I Surrender!

[magicsheep]

Hi everyone,

Well I have finally decided to visit the doctors tomorrow and go back on the tablets and hopefully be refered to a counsellor (again)

After my bad day yesterday I was still feeling pretty rough and decided to go have some acupuncture I will admit that i feel better this afternoon but being told 'You're in a bad way' with the prices they charged, i could have told them that for free!

So although I didn't want to go back on the tablets again, I was being a martyr thinking I will do this on my own, I have surrendered and made appointment for the morning.

My supportive wonderful husband was looking through the net for me for days trying to find an alternative to tablets again but I know thats what will work and I have to do the rest in my head. I am just so grateful he understands me and tries so hard to make it better, I am so lucky! (or is he unlucky ;) )

Let you know how I get on tomorrow, it's not far but the explaining how I feel will be tough! But i'll do it.

Nothing wrong with being on meds!

The important thing is that you know they will help you.

Good luck at the doctors.

I admire your positivity!

That is always the key to recovery. Seems like you know wot you are doing and are trying everything in your power to get back on track.

Good on you!

Ive tried hard to manage without tabs but my god its been difficult.
I feel so guilty for not being able to go to work or go on holiday It really gets to me at times. But i am making progress even tho its only slow.
I really hope you begin to feel better soon, pse keep us informed as to how you are going on.

Take care

Good luck at the Docs today.
Hope you get the courage to say how this is really making you feel.
I think anxiety has a habit of making us hide how we really feel!

Well done you. I wish I was brave enough to go to the docs and admit that I have a problem. Let us know how you get on.

Hiya,

Not long got back from the doctors. Unfortunately it was really busy and had to wait 25 mins, which is unusual but although I was not comfortable, I managed.

My doctor is lovely, I moved from the south west up north two years ago and lucky I found a GP as good as my previous one. I told her everything, my daughter, me etc and she really listened and took the time to hear what I was saying. The end result is back on the tablets but as she said as mental problems are very present in my family history it might be an idea to stay on them rather than do a rollacoaster every year. We'll see.

Thanks for all the support and good wishes.

Hi magic.

Don't give yourself a hard time about being on meds. I am taking seroxat now. I decided that trying not to was not helping me. Only making my life unbearable. If it were another illness we would not worry so much about taking something which helps.

My hubby is on high blood pressure tablets. He doesn't taking tablets, especially long term, but he know that they make him better.

Hope this helps.

Lisa.
