Ha ha, KP I had to goggle it!!

Hi NJP Welcome to the forum. I'm the other side of the country, in Bristol.

now I've got a problem, chosen two, but which one do I vote for! Ok I've decided, one with not too many pages!

Umm, all sound good but some are quite heavy reading. Going to try to find one from the list that is a little light hearted.

Relieved its Friday!! I returned to work on tuesday after being off sick with food poisoning for 3wks only to be told I am being referred to Occupational health again. So I'm feeling let down & upset. I put as much into my job as I can while I am well but that doesn't seem to count for...

Great idea to have a book club. Like Anthony i've got into the habit of reading psychology books & need to make a change. Looking forward to joining in. Nothing to recommend at the moment but will start research for the next book.

Since being diagnosed myself I think my father may have had ptsd too. He suffered from anxiety & depression all his adult life & had several breakdowns, during which he was given ECT, but it made little difference. As I've come to understand we just have to get through the bad times as best we...

3 yrs therapy for me & its been the making of me. I had 6mths counselling which at least got me to a point of saying i had a problem. Then 21/2 yrs with a psychologist, the first year was weekly appointments using a mix of EMDR, talking & exposure therapy. Then we gradually weaned me off...

Well, I've been awake since 2 so just 4 hours sleep! And the reason.... I'm taking steroids to manage a cough, trouble is side effects are insomnia, anxiety & depression, just what I need!

Hugs to you Amethist I've been in a similar situation myself & had to take your husbands attitude. Unfortunately many people who have a guilty conscience often suffer from amnesia when it comes to admitting the upset they cause & they are not worthy of your attention, at the end of the day...

KP you are not whinning or pathetic, just human! No you won't ever be totally free of your symptoms but over time you will become more proficient at managing them. You are strong enough to get through this rough patch KP, stay strong & keep going, remember that recovery comes in baby steps &...

Don't put up with it amethist, I did for 29yrs then when i stood up to her she turned her anger & vehemence for her son onto me! People need to understand the destruction nasty tongues cause!

My periods stopped immediately after my last trauma & have never returned. Drs tell me the shock of trauma kicked me into menopause. Six years on now & I don't miss them one bit!

:rolleyes: not against the law at all Amethist, best thing i ever did was to divorce both her and her son! It's one thing to accept your mother-in-law, its another thing to put up with their poisonous tongue!! Good luck:eek:

Until half an hour ago I was calm & relaxed. I've been to the hairdresser, managed to get all I wanted at the shops & was looking forward to seeing my daughter this evening. And then my daughter rang me....... in a foul mood, she'd had a bad day at work, is pregnant so hormones are all over the...

A better question is also, does the drug prevent my own brain from finding its own way and is that 'way' not dependent on taking an SSRI forever? That's a question I'd like an answer to as well, gamereign. I was told before i started taking Cit that it wouldnt be forever, that eventually I...

Hi Che I was on 20mg for 6mths & found I was still depressed, when i increased to 40mg it made such a difference. I felt like I'd woken up after a long sleep, suddenly noticing birds singing, & appriciating the changing seasons. I also found it better to take at night. My GP & psychologist...

Welcome to the forum Greg, you'll find some fantastic & invaluable support here. Congratulations on coming of meds, I've been on meds for 3yrs now but hoping to taper them off soon. Your post has given me hope that the fog will one day come to an end. Thank you.

For me too please! Thanks Rodger

That's great KP. I will do my upmost to be there!

Hi penguinsteps and welcome to the forum. I am sure you and your partner will find lots of help and advice here. We did form a group in Bristol but we havent met for sometime now. As you will understand some members find socialising difficult & circumstances change which can make meeting...

I sleep better with heavier bedding. I discovered this after sleeping at my sons house for the first time under a feather duvet. So I decided to treat myself to a feather duvet, cotton sheets, duvet cover & a bed throw. The first night I felt so much more secure, slept much sounder & felt...

Really badly, only 2hrs. I have very painful back & food poisoning so waking up for lots of reasons. Going to take sleeping meds tonight, for one reason or another I haven't had full nights sleep for months.

Hi & welcome littlebird I'm in Bristol.

Well done KP, how lovely that you could make such a change to someones life.
