Slightly better today but still incredibly tired

Looks lovely Glen.  Any more to go round.

Right now keep going right hot and light headed when I try and do anything.  Just put some washing through.  Gave up and now sitting down with a cup of tea.

Thinking maybe its affecting me more as I am on medication.  I read in the leaflet for my meds that drinking alcahol while on them increases the effect of drowsiness.

Definitely a good idea to have a it down, do you think it might be worth phoning the surgery to ask advice if it continues?

[Sweetpea]

Will do if it continues.  I was told not to drive for 48hrs after the anaesthetic.  Just going to take it easy and do nothing for the rest of today, then see how I am tomorrow.

Sounds a good plan, do you feel OK apart from light headed?

[Sweetpea]

Yes I do and I am ok when sitting or lying down.  I just am terrible when it comes to giving myself time.  I see things need doing and want to to them.  Half the problem for being the way I am.  There is no pressure to do things in the house, Craig wouldn't mind if I did nothing and he is very good and will help, but I am such a perfectionist and like to do it myself.  Crazy. I know I should learn.  But its hard.

I'm exactly the same, I've been really irritible with this cold because I simply cannot do much physically without feeling I've run a marathon.

Wanting to do things ourself and being a perfectionist are a sure recipe for depression, I know as I do it too 

And it is very hard to change

That is something I could have typed! I'm exactly the same with Chris - he's happy today that I have been able to make two phonecalls and I'm under strict instructions now to rest until we go out for dinner tonight with a couple of friends - but I can see loads that needs doing, I know he'd do it without batting and eyelid, but I really feel like I should be doing that, and I probably will do some. Its incredibly frustrating! xx

[Sweetpea]

Not meaning to sound awful but I am so glad I am not the only one.  I watch Craig doing things like the hoovering and I think oh you've missed a bit or I do it like this.  I never say anything as I know he is trying to help me.  But I just can't help myself.  I hate sitting down when I know there is stuff I should be doing.

But hey we can't help the way we are can we?

Take care

Thanks everyone xx

Glen, I also thought it might be something to do with my age. When I saw my doctor last she said she was going to write a letter so this place that deals with counselling and medication for mental health but she said that they were unlikely to accept me because I hadn't had school counselling. She was also sending the same letter to my Head of Year with a note on the bottom explaining the situation. I don't know if she ever got the letter because she has never said she had. My doctor did promise me we would sort it and I do trust her, its just taking so long

They didn't have my blood test results either, apparently they didn't have all of them back and I have to call again tomorrow. 

Doublep, my doctor doesn't know what it is, she keeps testing me for all these things and they come back normal.

Shaz, I'm glad everything went okay for you and I hope you feel better soon x x

I feel a little miffed off but rather chipper (i think they word chipper needs to be used far more)

[doublep]

Had my fortnightly thing with the psychologist today.

I think I'm going to change things in my life and improve.

Anger needs looking at, got worse again, maybe the doc might up my dose

[Zaf]

Woke up at silly o clock and couldnt get back to sleep but both the cold and my mood seem to be improving so today's score is a 5 :)
