Thanks everyone - not letting me thank some people!
Finally had chance to catch up with everyone's diaries which was lovely. Things have changed with me in terms of a lot of stress disappearing.
I started taking some of my old antidepressants yesterday and am going to the doctor tomorrow to discuss going back on them - only have a few left. Just on a low dose, as think I need it at the moment.
Also, this morning was horrible, but am much relieved now because I have fired the person causing me stress at work. She was unmanageable and basically a complete nightmare. I was awake at 2:30 am worrying about this.
Plus all of the companies that owe me money have now paid. Had a person come round tonight to quote on removals. So things moving along nicely.
Back on CD today but mainly because I felt so sick with stress and nerves that I haven't wanted to have anything - still have a shake left to have before bed. Going to get earlyish night and then start afresh tomorrow - with work, with CD, with everything.
Feeling much more positive
Just need to get moved now and I'll be happy as larry. BF has been absolutely amazingly supportive as usual - reinforces to me everyday how I'm the luckiest person in the world to have him
Hope everyone is okay today xxx

Thanks guys Didn't get to doctor this morning, as my doctor wasn't in and I'm not as keen on the others. So am going to go tomorrow morning.
Day has been busy and I am starving today, whilst I had no appetite yesterday. Had 3 shakes today and have a 4th if I need it and have drunk gallons of water and coffee. WI tomorrow.
Hope everyone else is good today xxx

Just got back from the doctors. Was sat in the waiting room with heart pounding and started crying as soon as I walked in. He was really lovely and agreed to put me on a beta blocker and carry on with the antidepressants (which are for anxiety, not depression). So feeling a better.
I do think I'll probably need to be on some medication, even a low dose, forever and am coming to terms with it. I believe it's an imbalance in the brain and if it was something like diabetes people wouldn't keep trying to come off their tablets. Have taken a beta blocker and am going to go into work for the afternoon. Have 2 interviews to do, so will see how well they work then!
Hope everyone has a good day today xxx

good luck for the interviews hun!
RE the drugs, needs must and if you need them then you must take them! As you say, if it was for anything physical, there wouldnt be a second thought about taking meds, so it should be the same for mental issues (not that your mental of course hun!lol)

Thanks guys! I think I am a bit mental lol
Down 2 shakes today - 3rd day of being back on SS and going strong so far. Got another one to have, but not desperate yet, so holding off.
Feeling much more calm. Got some magazines to read tonight, so might have bath and relax. Then do fake tan tomorrow in time for weekend and getting hair coloured Friday. I am so lazy though that I can't be bothered to fake tan Must force myself as it makes me feel better and then want to stick to it more.

Well done on your third day on CD, and hopefully work will now be more enjoyable with that person gone and no longer causing you any stress... And dont worry about meds, as long as they make you feel better then keep taking them, everyone is different and what is right for one person may not be right for another, but they are obviously the right thing for you. Exciting news about your house too.... things are definately on the up for you...

Hey Liz
Definately agree with your thought process re. meds - and must remember that about some tablets I take. Mine are migraine related but I have it in my head that I don't want to take tablets forever, but everytime I start to lower the dose, the migraines come back in abundance straight away and I feel really down that my body can't cope without meds- so really is a good thought process, even in a different area.
Well done for keeping to SS, with all the pressure you must be under, that's really fantastic xx

Day 4 of SS and doing okay so far. Had my 2 shakes so far and lots of water and coffee. Feeling dead today from the beta blockers. Have come home this afternoon and have tomorrow off, so hopefully time to get used to them before my new person starts on Monday.
Just going to lounge on the sofa and watch BB and doze. YAWWWNNN

Had a lovely sleep Feel revitalised now. Just had homebuyer survey back as well from surveyor on new property.
To be honest it looks petrifying! So have emailed to Dad who currently has a builder friend of his whose doing some work. So he's going to look at it.
Hope he doesn't say run a mile or we'll be back to looking at houses!!!
Having said that, as long as ours sells next Friday that's all I really care about
Just watching Fern Brittons show and John Suchet is on talking about his wife who has dementia. It's sad.
Still doing fine with SS. The nap helped as some of the day is gone. Got 1-2 shakes left if I like. Must force myself to do tan tonight. Coming on here is helping to focus me

Hi hun,
Hope you are doing ok? Sorry not been around for a while and to hear you've been feeling down. Hope things are starting to improve for you. Hope you don't mind me mentioning it, but a friend of mine tried using the Linden method to help with their very disabling anxiety disorder. (with depressive features) Now, as a psych nurse i was a little sceptical at first but in actual fact it did help enormously and they had recovery to the point of being able to return to work in 3 weeks as opposed to previous episodes of up to 8 weeks. Anyway, enough waffling, feel free to post me if you want anymore info, although i am not on as often as i would like at the moment. Sending hugs xx

Thanks guys, still around, but massively busy with work and wrapped up with house - still not exchanged, but imminent.
Thanks for that butterfly - will have a look online. Had a brief look earlier and it seems to have been effective for a lot of people. Hope everyone is well. Will be around once we've exchanged I think, but I just cannot focus on ANYTHING! at the moment.
