Hi again karrie!:hello:
Hun, the Tiffster nearly fell off her chair when I read your post! :eek:

Angel - NEVER ever change or alter your meds without your drs permission or supervision! Some meds can leave you feeling very ill after a few days of not taking them hun. If the tiredness is just too much (although your side effects should be levelling out soon I'd hope), please discuss it with your gp.

Try and remember how you felt before the meds angel and at the beginning of taking them - do you really want to have to feel like that again or have to start all over again?

You've got some stress coming up and if I were you I'd keep taking them.;) Why rock the boat karrie? A lot of us have learned that stopping meds because you think you're better, is not the best thing to do. Wait until after your appeal and then see your gp hun and talk it over with him/her.
Glad to hear you so bright hun - hang in there.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Ooops sorry that I nearly made you fall off your chair I know you are right but just needed someone elses opinion. I just feel so much more alive for not taking them. When I take them, I wake up feeling fuzzy and taking ages to wake up. I yawn ALL day long and I swear buckets :eek: The last 2 mornings have been great and I am happy too.

I will let you know how I get on at the appeal. If it's unsuccessful I guess I will be down in the dumps for a while so best I get my butt in gear and carry on taking the meds

How was the wedding?

Hi sf!:hello:
How are you doing sf?

I'm okay thanks, had a busy day though

Retail therapy does have this downside angel I know. If you can't/don't want to take it back, then enjoy it hun. If you want to return items, then do so. Are you down about your finances angel?

Actually, I checked my bank balance this afternoon and its not as bad as I thought it would be, and I've transferred some money over so I'm not actually as bad off as I first thought. I am enjoying my new clothes - might even be brave and wear my new skirt tonight! :eek: have to wear leggings as well though, as i can't show my legs off to the world.

I was more alerted with the last part of your post angel. Why is everything feeling like it's slipping hun? I get the feeling that you're feeling very low generally and not just about your finances. Please feel free to post sf - it may lighten the load a little and you may get some pointers to the practical side of things too hun.

There are a few things bothering me, but its just silly things that will ease off over the next few days/weeks.

Either way sf, it sounds like you're the one who needed a hug when you wrote this - so have a Tiffy hug on the house.;)

Thanks

I hope the new week has found you feeling a little better hun. Take care.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Thanks for your kind words

:hello: Good evening guys. How is everyone?

Karrie, I think you should go back to your GP to discuss your medication and the side effects that you are experiencing. As Tiff said you shouldn't stop taking prescribed medication of your own accord. What medication do you take? (you don't have to say if you don't want to). It's great that you are feeling so happy but in a week or two that might not be the case. Stopping and starting medication isn't a good idea. I'm sure you know all this anyway hun. I don't mean to lecture you, I just care.

Aww thanks RBK. I take citalopram 20mg. I guess because I feel so good compared to a month ago, it's easy to forget how bad I was. I have taken one today because as you say I should consult the doc. I will wait til after the appeal and see how I feel. I guess I over exagerated when I said I feel so happy. I guess I meant happier than I was. Thanks for the advice and you can lecture me any time you think I am being stupid. And today I was stupid :rolleyes:

Anyways, hows you? You seem much brighter. I think that change of scenery at your cousins has been a great help to you.

Sugar_Coated_Owl

I'm glad to hear that you've taken your medication today

Best of luck with the appeal hun. I will be thinking of you (((HUGS)))

I enjoyed last week at my cousins but being back home is well I don't know

I have my review at work on Friday :eek: I've decided to rate myself at the bottom of each criteria to avoid any disappointment. Not looking forward to it tbh. I mean, I do really try hard at work but it never seems like my best is good enough. Nevermind.

How has your day been?

Karrie

what does a review entail? What do you do at work? You sound like me, I would rate myself at the bottom so as to not be disappointed. We shouldn't do that to ourselves but we do. Anyway, you can only do your best and no more. Your best is good enough. I hope it all goes well. Will you have to sit with a boss or something and talk about your work? I hate things like that.

We had a laugh today at work. One of the girls (who is very !!!!!y) sent an email to another girl about one of my good colleagues. Unfortunately, she sent it to my good colleague in error. She didn't realise she'd done it until my colleague sent her an email back. Well, she was so embarrassed and got nasty. That'll teach her to be two faced. She did mail an apology.

I have the whole of next week off work :j I hope the weather picks up a bit.

Sugar_Coated_Owl

lol I hope she learns from her error. I hate people who are two-faced.

It's a performance development review. Like an appraisal type thing I suppose. You say how well you think you are doing in certain areas, manager tells you what she thinks. You tell her what you think has gone well/not so well e.t.c I think it also gives you a chance to raise any concerns you may have. You then set out objectives for the next 6 months or so. Yep, I have to sit down with my manager.

I'm a dispensing technician in a pharmacy.

It's a shame we put ourselves down but yeah it's what we do as you said.

What are you going to do during your week off? Lucky thing lol

Hey ya Tulip, it sounds like you've had a really good day today. Did you enjoy the karaoke? Sounds like it was an enjoyable day.

Corrie was good. I wonder if they are going to blame Claire...

I didn't know Jordan had another book coming out. Is it an autobiography? I watched katie and peter the other day. I'm still really liking them as a couple.
