Thanks guys.

All the doctors I've seen before have said that too, crazy_girl. This is the only one so far who has taken me seriously. I had Glandular Fever this year and I was also anaemic but I'm better now and still exhausted. Been having other symptoms that I've been trying to ignore too (to the extent where I won't be around OH when I'm experiencing them incase he worries about me) but it's got to the point where I can't take it anymore.

hope you get some sense/ help out of the doc

i dunno if any of you will understand this, im trying to put how im feeling into words, its starting again and it niggles at me all the time, it feels like ive always forgotten somthing, like i need so do something drastic, like im causing every single problem with every single person who knows me. im worried that im going to get in my car and drive off again or od or cut myself again which is kinda extra bad coz my blood dosent clot too well. i just feel like screaming and shouting and ripping the whole flat apart and i dont want to be here if i have to keep doing this.

Please remember that this thread is for support. I'm sure you mean well, but more often than not you come across as judgmental rather than helpful.

Ah the old judgemental word. very rarely seen outside depression. try swapping the word observational for judgemental and see how much better it feels.
There are lots of other word swaps that can help but that is a good one to start with.

Hey everyone!!
Still on my artificial high from the steroids. Had a great day ay work - did so much I was proud of myself!!! Came home. cleaned the oven, went shopping, cooked tae and spent an hour on the phone with my dear,dear friend who emigrated to Oz in August. I miss her - we've been through the best and worst together and never, ever had a cross word. When I was poorly a couple of weeks ago she was so worried she called my Dr but he was able to calm her down and tell her he was on his way to see me. This is the same guy who treated her mum when she was dying of cancer. It meant Iris could be at home - great GP's are few and far between - don't get me wrong - I'm not down on Docs or the NHS but the difference between a good one and a great one is unbelievable!
I love being able to work and look after my family - its all I ask for really. Just to be well enough to do what I need to do instead of feeling like a wuss with a crap,unpredictable body.
CG - how did it go with physcotherapist? Could this be part of the reason you're climbing the walls tonight? Its disturbing to start probing and then be told to go away, we'll get back to you. Leaves you kind of dangling . . . . .

crazy_girl

could be jennihen, didnt think of that. he told me i might have BPD and i have to go back next week then the assesment will be done and ill have to wait to find out if it will work for me and then again for it actually start and it might not be the same bloke!

glad you had a good day, sounds like you got more done than ive done all week!

CG I understand what you're saying; I tend to agree with Jennihen that it's to do with your visit to the psych. Hang in there mate. (((HUG)))

Jennihen wow, I felt tired just reading the amount you managed to do! Well done. Can I have some of your energy please?:D
