Back from walk, feeling a little bit better
It's actually a real comfort to know that it's not just me who suffers from this type of panic attack - when you are going through a bad phase, you really do think you are alone.
What makes it kinda hard for me is that because I am a very outgoing person, people don't actually take me seriously when I tell them that I suffer with this. Even doctors sometimes because I come across quite confident to strangers.

Sounds like you're a bit like me - in that you are outgoing etc and so people assume you're confident and fine and nothing will worry you. WRONG!

I can't help on the diazapan question though, I've not taken it.

So... healthy lunches for work then. Ideas needed please!

We have a toaster and a microwave and a fridge. I eat my main meal with OH at dinner time... around 7pm or so. But I'm always STARVING at work. I don't have time to eat breakfast before I get here. Help!

I never thought to bring tinned fruit - I love pineapple but fresh is really expensive but I could bring some tins instead. Thanks!

Does it make you feel 'out of it' or does it just chill you out a bit?
I'm terrible with taking medications, I always read the possible side effects list and it puts me off

make sure you only buy the stuff in fruit juice rather than syrup though otherwise not so healthy

It depends how high the dose is hun - i am only on 2mg four times a day to stop spasms in my back - it does chill me out even though it's such a low dose, i can tell if i haven't had it - but luckily have had no side effects - if you wanna know anything else PM me as i am also on Prozac xxxx

I haven't seen all of what you said but beta blockers can also calm you down - have had experience using them in the past - if you wanna know anything just PM me if you don't want it public - feel free to ask me anything xxxxx

afternoon, not had chance to read back will do that soon.

went for my first physio session today. my wrist has 0% movement backwards and 20% movement downwards, due to no muscle strength. have been given 3 different exercises to do every 2 hours :eek: to build the muscle strength up. going back in 2 weeks to see how I am geeting on. once I have built muscle strength up I will get exercises to help movement.

right, going to read back now to see how you all are xx
