How are you feeling today?

[Glen53]

Sorry to hear you feel this way Holykimura. Its so hard on our OHs during these times. Have you tried sitting her down and quietly explaining how these feelings prevent you from facing the daily grind? How, if you go against the feelings and push yourself, you could end up feeling worse? Has she seen you like this before?

Try if you can to remember the better days - they will come again. Before Xmas you had some good times - try to think of these as something to aim at whilst you rest up oin the days to come.

I will be thinking of you both and i hope you feel better soon.

Thanks guys means a lot  I have sat her down and spoke to her, she's frightened for the future I have tried to explain that I need some time off work, but she thinks that it will not be good for me as I be stuck at home on my own. I'm planning on ringing my GP to speak to him about having some time off, but I'm scared of my OHs response, I see it as a positive request, but somehow I don't think she will. thanks again :)

Im ont feeling very good today so called in sick, I didn't feel I could face the day. My OH is supportive but I don't know how to tell her that I don't feel like going in all week I have been taking lots of diazepam just to get me through the day I just don't feel like I can cope without it. My OH is understandably annoyed at the situation, and I know she's going to try and push me to go to work later this week. All I feel like doing is going back into bed and telling her to get on and pretend I'm not here hope you all are having a better day than me x

take it a day at a time Holykimura, try not to worry about the 'what ifs' it will make things worse xx

[doublep]

I echo what Zaf has said above, day by day, don't worry over the what ifs and buts.


Had another poor nights sleep, its getting stupid now.
I end up going to sleep later than normal now, and waking up earlier than ever.
Fell asleep at 12.30am, woke up at 3.45am, and I mean wide awake.  Just laid in bed until my 5am alarm went off.


Right now I would love to take time off work because I'm so exhausted and my stress levels raise higher and higher depending whos at work (idiots, like today) but the Dr thinks its best for me to stay busy.  Which is true.

insomnia is a curse   have you anything you can take to get you off to sleep?

[Holykimura]

 Thanks Zaf and double p, I am going to try tot take it one step at a time. I have just freaked my OH out as stupidly od'd on my medication I had 14 mg of of lorazepam and 8 mg of diazepam, I'm just so despertate and don't want to be here any more ,<=

Nope, Dr palmed it off to do with the citalopram at the moment.

Hi zaf excuse me if it's a bit poor and lame but I don't have a lot of energy today, when I'm well I find tha camille (sp) is supposed to relax you. And I've also be told that eating chocolates or coffee eight hour before you decide to go to be helps too. Failing that there is Zopiclone which I took for about 6 weeks, my doctor prescribed then to me, but bre carefully they are addictive x

hope you feel better soon H

I use antihistamine to get me off to sleep sometimes,  I didnt like like using the diazepam as I was worried I might get addicted to it,  antihistamine makes you drowsy (as long as you dont take the anti drowsy type!) and seems to slow my brain down enough for me to get to sleep most times if I need it.

Hey there. An overdose is a horrible thing, luckily that's not a fatal dose,  but depending on your tolerance to them and how long you've been takeing them you may feel absolutely horrific for a little while.

From experience of my failed overdoses it's the horrific aftermath of it when it's not lethal, you can do some serious permanent damage and be in horrific pain for a while

Hi Cornish I think if you are talking me about it I know what I've done is stupid, and now I regret it but it was cry for help, I don't have my mother who I loved dearly and miss her, my father is an alcoholic and I dont want to burden him with my problems, he's just come out of hospital with severe pancreitas, my OH is depressed too but not to my extreme, I have a brother who when the &$%+ hits the fan he'll be there but he's old school "if you want to kill yourself do it properly" and then there's kids who I love to bits and that's meant from every bit till the bottom of my heart :) and my other half is becoming increasingly unwell and is in tears his morning telling me I indeed to be strong which I mustering as much strength as I can. I feel kind of  "£$

Everyone seems to hate me people are saying that i am going out with this boy when I am not and they won't drop it. I told them that its not really their business and they started having a go at me. I'm still feeling really unwell and I'm so tired. I just feel so defeated and I really want to give up
