Hey guys, I like posting on here as i dont feel so alone and it gives me a chance to vent on things I cant where I am!
I am a week in. I feel energyless and spaced out and groggy, but nothing too awful.
Of course the anxiety is there, niggling.
I have big issues being on my medication. I think about my 'illnesses' all day every day. I have moments I dont feel like me and that im going to lose it or go crazy.
People and my counsellor tell me that i need to help myself and let go, and that I think too much and my negativity has an impact on how I feel and almost dosent aid the citalopram at all.
I look back at photos from last year and im sad. I was so positive, and happy and did everything with my children, and I cant stop feeling sad im not that person anymore. Id give anything to be me again, and the happy loving mother and person i was!
This whole thing is tiring, tiring pretending i am okay to everybody when my issues and niggling anxiety are inside.
Anyone else feel the same? Xx

Tiring is definitely the word for it. We all have those days when we wish we were back to a happier time. I think you just need to focus on getting back there in the future, rather than wanting to go back to the past.
