crocs are the most amazing shoes in the world They're soo comfy - I can walk all day in mine and no aching feet at the end of it... which is a huge boost for me cos I've always got sore feet.

I've got a red pair and a pale blue pair and I'm looking to expand my collection when funds permit, hehehe

Hi All
Is anyone on Citalopram? Been on it a week now and can't function properly. Was told I could take it during the day but nearly fell asleep at the wheel of the car yesterday so won't be doing that again. I feel sick too. I am going to stick with it because I need some help but was just wondering if anyone else is on this.
If the effects are being a bit too rough on you hun, go back to your gp as they'll probably be able to give you something initially to counteract the worst side-effects while it's settling into your system. You don't want to put yourself at risk hun. I'm sure you've been told this already by the rest of the family here angel.
It really would be a good idea to talk this over with your gp sweetie.;) Don't leave it angel as some tablets need to be taken at a specific time of day. This may be one of them. It really can make a difference to how the med works, so before you change the times hun, ask the doc.;)

We're all having crap times right now but it's so good to know you can switch on the pc and you have help and support from people on this thread./quote
I know - aren't they fantastic karrie?:T :A Sorry for being about 4 pages behind everyone else but you've seen what kind of week it's been.:eek: Take care angel.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
I hope your side-effects have calmed down a little hun.

Thanks Tiff. All that you're going through and you still have time to send a reply for me.

Well I seem to be sinking deeper and deeper into that grey tunnel again. I just don't want to do anything. I don't want to see anyone. I literally had to make myself go to work last week. It was hard and I can't see it getting any easier at the moment. I have bad nightmares (people trying to kill me) and morbid thoughts. These worry me because I know I wouldn't do anything to myself but why am I having them? I can sit on the settee and just daydream for hours, about nothing in particular. I am getting really angry with myself for feeling like this. I tell myself to pull myself together but I just can't. I am going to see doc on Tuesday morning and would love for her to sign me off work. I love my job but it's so so hard to get out of bed in the morning. I can't even decide what to wear so just throw anything on wether it's ironed or not. I even went to work on Friday without brushing my hair!! I thought I would be improving by now but if anything, it's getting unbearable. I have failed my son by being like this.

I'm even thinking of finishing with my partner of 4 years because I feel his life would be better without me in it.

My son was threatened yesterday by the usual bully boy. He told him to get of a bit of green where my son was playing and told him he was going to "smash his f***ing face in". Anyway, I was in the mood for a temper tantrum so told my son to go back to where he was playing and hid behind some trees. Didn't take long for bully to come back. Throwing stones at my son and shouting "your mum is a f****ing b**tch" and "we're gonna get you." I walked out from behind the tree and the boys face was a picture of shock. He ran for his life. I'd really had enough but didn't get a chance to confront the little ............

I just want to curl up and disappear at the moment. I don't want to write that but it's true right now and I don't want it to be.

OMG how brave am I?? Bully boys gang pushed my son off his bike and started kicking his bike. I went and spoke to bully boys mum. I was shaking with anger and could hardly speak. She brought them all round to apologise and one even shook my sons hand!! The bully boy denied calling me names yesterday and throwing stones at my son but his mum didn't believe him when I told her I had be watching and listening. I really don't think it will make a difference but next time, I will be getting the police involved.

Right am going to go and curl up again now.

Just found this part of the forum

I have been feeling "down" for a few months now and it doesn't seem to getting any better. I'm not sure if it's depression or not....When i look at a list of symptoms i tick nearly every one!! but the things that make me sad/angry are mostly things out of my control.

Have been thinking about going to the doctors for a while but as i said previously i'm not sure what medication will do....will it just make things seem easier to deal with?

I would appreciate any advice/support from people who are/have been in the same position.

Thanks alot
Kate

Hi Karrie,Sorry you are fealing so bad at the moment try and hold on to the fact that it WILL get better you just need time for the meds to kick in,when you go to the doctors don't forget to mention the side effects you have been having and if you feel unable to work tell him.The nightmares could possibly be a side effect too so mention them to your doctor.It sometimes helps to write things down so you don't forget.If your partner loves you,which i am sure he does how would his life be easier if you broke up with him?If we love someone we are there for them through the ups and downs.Do not say you have failed your son! that is the depression talking from what i can see you are a great mum.Well done for sorting out the bullies at least their mum made them apolagise and hopefully they won't do it again.I think you coped very well considering how ill you are fealing so be proud of yourself.
