Fatigued and frustrated

[taffysteve]

Hiya everyone - I'm tired and frustrated and need to vent - is that ok?

I am soooooo frustrated at the moment because I want to be better so badly. On the surface, I should be so happy with my life - I have a great family (though they live far away) a fab partner who is more understanding than I could ever wish for and a good circle of friends who take me as I am. So why am I not happy??? :(

I am going through another period of set-back at the moment, so my emotions are all up the duff and I feel like I am on cruise control - just getting through each day as best as I can.

Work are being terrfic - supportive as can be. I haven't taken any time off (mainly for fear of being in the house alone!) but a lot of the time, I just sit at my desk and stare out of the window or at my screen.

I'm not sleeping well at the moment - waking up at 3-4am every day. I've not got a great appetite either so I'm losing loads of weight.

Thinking of trying hypnotherapy as recommended by another contributor - but you know how it is - I don't believe it will work for me.

Thank goodness for this forum and Claire Weekes' books - makes a huge difference.

Thanks for listening xxx

Thanks for your posts folks...

I am on meds Helen - Lustral 50mg - apparently a fairly low dose, so may chat to my GP about an increase...In all honesty though, I think I may be depressed because I'm fed up of the rollercoaster!

Thanks for the recommendation Mary Rose - I will look into the Paul McKenna CDs.

Cheers - I really appreciate your time!

hi steve
we've been communicating through the hypnotherapy thread...Im perhaps going to try it...so should you ..im skeptikal but hey anything is worth a try...
Steve are you on meds..please try...although its something that peeps don,t like to take, they do help but (as ive made the mistake in the past) rely on them to lull you into a false sense of security. They make you feel so well that you forget you have GAD..But when you finally have a relapse like I have..you realise that meds relieve the symptons not the cause so now as well as meds im having CBt..demanding Psych help and reading Clare Weeks...dont be like me waiting ten years for it to dawn on you get help now...PM me anytime as I know exactly what you are going through

Hi,
I know exactly how you feel. I am always exhausted, over tired and can`t seem to get comfortable sleep. I have just come to terms with my problems and can`t get comfortable with day to day issues. I hate it!!:( Why?!
I have very supportive staff in my household and understand how to let it all out, but i can`t seem to control the aftermath..
I just hope i can get it better soon and get on with my life again!!


LOL
