How are you feeling today?

[BladeRunner]

I'm moving at the moment, and packing everything. Problem is I can't take much with me, so I need to get rid off all my furniture by having a company come and pay them for taking away my good stuff    My parents live just a few kilometres away, but not only do they not help me at all, but they won't even let me store stuff at their house, well I at least hope that I can take my CDs and books to them. And my mother's complaining about everything I do or want is pretty hard for me at the moment, especially cause I really need their help and it brings back bad memories  "£" Moreover, I've sprained my ankle or something of that kind and cannot even really walk. Sorry if everything sounds confused/confusing, but I'm very confused and panicky at the moment (actually all the time for quite some time).

Anxiety is a horrible feeling. Have you any form of treatment for it?

[BladeRunner]

I've got emergency medication ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorazepam )which is quite good and effectively calms me down (at least to some extent - and when I take it early enough), but I shouldn't take it very often because it seems to easily get you addicted. Also, I tend to take it especially when I've got panic attacks without an apparent reason - at the moment, I'm pretty sure the anxiety comes from the situation I'm in, so I mostly tell myself I should rather tackle the situation than take the sedative drug. I'm afraid, however, the anxiety arising from the situation is taking on a life of its own and making things even more difficult - I've experienced this quite often

Personally I'm on a medication for depression and a different one for anxiety. Might be worth talking to your doctor again and having a medication review?

i feel for you

have you thought about a medical bracelet with the details of your illness and medication when its sorted, i was told to get one as its an easy way to show your illness and for people to accept it,  well i was told something along those lines, the other reason for mine was due to the many meds and the high dosages i take if i had an accident for paramedics to see.   i havent got one though as jewelery scares me   i get paranoid its to tight or its going to get caught and rip part of my body off 

dont worry about being positive/negative here, your more likely to document the downs than the highs, i think we all are, i know i do. your not getting people down.

A medical bracelet is a really good idea, I have just bought one online and they will engrave it with all my details for me.
I usually wear jewelery lots and I have got a beaded medical bracelet so it will look like a normal bracelet but will still have my details.

thank you all for your comments and what a lot of feedback so I appolagise for not replying to them all, but you are all really great for feeding back with your thoughts and advice.

Yay for insomnia at 4am

[smirfy21]

I'm with you on that Alstare except I just sat at my window and watched an elderly homeless man go through the bins for food and shelter which was really sad.

No need to appoligise smirfy.
Glad my suggestion was useful

Insomnia sucks alstare, but I would prefer that to my antipsychoticks that knocks me out cold

It has just struck me what a wonderful place this is after reading through the posts since I left and went to bed.  I was feeling very glum and overwhelmed but I now feel sort of inwardly warmed the way everyone pulls together to help each other :)

[doublep]

Don't feel bad today, I'm at work and that keeps my mind busy on a Monday..

Had a stressful weekend, self harm on my arm Saturday night, seemed to get me back into reality at the time.  Although that has got a few people concerned now, I didn't want that, I did it for me, not some cry for help like they think.

If I thought I could help I would drive 100s of miles to help anyone on here and driving is a bad thing for me, in other words I would suffer to stop you from suffering.

I hate it when people think that, but I can understand why they do

I feel very much the same cornish, we are united in our adversity and I'd move a mountain if I thought it would help someone in need

[Lol]

Me to. But I think we are all doing that in effect on this forum. There is nothing more valuable than how we are helping each other on here by listening, understanding and offering non judgmental support. Even if we don't always get it right. Sometimes I think in many instances I don't think it would make much more difference to be physically with some one. I would go as far as to say that I don't think I have ever been so supported by a person who is physically in front of me!
