((((EB)))) Glad you're feeling a little better, hope that continues. Persevere with GP, will be worth it I think. (((GF))) Always difficult to know what to do re work, wish there was a single answer fits all!! (((VV))) From reading lots and lots of posts on hear about meds the one thing I've concluded is that everyone is different. What is good for you re meds and alcohol may not be so good for someone else etc etc etc. I think I win the prize for stating the bloody obvious there - I know it's bloody annoying that there is no single answer! (((PGI))) - good news re CBT, hope you get something from it. I'm ok at the moment, I think. I'm busy trying to force the conversation at therapy, force it onto the things I know I need to understand but I know will be painful. Feel like therapy is being overtaken by current problems at home. Therapist is not convinced that I'm right to force it. Which makes it all rather interesting .............. (((Hugs))) for all who need them. Carp - how's you at the moment? |

Well I've been to my GP this morning. Thought it would be good to chat about meds and how I'm feeling. Some GPs can be hardwork, though perhaps I'm expecting magic answers. She says to keep in with the meds, and to try to get myself out on my social things .The feeling is, that although running and meditation is good for me, they are quite solitary activities, for me anyway. Actually, I don't do too badly on meeting people, as I've joined several social groups, and it is a help. I came away with a wad of prescriptions for more citalapram. |

Well some of that sounds ok SCP, some not so much. I agree re GPs - I guess it's like any other group of people - some good, some bad, some hardwork. Reading things on here I am left wondering if GPs should have to undergo some sort of basic people skills training, or maybe even pass an exam in it! Hope you're ok. (((())) |

A few days ago after that "student deprerssion" link and I said I'd speak to the PhD syudent we have - tioday I did. It was a briefish conversation and it took an effort to get him to realise I wasn't asking how his work was but how he was. He laks a bit of confidence in what he does and I donlt think he has a very scienbtific mind so I thought he might be vulnerable. From what he said thiugh he seems okay. He is sleeping well and eating well so they are very good signs I guess. He does seem happy bujt I guess that is not always a good indicator. Anyway all seems well.

Right, I am gonna say this to EB Ignore, me, tell me to wazz off or whatever but CB has been amazingly supportive, hasnt he, in the past.he has come and posted on here, and has always had the utmost repsect for how you wanna handle things. Right now though, he must be feeling really shut out, and not knowing what to do You say you arent talking to him, you havent been to see you GP, and you have that plan(which i respect fully, BTW) He must be at his wits end! he is a lovely guy who loves you and wants all the best for you and doesnt want to lose you Thats GOT to be worth a LOT, hasnt it? if you cant talk to him, pleas talk to someone else You have a lot to live for xx |

I'm really struggling today. I feel so tired, in spite of sleeping better now I am on mirtazapine. I used to love my work but I can't handle it any more and keep dissolving into tears. I just don't understand what is wrong with me and what I can do to put it right.
