Not Coping

Yeah exactly I’m thinking if I make a batch of lasagna or spaghetti bolognese I can freeze some of it and have it for a meal another night when I don’t want to cook @creative_writer @tyme

I hope the meal prepping side with work well for you, then I'd be interested to hear what you do @Birdofparadise8 .

Will you be working when you come to Melb?

I have a lot of meals in the freezer... I look at them and say, "No thank you!" Thanks part of the problem. I need to just eat them to clear the freezer and start again. @creative_writer @Birdofparadise8

Yeah I will let you know how I get on with it @tyme @creative_writer

Once again, I'm getting so excited that you are coming to Melb 🙂 @Birdofparadise8

Thanks I wish I am as excited, but I don’t know I think that’s the depression talking @tyme

Yes, sounds like that black dog is hollering over you @Birdofparadise8 .

I forgot whether you mentioned this in the past, but if you don't mind me asking, are you taking anti-depressants?

Yeah I am my GP just increased my dose last week I take two different ones one in the morning and one to help me sleep @tyme

So it sounds like early days yet? @Birdofparadise8 ?

I tried about 6 different anti depressants until I found the one for me. We are all different so it's good to monitor things and see how you go.

Do you have a mood diary?

I’ve been on one that was increased and I was on it for 4 month but it didn’t help. This current one I’ve been on since the end of November so not that long.

Yes I did have one but my psych and I decided it wasn’t the best for me as I just kept looking back at how bad things have been and seeing my mood decline so much @tyme. That is probably to do with the black and white thinking as would you say?
