Hello all

Hope u r all ok. I am hoping that once today is over (many of you know why looking at my prev posts) I can start to feel bit better.

I have booked into the docs for today dont feel like I can wait until tomorrow and I have made a list of all my symptoms and how I feel. I have also made a positive decision to accept the help of ads if offered this time and hopefully by time counselling comes I will be starting to feel more positive.

I keep telling myself I just need to think more positive but easier said than done.

Gonna crack on with washing and tackle the mountain of ironing I have.

hiya... hopefully the doctor will be able to reassure you and do something helpful for you.. meantime be kind to yourself and do some things that you enjoy rather than what you feel you have to

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't been posting too much lately.
Unfortunately I have been feeling quite down. I am off work on the sick as advised by my doctor and haven't really been feeling up to going anywhere or talking to anyone much.
I have been popping in every now and then to see how everyone is doing though (However I have been spending most of my time in the competition forum as it has ben keeping me busy and taking my mind off things a little) - I just haven't really felt up to actually posting in here. However I don't want to appear ignorant so thought I would just leave a teensy weensy post just so you all know I am still about and am thinking of you all x

Hi dawny :wave:

Good to hear from you and thanks so much for the sweet pic. We are thinking of you too hun and don't forget, if you win anything on the competition thread remember your pals here;):D Only kidding hun! Concentrate on getting some rest, we're here whenever you feel like stopping by.

Much love,
Sazzyxxxxxxxxx

Hi guys :wave: Ethelbomber!!! Good to have you back :wave:

Hope everyone's well. I didn't sleep great last night:rolleyes: Again. Going through another phase of waking up at 3 and then not going back to sleep until about 10 seconds before my alarm goes off! Makes me feel just wiped out during the day... However comma.

CNMM - good luck for the docs today. You're right it is hard trying to being positive at times, but you've made a step in the right direction, i reckon.

Poppyjay - is your OH a dab hand with the vacuum cleaner?!:D:D

Feelie - I hope the meeting went ok last night.

Tulip - great news you'll be getting some support for Saturdays

Gilly badger - have a good day at work and don't forget we all want front row seats for 2012!:D

Tiffy hun - erm, about the hat fund..... I can explain everything!!! _pale_ Thinking of you angel, as always x

Big sazzy hugs and kisses to all our gang (please forgive me for not having tiffy's list to hand...:o)

Much love to you all,
Sazzyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

But I'll see what I can do.

Hi all.

This seems like a tight knitted community, so apologies for the intrusion!

I've been depressed for a while now, but it has become worse in the last year. I've had lots going on and at this point in time, I truly hold my hands up and say I've had enough.

I went to the docs today and was prescribed with 20mg of Citalopram. As you can imagine, I've been researching like crazy this afternoon, but wondered if anyone had any experience of this particular anti depressant? I'd be most grateful for any thoughts.

Charlene I have been prescribed the exact same thing and exact same dosage.
I have only been taking these for a week and so as of yet I cannot see that they have made any difference at all.
But I am sleeping a lot, and I constantly yawn - which appears to be one of the side effects. How bizarre!
