Diva news...

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the compliment, I am blushing now!

And thanks for the reply. As for blowing up at them, well I guess sometimes I feel like it but that is just not in my personnality lol. I am more of a peacekeeper lol. That might be why I am an easy target sometimes lol. People know that if need be I just let it go to keep the peace...I have learned to defend myself when push really comes to shove but I still struggle with that lol because I don't like my anger to have a negative impact on those I love.

Well, I guess being able to hold secret is not a horrible thing but I must admit I hate secrets and hate keeping them. As for you rambling, well I get what you mean and no need for apologies!

And yes, I keep on moving forward! And yeah, I don't always feel strong but I keep on going! (like the energizer bunny!). Cheers to you too Joe!

CM,

Thanks for taking time to reply to me. Yes, I had a challenging weekend lol. And yes, family matters can get quite entangled!

As for today being better, it is.

I was right, I did manage, in the few days since sunday to make peace with all this again and accept that this is how things were and are! When you can't change things, acceptance and letting go really are he best way to feel better in my opinion. It takes work, but I am getting better at it!

So there it is, I processed the experienced and made my peace with it and I feel better lol. Thanks you all for helping me vent out and understand my inner turmoil!

Hey guys,

Today I went to the therapist. We took some physiological readings with his machine. Like a before picture of my physiological systems (limbic system, electrodermal readings, heart rate, blood flow, etc, etc, etc.). Then I took my first anti-depressant pill in a very long time...It was tough. The good news is that I have not had a severe allergic reaction to it. Now, I figure that is a good start lol. I am having a very emotional reaction to taking this med. I am partly hopeful and partly sad and defeated and down on myself. But as with anything else I will sort through it! And hey, if I don't like the effect of the meds, I will just taper off.

I will see my therapist again in 3 weeks to get more physiological readings so we know if the meds help or not. He said if I feel anything weird or feel freaked out or anything, he is on stand-by and will take me in on an emergency basis. So that is good and reassuring!

Well, sorry for not answering anybody's thread for now but I found today and the meds things and the emotional reaction to it quite tiring. I am going for a nap. I will try to be back and answer all of you later!

I slept but....

Hey Gilkey,

It takes time to get better but it does. I suggest starting the program here. It helped me a ton! BE kind and patient with yourself. And it is ok to cry or sleep or whatever when you need it. You are healing, give yourself time. But I assure you, it can get better! This too shall oass!

Taking that First Step

HEllo Reebarks,

Welcome. I think you got great advice from jhori. That is exactly how I managed to get over my agoraphobia, one little baby step at a time! And lots of rewards! Now I go out all the time, I work, I study and I take the bus during rush hour. There was a time I couldn't not even leave the appartment. So it does get better!

Hello Lavanda,

I think Karla is right. Make sure you are hydrated and your blood sugar isn't low. Also, breathing is a factor. I know I get dizzy if I hyperventilate. But firstly and most importantly, go see your doctor and have it checked out. Once you have ruled everything out, you will feel better!

Activities

My problem with this is when I do stuff for fun, I feel guilty that I am not "being productive" and when I am doing stuff to feel accomplished, I always feel as if I have not done enough...Yeah talk about being mean to myself. I am working on it!

Alternative therapies

I like Yoga,

It is exercise and it relaxes you all at once. I am going back to yoga soon and feel very excited.

Some advice or questions

Hey Gil,

First of all, there is no need to call yourself a taker or to feel bad for asking questions. This is what this forum is for and you are welcome to ask anything!

Well, I have been of most meds for quite some time and have just recently (this wednesday) gone onto anti-depressants. That by no means mean that I am doing very badly. This is just a rough spot and I fully intend to get over it quickly lol. Life just keeps getting better for me. I just kinda overdid it last year and am dealing with a little burn-out! Ah well, live and learn!

I can't really answer your questions about meds as you can see. But I do want to say that it gets better. There was a time I was always strapped with anxiety. Now I do quite well and have a good quality of life! CBT savedme. I highly suggest you give the program a try.

Anyway, sorry I cannot be more useful to you. Have a good day!
