Glad you have had a good day Pip.Have you been up to anything nice?
Mine's been a mixed bag,started the day off really depressed+dint want to get out of bed but obviously had to force myself to go to work.The morning was a blur I didn't speak to anyone.Went to the pub on my dinner for a couple and subsequently had a better afternoon,as I felt more relaxed.Then tonight I had my group session at my well women centre which always helps as I am around fellow sufferers so we can share experiences and also the classes give us techniques on how to manage our symptoms and thought processes.Gotta go home now and pretend life is a peach but guess I can't stay in the pub all night.

Yesterday morning was spent out in the garden, it's only small but at least we can sit out there.  We were volunteering at the credit union in the afternoon so the walk there and home again were nice. 

Today has been good.  This morning I went through the place cleaning as I'm doing my cleaning duties at the back hall tomorrow as we've got credit union again then.  I felt quite accomplished by the time I had finished as I had also done a load of washing.  Our friends laugh because I love cleaning and washing dishing when my mood is low as I usually feel better afterwards.

Hope your appointment went well.

Have had a good day today.  This afternoon I got most of the veg prepared ready for tomorrow as we are short on helpers this week.  This evening we went out for a meal with a grand total of 11 of us.  It was great fun which was a relieve.  I'm partially deaf so normally I go quiet when a crowd of us are together as I find it hard to hear one conversation as all the voices sound like a babble of noise.  However tonight it was easy for me to follow conversations and everybody made sure I was included,

Glad your meal out went well,it's progress if you enjoyed it.I hate going out for meals cos I don't like eating in front of people and "catch up" meals mean people telling me what they are doing with their lives when mine is none existant.Docs went ok she told me to stay on 30mg mirtazapine for at least another four weeks so we shall see.
Hope you've got a chillout weekend planned.

Feeling exhausted today.  I used to hate eating in front of other people but have got over that since helping out with the lunch as we eat after everybody else has gone.  The friends we went out with last night we see regularly so we have plenty to chat about as we can guarantee at least one person has a drama going on or they've been on holiday.

We were out between 8 and 5.30 pm as we had to attend the AGM for the credit union.

Having a really bad day today feel so anxious and on edge to the point where I can't function.I can feel physical symptoms with it like my heart racing and am really fidgety.Started off ok this morning so am wondering why this is happening so out of the blue?
How is everyone else doing at the moment anyway?

Bad day here as well.  Started off with not sleeping too well last night and hubby woke me up at 7.00 am.  If I had the energy I probably would have screamed.  It;s been difficult to keep my eyes open until mid afternoon, now I feel more awake but hoping to sleep better tonight.

[ParsnipPierre]

Haven't felt like posting the past few days due to lack of sleep.  I haven't tried Nytol and am taking 40mg - 50mg of Amitriptyline a night.  When it has the right effect I sleep well and feel drowsy in the afternoon which I can live with for a good night's sleep  When it doesn't help I wake up with a severe headache verging on a migraine and sometimes feel sick during the day.

not the best of days, but not as bad as i was a few weeks back.

[Pip]

Feeling better than I have as I'm sleeping better.  Finding little things are setting me off being snappy but not so often.

[Pip]

Feeling happier today  :exc:

Glad to hear you had a better day yesterday.I'm feeling great today too I go on holiday tomorrow to Isle of Skye which is my favourite place so I can escape my dull,depressive and mundane daily life for a week at least.Scared about coming back though but trying to block that out at the minute.Take care
