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

You rest as much as you need @BlueBay

We will be here if/when you are able to post - no pressure at all - but it is lovely seeing you 'pop up' every now and then my beautiful little yellow flower

It is so heartwarming that you are listening to your body and taking the necessary action for you own health - so positive and so wonderful to hear.

Take all the time you need BB - I am still sitting on your shoulder even when you don't think I am there

I was trying to be serious @BlueBay

@Former-Member seems to think I am funny even when I am trying NOT to be - it's a talent LOL

I am glad I made you laugh though BB - yea for me

Welcome back @BlueBay lovely to see you 🙂

I can't imagine how exhausted you are right now, keep resting and looking after yourself and thank you for saying hello and the update.

I actually also had a LOL when @Zoe7 described always being on your shoulder

Re: Hi everyone, I'm back

@BlueBay @Former-Member You two are seriously warped - nothing funny about me being on BB's shoulder (well I don't think there is - other than the fact I have gained so much weight rercently that maybe that is why BB is so tired - having to carry me around lol)

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

I want to stop my meds. I hate them they are making me put on weight across my stomach. I am so unhappy with myself. i rang my GP and told him today and he suggested i don't. i don't care anymore, i want to stop

i am so unhappy at the moment

In response to: Re: Hi everyone, I'm back

Re: Hi everyone, I'm back

Please listen to your doctor @BlueBay ..... you have gone off your meds like this before and it left you feeling so much worse, and things were really uncomfortable for you with the doctor as well.

Maybe ask for help working out how to combat the weight gain with lifestyle changes ?

@Faith-and-Hope

Hi, i am already walking daily and watching what i am eating. it's not going to work. i am angry at the medical people - they prescribe meds and don't care about how it affects people. my psych doesn't care how it has affected me and how much weight i have put on. put on at least 4-5kg in the past week since starting.

i am having a real down day,

And the opposite will happen if i take more than one med together. if i take two of this particular med i will end up in hospital; it is quite serious. at least they will listen to me.

gosh, my negative mind is working so much

Re: Hi everyone, I'm back

It’s okay to have these thoughts running through your head but not pay much attention to them @BlueBay ..... you are going to feel unsettled for a while .....

Are you enjoying the walking, and the foods you are eating ?
