Hello everyone.
Wondered if I could get some advice on here, as very unsure what to do at the moment.
Last February I had a life-threatening breakdown.
I have always been a 'worrier', and lots of different events led up to the final event, which I won't bore you all with. I always thought it was just that. Worry and anxiety about things. I argued to the limit with the doctor, counsellors and psychiatrist that I was not depressed. Until my weight plummeted by two stone, I couldn't eat because I literally couldn't force the food down, and I was threatened with hospital more times than I can remember. It wasn't because I didn't want to eat, I couldn't. It was only my g.p who believed me.
Anyways, I was put on 50mg of Citalopram, and very slowly I got better. I could get off the floor on a morning, I could eat, I didn't hide behind the sofa when people came, I would answer the phone etc.
Fast forward to this year, and my psychiatrist left to go to another hospital. The new counsellors pants, and so now I don't go to either of them.
I survive by getting out of the house as much as I can , and have a very good support group.
Problem is I have come off my tablets. Reason being - weight gain, just wanting to be 'normal' plus few other reasons.
Thought I was coping ok, been off for about two weeks now, but my restless legs have come back with a vengence. I am having to take a diazepam every night to at least have SOME sleep. Last night even that didn't work. Feel at the end of my tether. Isolated. Lonely. Like no-one understands. Why is it so hard to have this kind of illness. Why do I feel like I do? I always thought I coped ok before, so why can't I now?
PLease help.....don't know what to do.

:rotfl: Alba. He asked me to be his girlfriend but I said that I wanted to take things slowly as I rushed into things with Blade and look how that turned out.lol. I said that I'd love to do the dating thing though and see how things go and he said that sounds great, so we'll see.
All of my teen years and up until Blade left I was always looking for a long term commitment and because of that I forgot to have fun. I just wanted to be loved and I missed out on having fun so now I want to just have fun and find out what my "type" of guy is, and find one who isn't abusive, and Karl isn't abusive in the slightest. He's such a softie.lol. So, I'll see how it goes but I really do like him.
He text me back saying "I know you're most likely wondering why I've fallen in love with you because I know you struggle with your self esteem. But I think you are gorgeous and sexy and have such a lovely personality". Made me cry.lol.

Haven't found my cable yet. It's annoying me.lol. I'm a tidy person and it's rare that I lose anything so it's there niggling me in the back of my mind.

No plans for today. I still have a full blown cold so I'm dosed up to the eyeballs on Soothers and Calpol. I think I'll have a magazine day looking for new fashion ideas.

How are you today?
