Feeling overwhelmed - not coping 😮

That would be great if your work can transfer you, I hope it works out easily for you and doesn't become a stress, @Flower88 Like you mentioned, probably not the best to stay with family with little kids. As cute as they are, they can be full-on.

How was your sleep?

I woke with a feeling of panic, for no apparent reason, grrr!

At least I'm feeling better than yesterday. What a day that was.

Hi @Former-Member That's good that you managed to get out last night. How old are your boys?

I had a terrible experience with alcohol and medication years ago.

I was talked into trying another anti depressant at the end of last year. Oh, this one will work, she said, oh my gosh, I've heard that so many times. I trusted again and after 2 months of mostly being in bed, I decided to get myself off them. I won't try them again, I can't count the number of anti depressants I've tried. I wish they would work for me, but they don't. It would be great to be able to take something to make us feel better, wouldn't it? If only it was that easy.

I understand about trying to remember things. I have a small diary where I write everything in it. Phone calls I need to make, bills I need to pay, appointments, everything, otherwise I wouldn't remember either. I lose reminder notes, so perhaps it would help you to have a small diary, somewhere handy. I keep mine in the kitchen and couldn't survive without it Bills wouldn't get paid, for a start my husband doesn't even know when we receive them, hehe!

Thanks for the link, I will have a look at it soon.

Look forward to chatting again soon. I hope you have a nice weekend.

@Former-Member I can't get onto the link. If you don't mind giving me her name, I can look it up, thanks.

I can't exactly remember the name of the book on ADD/ADHD @Former-Member But it's written by Dr Amen, a psychiatrist in the US. It was so helpful for me reading it, because doctors haven't been able to help me.

I think you'll enjoy reading it as well. I borrowed it from the library.

Thanks @Former-Member

Sounds like you need a nap. Do you nap in the day? Even just a short one helps.

Yes, I think you will really enjoy the ADD book, by Dr Amen. There are different types of ADD. Dr Amen scans his patients brains before he treats them. It's a special type of scan. It shows the activity of the brain. People with ADD have less activity in the Frontal Cortex, the front part of our brain. Often caused by head injury. Really interesting book. He tries to help people with natural remedies, but he does perscribe medication as well. I wish there was a doctor/psychiatrist like that over here.

My husband read a good book, How to love someone with ADD. It helped him understand me a bit more. I didn't end up reading it, as I had just read a few books and have had enough of reading for the time being, information overload.

Read a few books on healing the gut as well. There's so much to learn. Our gut plays an important role on our whole health, even certain brain chemicals are produced in our gut. So I learnt that I need to heal my gut.

Anyway, I'm a bit of a chatter box sometimes.

I hope you had a rest.
