Depression

I think you should go to the docs feely...we know they cant cure us, but it helps them to know what we are going through and it may help them in the future with other patients.

I know what you mean about feeling anxious when you are not cleaning...when I feel "jumpy" I try to keep myself as busy as possible, hubby is great and knows the signs so lets me get on with it. The minute I sit down I always feel as though I "have" to get back up n find things to do...drives me nuts. When we clean our mind is occupied with something, and we feel a wee bitty safer/normal, the minute we stop all the thoughts just come flooding back.

Im going to stay in today incase the hospital call about a cancellation for tomorrow, I wouldnt be happy going out as I would worry the whole time that I had missed their call!! bizarre eh!

I am seeing the doctor reasonably regularly, was suppose to go back on the 27th to get a new sick note, but haven't. I think I can manage another 9 days without going back, so will do that.

OH gets a little annoyed with my cleaning - I watch him like a hawk incase he has dirty anything, and as soon as he has put his cup down I grab it and wash it up lol. He is under instructions now to not touch anything in the dining room or kitchen with washing his hands first. They are my 'safe' rooms at the moment.

Hope you get the call, waiting for something like that must be very hard.

At the minute, I have a washing on...one waiting to go in, have done the first basin of dishes and the plates are soaking...windows are opened, candle burners on lol!!

Try and explain to OH(if you havent already) why you feel the need to do the cleaning, I sat with Hubby and explained to the best of my ability why I did what I did and it helped him to understand.

I dont even want to use the house phone incase I miss the call...talk about ocd!! Going to sort out a wee bag for the hospital too, it will keep me busy!

OH doesn't understand any of my odd behaviour, its best if he just ignores it and I don't mention it. Then he can pretend that I'm happy and well

Can't use the washing machine at the moment, the kitchen isn't clean enough.

You gave me some smiles for sure Sorry you don't feel well... hopefully that will improve soon x

I don't think I've got that carpal wotsit.. I hope not anyway.. gp said its probably a trapped nerve, after a few weeks of it.. I can understand why you can't stay at the pc very much, it's bad enough for me with one arm.. I really feel for you having it in both *huggs*

Feelie.. try n get to the doctor when you can.. if he doesn't know how you're feeling then he can't put things in place to try and help you, even if it's only a little bit of help. You've got so many positives to look forward to, but you need some extra help to make sure you can enjoy it fully and make success come easy to you.

Too late now anyway.
There isn't any extra help available

I have the opposite.. when I'm anxious I get really dozy and sort of vegetate. Then people think I'm lazy and I bollocked for that, lol

Hope you get the call you want xx
