i'm the same give me freezin cold and sunny, rather than mild and miserable dark days.
seen gp this morning, and hes refering me to the muscular skeletal clinic at the hospital, there was a mention of steroid injections too, but even that will only give temprary relief:rolleyes:enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)0 -
Thanks for all your replies. Its nice to be thought of.
I want to reall rate the samaritans here- I'm sure many of you have used them, and I have used them in the past too. I spoke to them shortly after I posted on thursday. They called me back today to check I was OK, (they suggested) and was really good to hear someone elses voice as I live alone and my TV ariel stopped working properly with the latest switchover. I also went to my mental health care team, have plans with them now to cover me for the weekend- I really was sure I wasn't going to make it. Its still one half-a-step at a time, its too daugnting to think any further then the moment I am in. But its a little easier when I have set points to aim for: a phone call, (tonight) an appointment,(tomorrow and sunday) a therapy session (monday). I've no idea how things will be after that, they could be worse. But I'm hoping I can get through tonight right now. Tomorrow isn't a concern unless I think about it. And if I think about it, it becomes too much to deal with.
Just never fails to amaze me how fast my depression/anxiety/panic can occur, and how much time and energy it takes and will take to get myself back to square one again. I almost thought I had fully recovered from it. I thought I was furtehr ahead then this.0 -
i dreaded the esa medical when i had it, luckily (in some warped way) they caught me on one of my worst days and i was only subjected to 20 minutes of it before she disappeaed for 5 minutes then came back and told me it was over. then out of the blue the other week found out i was in the support group. i couldn't think straight at the time. luckily i had seen a list of possible questions beforehand so had gone through them with the friend who was going with me so they din't catch me off guard (which, being very paranoid at the time i thought they were trying to).This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

:hello:Everyone,
Morning! I wasnt online last night as I had to have an early night in readiness for today as I am meeting my boyfriends family for the first time,feeling slightly nervous as you can possibly imagine but I so hope they like me.
I have to go off very soon for the bus to meet my boyfriend and then we go over to his dads house.Got the family a box of chocs to eat as a present.
Jennie I rate the samaritans too as they were there for me twice when I needed them,just one chat and I felt heaps better.
Have a lovely day everyone!
love and light,

HiI'm not sure to be honest, I'm feeling a lot better now for some reason... it seems it can go from feeling awful to feeling ok at the flick of a switch...

hiya hope you are alright. i have felt much better then have taken 10 steps backward in a matter of days with no real reason. i guess it's the nature of the illness.
it's good that you are focusing on small steps, that is all you can do. i make myself ill looking too far ahead and worrying i won't achieve what i need to to get there. i struggle to take one day at time.
have you got a freeview box? that should sort out your tv problems, i picked one up from Asda for under £20 i think.
was the doctor any help?
sorry you're struggling...keep going, you're doing well.
