Kendy sorry your not having a good time at the moment must be something in the air this moment will pass you have felt better before and it will come again thats what i keep telling myself anyway perhaps i'll believe it soon its the worst feeling when you feel so tired but you cant get rested properly through bad dreams and tossing and turning and worrying about everything try and get to your psychiatrist sooner maybe he can help.Gabbi.

No Panic Attacks

hi Sharon how are you?I hope you are doing better.The past couple of days have been a bit rough my husband took me to hospital cause i was feeling suicidal again i hate when i get like that its very scary but then the next day i feel a little better then better again the next i usually feel like that once a month i have made that connection by monitering my moods quite scary but now i made that connection i can work on it.My doctor is going away for 8 weeks and my psychologist has been away for the past month but he returns this week so i get to see him thank god.I usually see them both weekly.I hate change i know they cant revolve their lives around me and how im feeling but i just feel like a trainwreck at times.Things are still a mess with my husband i truly dont even feel like i love him anymore but then i dont know if thats the depression talking or not we dont get along at all anymore we cant even agree to disagree which naturally makes me feel worse but hey if you choose to do nothing nothing will be done.sorry for rambling on again just feeling very alone right now.Gabbi.

Thanks for your reply Batty i am sure thats what i have but im too scared to tell my doctor i have noticed my moods go from feeling like i could conquer the world to being quite suicidal i have taken a few online tests and they have all said the same about having it but im too scared because i mentioned it to my mother a few weeks ago and as she works in the health industry i thought she would help but she got all weird and said dont be stupid its just your hormones if i found out i had bipolar i would kill myself they have a horrible time.So hence why i dont want to see the doctor about it.Gabbi.

No Panic Attacks

Thanks for caring Sharon i am having an ok day today quite anxious but i'll get there.I would love to just run and hide away from everything and that makes me feel so guilty because my kids need me more than ever with their father being the way he is at the moment i dont see how i could get away i wouldnt trust him to care for them properly and he clashes something fierce with my eldest son who has behavioral problems.its a catch22.But i know i can feel stronger again i have been ok before i will be ok again(im trying to convince myself anyway)How have you been going with the therapy is it getting a bit easier for you?I hope so i love seeing my psychologist he makes everything feel like it will be ok again even if its only for an hour. :)Gabbi.
