hello folks...well where do i start,.I am 51 years old and 6 years ago started with what i thought was going mad!! Upon waking the very first thought was fear!!
I didnt know what i was scared of, so my mind would flick through thoughts if that makes sense, trying to find something to be scared of...Then i found it was the fear of being scared!!.
Also without knowing full details of certain people i remembered some who have lost their mind, and done crazy things, one of them couldnt see them self in the mirror! The other one couldnt talk !! So i became fixated on those , thinking with great fear that those things were going to happen to me,..I didnt even know these people personally i just remembered them for their mental state...
I went to my doctor too ashamed to tell her my thoughts but just burst into tears. She gave me citalopram 2 a day...i took those for 2 years and decided last june 2011 i wanted to stop taking them..Since then i have been fine, a couple of wobbles but nothing i couldnt handle.
Then today when i woke "BANG!!! the whole thing has returned!!! Im a tad disappointed though as i have taken 2 of my citalopram that i havent taken for over 8 months...but thats how bad i felt when i woke this morning.
I will see what tomorrow brings but i dont want to stop start them as i know that doesnt work..ill either carry on taking them or stop , IF I DARE! #
Should i report this to my doctor or just tell her in passing the next time i go..as she assumes im stil on them anyway, though as i did tell her id stopped taking them last year.
Some thing is worrying me still though......hopefully a silly thought.but when people do lose control of reality, and get pushed over the edge into a total breakdown...,Is it this what im going through now that would cause it?......that scares me so much , thinking that all these thoughts can cause me to have a breakdown i wont have one will i?
ive had a stresssfull couple of months and dont know if that has brought it back on or is it the menopause? I dont even know if im going through the menopause as i dont have periods anymore due to the type of contraceptive pill that i take..
On the upside, i know that i got better last time..and know i will get rid of these thoughts agasin one day soon hopefully ., apart from the silly thoughts for now im quite healthy xxxxxx HAS ANYONE ELSE FELT ANY OF THESE THINGS?
