Depression II

Tiff_2

Hi gilly!:hello:
How are you today hun? Hope you made it to Brum safe and sound.;)

quote=gillette147
Well folkes,
I am off to Brum tonight. There's a Health and Safety Expo up there and I can visit family etc. (I baked a sponge cake yesterday and I'm taking it up there - me baked a cake!!). I am going to cut lawn and do some sorting out first.
Cake baking? Gilly? :eek: Well done you angel.:T I'm still trying to stop DS from going into shock at the sight of the washing up. I'm teaching him that the kitchen is not where I live and that it's not just the route to the dining room and the computer!:D :rolleyes: Glad things are looking up for you angel.;)

I have decided that I want to come off the meds. My g/f doesn't like me on them (or rather uses it to justify her smoking/drinking). I don't feel any different on them anyway. And I have fought my depression without them for 20 years so I can again. Some of my depression is circumstantial and things are getting better (g/f,...passed exams etc). My depression was never a debilitating (SP) one.
Ok hun, of course you do have the right to stop taking your meds but I think you're doing it for some of the wrong reasons angel.
I'm sorry your g/f doesn't like you on them, but frankly my dear...that's her problem, to be blunt.;) What does she have against them hun? You may not feel that they're having any effects on your problem gilly hun, but look at what you've achieved. :T
Please see your gp before you stop them. You don't want to end up back at square one angel. Circumstantial or even reactive depression can be helped hun. Surely it would be better to say to your dr that the tablets you're on are not effective and you want to know what other options there are?
Not having a go gilly badger, , but you obviously were debilitated if you couldn't work, or went to see your gp or even sought out this thread. Your gp might be able to suggest something that works better for you hun but they can't fix it if you don't tell them about it.;)
I see the doctor next week and I'll find out what he thinks.
There's getting to be too many of you to mention by name!!
Atta boy gilly!:T That's great hun. Just please be careful not to dismiss all your options out of hand without thinking it through angel. You say you managed for 20 years without them - I would guess that maybe you struggled or suffered for 20 years without them.

My thoughts are with you all. And good luck with appraisals/reviews/appeals etc.

Your health and peace of mind are priceless gily. Have a safe journey home hun. It's your decision about ads hun, but I'd listen to what the dr thinks first.
You may have side effects if you withdraw from them suddenly. Have a great weekend and bank holiday angel - thinking of you.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

I'm sooo scared. My review is in a few hours :eek:

Karrie

Don't be scared RBK. These things are not always as bad as you expect. Just be yourself. If there were any problems with your work it would have been highlighted prior to this surely.

Anyways, GOOD LUCK and let us know how you get on.

Thank you all for your good luck wishes

:hello: My review went better than I expected I'm pleased that it is over. Next review is in about 6 months time. She gave me 3 objectives. The first is to set up and dispense the medication into trays for 35 patients in a nursing home. The second is to organise 30 or so community tray patients which involves ordering their prescriptions each month and dispensing their medication into trays and getting them delivered on time. The final objective is to complete either a module or unit of my coursework each month and submit it to my acessor.

I am so glad it's over :j I was really worried.

My cat had to go to the vet today as we noticed that she was holding up her left paw and limping. The vet thinks that it was likely that she had been hit by a car recently The good news is that he thinks her leg will heal on its own. She's supposed to stay indoors to rest but she's sneaked out the door.

slowlyfading, How did the recitals go?

Tulip, How was your day?

Forgive me for asking but do you work? I can't remember if you said you did or not.

rose, I was wondering how your appointment with your psychiatrist went. Did he not help at all? Did he suggest anything?

(((HUGS)))

Uh oh, rose is hitting the town tonight :eek: lol jk hun, I hope you have a great night. You definately deserve it!

Karrie, How are you? How was your day?

I'm so glad it's nearly the weekend. I'm completely exhausted.

Karrie

Phew that's a relief. I am pleased it went well for you. Sounds like she's giving you lots more responsibility. Well done you! :j

I am fine thank you. Looking forward to next week off work. I haven't any plans as yet, depends on the weather.
