Hi Saz, we are just about organised...I am hyper...nerves are all over the place-this always happens before we go away!

Badgie...we have lots of plans for our time in London, usual touristy stuff-london eye, tour of parliament, bus tour, tower of london, show and my birthday!

Feely...hugs...I get indigestion with my AD's, the thing that helps me is drinking milk or an actimel after taking them, or lots of fluid.

Hiya Lexi...nice to meet you :wave:

Pumpkin, LTD, AG, Tiff, Suzie_soo, geminilady, blinky, QB, and anyone else i have missed hugs and :kisses3:

I dont think I will be back online until Tuesday, so take care of each other, sending you a weekends worth of fairy dust and hugs.

Have a lovely time Carol sweetheart, but don't overdo it! :wave: Send us a postcard!:D:D Love Sazxxx

Thanks, well I guess I'll just say that I've been feeling low for a while, am seeing a counselor and have a nice doctor who perscribed me with citalopram which has just got upped to 40mg. I know anti depressents arn't for everyone but they seem to be helping me. I just wish I had more energy. Trying lots of things like joining the gym (thanks to this wonderful sites loophole finding) and things.

Find it a bit weird thinking of depression (though I can see this thread is anything but all gloom) because part of me is just this happy positive person but then ths other half is coming home getting into bed and not wanting to ever get back out. Ugh, don't know if this is normal.

It is normal to feel like that Lexi - a lot of members have mentioned how they miss the bubbly person that they were - but things will get back to normal once you start getting better - the happy, postive you will be there more and more often

Exercise is a great idea and will help - stick with it, as it can be hard to motivate yourself at first. Healthy eating is a fab thing aswell - lots of fresh fruit and veg.

Have you discussed any talking therapies with your doctor?

Yeah have been seeing a conseller, but I get stressed out about the idea of going before I have to go, though feel better after. Think it's ok though. I feel fine in the day then in the afternoon/evening I seem to hit a low. Looking forward to getting gym membership through as I'm going to force myself to go to the gym whenever I feel a bit low.
Have managed to get out of habit of spending to give myself a short term boost though, which I'm so glad about :T and this site is helping me get right back on track.

I'd love to know about everyone on here but I'm sure I'll pick things up from people from reading. Thanks for welcoming me

welcome in lexi and hiya everyone

I think the stress is getting to me... my lip has come up in a huge lumpy scabby thing.. I've googled coldsores and it doesnt look like one of those.. b/f thinks I must have bitten it in my sleep or someting but it looks like I've been punched :eek: and it really hurts

I took two temazepams last night.. cos I knew i didn'[t have to worry about getting up this morning and guess what? it made no difference at all! I was soo looking forward to a zombie sleep and nothing.. i just felt a bit woozy and my eyes went a bit funny, lol

I need to go to bed now cos i've to leave the house by 8ish in the morning and wont be home til 8.30 seeing a counsellor at 8.45 and then got uni til 7 grrrrrr

take care n big huggs to everyone xxxxxxxxx

Big hugs for you Ethel

Sorry that things are still so busy for you, sounds like you need a break - hope things calm down for you soon. If you need a rest from Uni, talk to them, they will understand.

Good luck with the counsellor - I'll be sending you hugs tomorrow morning. Maybe pop in to a pharmacy about the lip thing? Scab seems to suggest its a coldsore, they do all look different, and if it is, you might want to get some cream - they get really sore.

Hope you sleep well tonight sweetie xxxx

Another bad day is drawing to a close. One major problem for me is my Dermatillomania, I really wish I knew how to stop. I am definately going to try and mention it to my doctor - the one I'm seeing now doesn't know I don't think, so I'm going to have to be brave and tell, and also show him the full extent of it. It makes me so unhappy, but I can't not do it Bed time for me I think, I'm stinging all over and want sleep. Night night all, hope you all get some sleep. Thinking about youx

Had a more restful PM today, after mopping up my leaky washing machine door seal.

But it wasn't to last, my son lost his mobile phone but someone honest found it and he will collect it tomorrow,

Why do things pile up when you need to relax? I had yet another spoilt meal tonight due to stress. I make lovely meals but something spoils it and my stomach feels like it turns to lead once it happens. I'm getting to the stage where I would like to eat alone most of the time. Eating with my family is stress city. The subjects that get bought up are so stressful, it puts me off my food.

All this on top of needing to rest before we have viewers and keeping the house nice. I feel everything is trying to sabotage me moving on. I feel I can't ever get what I really want and need, someone or something always f**ks it up for me.

Why should getting a happy peaceful home ever happen for me?, the noisy inconsiderate people follow me wherever I go, they just have different faces. Am I destined to have hell for the rest of my life? Normally, I can be strong and go for what I want but my negative family get to me when I aspire for something else and try and keep me in my dependent state with the lines of - the world is uncaring, you will get lonely and you can't afford it, like it is not meant for me.

My destiny is enduring annoying people till they die, like my mum did with my dad. She was 70 when he died and had 40 years of hell with him. I have been with my husband for 25 years, why do people stay together when they are unhappy with them?

I have overdone it getting this place ready to sell and been unable to relax, due to irritating things such as noisy kids screaming for 4 hours on Tuesday evening when I need to rest.

It gets me more tense, can't relax, things get more annoying, and so forth - a vicious circle. I am so overtired and scared to relax when I can. I need a break but too tired to do anything about it. I need people to back off and let me rest!!!!

Hi guys, just got back from work about 30 minutes ago, nearly there with everything, god bless my parents, I owe them a lot, and when im sorted and down the road ill be a lot better.

Thanks for the support guys, with regards to the anti d's (again!!) the side effects are horrible for the first 2 weeks, really really bad, I was absolutely all over the place but once they kick in, they help so so much.
