Hi everyone, I'm back

Hi everyone, I'm back

Hi @NikNik @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @outlander @utopia @Former-Member @Phoenix_Rising and others I have forgotten 🙂

I am back. I was in hospital for 4 weeks, the longest time I have been in hospital. I came out yesterday afternoon. I had a lot of meds changes, lots of group therapy and also one on one therapy. I am exhausted, i was very teary leaving yesterday, as i felt i was leaving 'my safety area' my area of being comfortable when i was very vulnerable and able to speak out my emotions.

I haven't done much todya, just the very basic house cleaning and I;m done, i am so tired. I did see my GP yesterday late afternoon and he couldn't believe how wxhausted I looked. Because of the certain meds i amm on my psych conrtacted the CAT team to call me as he wanted to make sure I was okay. They called me last night late and justed chekced i was okay.

Gee, i hope this tiredness goes away. i have to go back to work on Tuesday, i hope i can. i have decided i am onlhy working 3 days and not 4 next week as i need to ease myself into work. but right now i can't even think about work.

My beautiful grand daughter is a month old today. she is gorgeous and growing. i just saw her before. she fills me with so much love. she keeps me going.

i am so mixed with feelings and emotions at the moment.

anyway i better go, i don't know what else to write at the moment, really struggling with my fatigue\

hope you are all well,

BB xxxooo

Re: Hi everyone, I'm back

Always good to see you on the forum @BlueBay. Sorry to hear you've been in hospital. I know what you mean about it being a safety area, I often think of the hospital in much the same way. I do hope the exhaustion and fatigue pass for you soon, I hope it is just a side effect of the medication which will also pass. I think being unwell and hospitalised and now back to 'reality' in the outside world, it is natural to have mixed feelings and emotions. I know in the past I've felt that way when discharged from hospital.

Take it easy and remember to be kind to yourself in these coming days and weeks. I'm glad the mental health team is still in contact with you.

@BlueBay. It is so good to hear from you.
4 weeks in hospital - I've been there - it takes a while to settle back at home.
Si pleased you got a proper stay and therapy. Do you feel it has made a difference? I hope so.
Good to have you back home - here on the forum.

Hi @utopia@Faith-and-Hope@outlander@Former-Member@Zoe7

I'm struggling. Extreme exhaustiion, my whole body is fatigued. And i have to go to work tomorrow. My hours are 10-2 which is short shift but still i am so tired. Even typing this to you guys is a struggle. I just want to go back to bed and sleep. think i will later on. waiting for a guy to come and fix our oven. apparently while i was in hospital it almost caught fire. it was off for about four hours annd then it went bang and then the element inside burnt. so hubby phoned the company and organised for someone to come today.

think it's one of the meds that i amm on that is causing this exhaustion. i can't even think properly.

hope yoiu are all okay todya. back on here later on

xxoo

Good morning @BlueBay ....

I hope the morning improves for you ....

Can you get that med checked out ?

💜💐💕

Re: Hi everyone, I'm back

@BlueBay. A sleep later on sounds like a good idea. It takes weeks for our bodies to get used to new meds. But once it does, your exhaustion should lift.
I hope they can get the oven fixed today.

Hi @utopia@Faith-and-Hope@outlander@Shaz51@Zoe7 @Former-Member @Phoenix_Rising and others I may have forgotten

I may not be on here all the time at the moment. you see i am completely exhausted and my body is aching with tiredness. So i have decided that i can't even come on here to chat to any of you as i am so exhausted and need my sleep and rest.

i thought i would let you all know today as i will drop in every now and then but at the moment it will only be every so often.

My body feels like it's been in a marathon, my ankles ache, my back and just every where aches. i saw my chiro today and he put me back in balance and said he thinks i need to just let my body rest. my body is telling me something so i need to listen.

hope you are all okay. take care everyone.
