Sounds great, I'd love to have the opportunity to work with something like that.

For me, the anxiety and depression are worse in that sometimes I think I'm the only person around that feels like this, being with others would be brilliant for me.

Hope you enjoy it and it goes well for you

[gregcool]

Thanks giys..Yes finally..iv pushed and pushed and iv pushed.all buttons all door bells .i had to argue with my chrises team .telling them this is my body that they are playing with and i want to be in control of what goes in it and what helps it..after a leanthly descusion i got what they should have gave me years ago..
Well it will be a big step for me tom as they are going to sugest coming off trazadone.he told me that is typicle gp style..old medication..he said gp only have the power to give certain meds and after all fails with them.you get refered to the big guys who om with.where they have the power and knowledge of newer drugs..so ill be getting modern drugs to help my anxiey and for treeting my sleep insomnia problems...

[gregcool]

Well i hope today goes well..I havnt woke feeling in a possitive frame of mind..ahhrrrr..woke feeling instantly negative and the old dull panic feeling....everything i saw clear yesterday..seems dark and not possible today..i hate these highs and low's....

[PanchoGoz]

This always happens for me in the morning, but it doesn't have to affect your day! Look at it subjectively, this is just chemicals stored up while I've been asleep, today can and will be a good day, today is positive, I'll just keep going even if I feel bad...

[Tessar]

as Pancho sais, remaining positive even if you dont feel that way does make a difference. It isnt easy to do, especially if like you, Greg, you feel particularly down but it does help even if the efforts seem futile sometimes. You keep your chin up if you can. Are you going to the day centre every day of the week?

[gregcool]

Im at the center now..iv been given a new meds today at 12pm..iv started to become very very tired...they have put me on a very small dose because of my bad tolerance ro meds and the side effects...well i hope something good happens..
Im hear 5 days a week and chrises team have now discharged me over to this team..so once they think im ok to continue without there support they will discharge me also and with a care plan of some kind...so i realy need to make the most of this hear..my own concern is that ill be hear for a few weeks and then ill get discharged and find the quiet life on my own again hard..

[Annie0904]

Greg I hope they keep giving you the support until you feel ready to move on and not when they think. I hope the new meds work well for you too. What have they given you? :hugs:

[Jamesk]

I am really delighted for you - great news - sounds like a marvellous step forward.

[gregcool]

Thankyou guys for support as allways..iv posted a New possitive post today....
