Re: catching up

I don't know Karen I just feel so scared, I don't know why, please promise me you will put the girls first? They are more important than me.

Just talking I suppose Karen I miss you so much, life seems to be going backwards for me, thoughts and fears are going back to what they where before I started medication, I feel so dizzy Karen, I tried to stand up buy I can't.

Re: catching up

Sorry Karen, I don't want to upset you, I am trying to be careful what I say.

Gosh the girls sound like they had a nice day, did they play on the swings at Mcdonalds? I used to love going in their when I was a child, mum and dad took me their once a month, I loved it, it seems so long ago.

Gosh the girls love cake decorating, please try to encourage them, baking is a wonderful past time.

Re: catching up

@Jacques - how are you going regulating your breathing? As Karen pointed out - 6 seconds in 8 seconds out. I tend to do 4 seconds in, 4 seconds out - whatever works for you.

The sense of dizziness could be due to the panic attack or something else - have you eaten today?

Don't push yourself to get up. Just take your time.

You mentioned that you're getting worse - worse than before the medication. It's really important to discuss this with your doctor, because he/she will be able to adjust your medication (change, increase, decrease etc) to help you. You don't have to live with this level of distress.

Will you consider this?

Re: catching up

I am trying with the breathing, but I keep drifting from focusing on it and start hyperventilating, I spoke to my doctor and they said they can't do anything with my meds because it is for a psychiatrist to prescribe, but I don't go to one, she was reluctant to change it.

I have eaten 3 meals today.
