Feeling er really down and also a bit panicy. Going to visit somebody over the next few days, but I've only let myself go on the weekend and now there's nothing done here, absolut chaos, no clean clothes  :-[ and I can't wash any here. Moreover, it's my Mum's birthday and I will only be able to call instead of visiting (not that I would have liked to *g* - but I hope she won't be disappointed). WIll be difficult to catch up with my stuff when I will be back.. hmm. Also got a doctor's appointment at 8.30 am tomorrow, but I'm afraid the medication isn't really working. Well and of course I'm anxious about pretty much everything awaiting me in the future  %^&

Have a nice day everyone! All the best!

take a deep breath blade runner and tackle the urgent things first, the rest can wait :)

Not really sure how I am.... yesterday was an awful day  >:( I had work in the evening (5.30 - 9.30) and I was so anxious all day... Chris took me and Benji out to some local woods in the afternoon, to try and take my mind off of it all and I usually love it and it was so beautiful, but I just ended up sobbing into his shoulder in the middle of the woods, and then we got completley lost, which just sent my anxiety sky high....
Work was ok... although I felt quite out of my depth at times. My boss rang thismorning to ask about some shifts and I asked if she would be able to find cover for wednesday night (I'm meant to be doing the 10 hour night shift) as I simply just don't feel like I wouldnt be able to cope with it and I'm already anxious about it! didnt get dressed until after lunch ( :-\) today and would have quite happily crawled back into bed, but my friend texted to see if I wanted to go over to her for coffee... so, I did, which was nice. But I'm just so tired, so anxious, I'm getting nervous over everything, I'm missing people I shouldn't miss, irritatable at stupid little things, not eating much and knowing that I'm slipping back pretty quickly  >:( I don't have the fight to try and keep stopping myself. Yesterday in the woods It crossed my mind that there was an accident, if I was to fall (there was an area where there was quite a drop...) or, if there was an accident on the way home, it would be taken out of my control and I wouldn't have to fight anymore, it'd all just be over.... (Seems like we both had a day of dark thoughts Zaf!) Scared - I guess thats how I'm feeling today...
This too shall pass.

It seems an easy way out doesnt it :( 

Is all the messing about with your meds causing this do you think?

I'm not sure... the past fortnight has been quite steady. 200mg Trazadone at night & 37.5mg Venlafaxine every 48 hours (Give or take a few hours...)  :-\ I'm hoping its just that, I have the doctors tomorrow, so will hopefully discuss it with him then.  He seemed really positive about my progress when I saw him a fortnight ago though, so I'm just going to feel like a massive let down tomorrow  :'(

just had an appointment with my gp, i was at least 40 mins late due to a HUGE anxiety/panick attack, he was really good about it and said i never need to explain my self if its that sort of situation, what a relief :)    really not  been doing well for the past ummm well i dunno :(
my gp is now makeing my appointments for me and he really wants me to go back to doing weekly appointments like i should :( not likeing that, he also want to sort out weekly medication reviews at the same time with the specialist there too.   i held back a lot again as im fairly sure if i open up about how i feel then i wont be allowed to leave, its come close to that before so i sort of know what i need to hide to be able to leave again
If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

It sounds like your GP is trying his hardest to get things sorted out for you cornish, hopefully going in weekly will get things moving in the right direction even though its something you really dont want to do

Munchroom you must NEVER feel like you are a let down!!! Look at what you have done recently! You have been working quite a lot, been on a meds course, you have really helped a lot of people on here - me in particular, you have been seeing friends, you have been on a train, you have hosted the party of the year at your house, and from the sounds of it catered it pretty fantastically too!!!!! WILL YOU PACK IT IN!!!!!!!!!!???? The only thing you are guilty of is doing a bit too well recently and frankly freaked yourself the hell out a little bit! Is it ANY wonder? You have been doing really really well and now you're a bit pooped! Be proud, understand your body, understand your condition, put two and two together and realise that if you run a marathon, no matter how hard you have trained for it, you will still be exhausted.

It is ok to do too much and feel a bit put back, as long as you expect the trade off. Just like if you drink a bit too much you're going to have a hang over; if on the night you're just having a blast, you have a think about the trade off and decide the hangover will be worth the good time and you make the choice. Don't you dare go to your doctor tomorrow and NOT tell him all the wonderful 'normal' stressful things you have been enduring recently.

You have been doing really really well. This is only a temporary feeling, it will pass. Be proud not disappointed.

I was saying to Zaf yesterday, dark thoughts are normal, they are just exploration, nothing to worry about. Let us know if it ever gets more than that.

Cornish is it completely a bad idea to let it all out and not be allowed to leave so to speak? Is holding back hindering your progress? I don't really understand what being locked up would entail, can you explain it to me?

Well I dont really know, I just can't open up fully as it scare me to talk about some of it, even on here I haven't said everything thAt I want to say.

The main reason is due to my irrational fear of hospitals, just couldn't cope in there, by locked up I mean in a mental health ward/ hospital

I know it's not helping but I can't do it yet
