself. Fav things to eat, nice bath that kind of thing,

I would also suggest seeing GP..I just did, and they were really nice, feel slightly better already, was in the same place as you.

pucca, things have been tough recently, take some time for yourself and do something nice, tea and chocolate cake are incredibly therapeutic amongst other things. As the other ladies have said, if it doesn't improve see your gp. And do come back here and have a whinge if you need to.

When it all gets too much, I find if I get out and go for a walk, that can help, with or without the tears. The evenings are getting darker and daylight and exercise are helpful.

And then go and see your GP and talk to him/her.

and as Bigcar says, there's always this forum

I think most people on here can relate to that horrible and lonely feeling. Even if you're not alone, you feel as though you are. Even when people tell you they understand, you believe they don't. Even the people who you know really do. Try to remember that you don't always feel like this and that it will pass.

If possible, put some time aside for you. I know it can be really difficult, but really try. Do you have a partner or any really good friends that you could just unload on a bit. Or maybe they could babysit while you get out the house and clear your head.

Sending a big hug anyway. :)

Bite the bullet and go to see your Dr i've just been over something else but mentioned I was having awful mood swings and breaking down all the time got upset there.She couldn't of been nicer even though I was embarrassed to tell her.

Thanks everyone, I knew if anyone would understand it would be all of you.

I am very stubborn when it comes to myself and going the doc (ironic really haha) but I will see how I fare over the next couple of days and go and see the GP if I don't feel any better.

Well I have been to see the G.P this morning and ended up in tears (tbh it is a rare thing now-a-days if I DON'T cry) he has put me on 30mg of Nortriptyline and I have to go back in 2 weeks to see him.

He was very nice, but admitted he "knew" but said he was glad I admitted it to him.

glad you went, since I started my ADs I haven't cried once,had been crying every day too.

that's good you went pucca, it's hard to find time to do things for ourselves

Well done pucca. Really hope that the drugs help you.

Thanks

I must admit I am a bit about Anti-D's and have refused them in the past, but atm I DO need help.
