Might it be worth asking for a referal to a MH specialist? A psychiatrist presumably as they are the ones who prescribe as oppposed to doing talking therapies. I've got all my spare limbs and digits in metaphorical knots for you that the side effects do ease off and you feel some benefits from all this VERY soon

Believe it or not I was discharged from the MH crisis team back in December!!...no I don't get it either :(
 
No effing money coming into the NHS, that's what it is! I'm off rampaging in the streets tomorrow about it all. Sorry, it's not the NHS any more it's NHS England, a commisioning body :(

Agreed!..the only way I would get a referral back to the support services again is if I tell them I'm suicidal or have attempted suicide or deemed a risk. Yet my initial referral was done by my doctor so I could be referred for counselling...it's back to front and a load of BS..

Hi Lisa. That's my HUGE bug bear about the crisis team. Discharge anyways! Well from my experience with a friend. Hope you're ok (I've not fully caught up yet) and re the gain don't punish yourself hun....keep going... You're a superstar.

I'm still bunged up ? but it's a long weekend so woo! Plenty of rest for me! X

its so strange the way it works and not joined up at all. you go to counselling where they send you post haste to your GP due to their diagnosis of how you're doing but that very person discharged from additional help!??!! honestly. hope the effects calm down.

don't worry about the gain at all. it's been a busy and very stressy week for you and you stuck to it so you will see a difference in the next few weeks. you need to be nice to yourself though. glad you went to group. think it was the right thing. don't want to start not doing stuff and retreating inwards - that never helps. have a lovely day today. i would say enjoy the sun but it's just started raining here! so take it easy x
 
Think I'm just gonna have to go with the flow. I'm not even attempting to stick to plan today - my appetite is crap so Im picking just to make sure I have something, Still feel the nausea and restlessness.

I'm taking the pressure off myself until I can tolerate this medication better.

Hence my diary might be a little quiet for the next few days.

While trying to sort out my friends list into close friends, family etc I've ended up flinging people off my friends list instead - technology was never my strong point - so if you find a friend request from me you'll know why lol :)

Oooh a nice sunday dinner......thats a meal that I can always attempt to eat a little of when I'm not in a eaty mood, its my all time favourite meal!

sending all my hugs & vibes hun that the meds side effects settle soon so you can get on with getting better xxx
 
I've decided that making a Sunday dinner might be too much so here's today's food plan:

Breakfast: coffees (hexA)

Lunch: noodles with sweet corn and one slice of seed sensation bread (hexB)

Dinner: Quorn sausages (2 syns) with cheesy mash (hexA) and beans, mustard (1 syn) and one slice of seed sensation bread (hexB)

I'm starting a fresh today and drawing a line under the last few days - hoping I can rescue this week.

Side effects from the new meds seem to have calmed down a little I've been on them a week tomorrow and have to up the dose in 4 days time. Hoping the effects don't start all over again...I've felt really crap these last few days mentally and physically :( but!!....I'm clawing myself back up :)

Happy Sunday people xx

Getting better already is a great sign. Stuck with it Hun you will get there and LOOK AT YOU back on the diet wagon wow I am SO impressed. We all know the food doesn't really help but that doesn't make it easy - so pleased you're back to it an giving it a good go. Just don't stress if you eat too little/ too much.

Hope today has been a good one for you xx
 
Another rubbish day food wise. Too much cheese and bread. Bought wine and ice-cream for later when I went for salad and eggs.

I've messaged my class consultant for some support or advice. I've started each day a fresh and then stuffed it up by tea-time. I'm just struggling to find the motivation and to get my head back in it.

I'm going to start afresh again tomorrow, hopefully the SW consultant will give me something that will kick start me back onto the plan, at this rate I don't even want to do the plan or go back to class on Friday. I just feel with my counselling starting now and on this medication that dieting is not even a priority but I know once I feel better and brighter I will regret giving it up.

I'm just thinking out loud people. See what tomorrow brings x

I know what you mean about priorities hun. It's been a shitty few weeks with other things taking over. That goes for the both of us I think!!!! I'm so proud of you for not giving up xxxx
 
You have a healthy perspective on all this. That you know that in a few weeks you will regret not sticking to plan. It is a choice you can make but don't beat yourself up over making choices you regret later. It sounds like day to day survival for you atm, so what if those lovely long DMs and all the rest of the gear have to wait a month or so. But it would be nice to be wearing them at Xmas wouldn't it. Hugs Lisa, hang on in there, it is going to work out. XXX
 
Counselling session went really really well...medication has started to do its job a little I feel.

Food..

Breakfast: coffee (hexA) banana

Lunch: dairylea cheese slices (hexA) on a bread roll (hexB) with onion and salad cream (1 syn). Happy Snax (2 syns). Banana.

Dinner: baked bean lasagna (hexB for cheese) salad.

Lunch in the park with O and K.
