Hi all,

Just need a bit of reassurance as feeling really low today :(

My anxiety lately has been under control and fairly manageable which has been great! [Yeah!]:D

I was on holiday last week and had a lovely time. I dog sat for Mum in Plymouth for a week. The second week I went on a couple of daytrips. Plus I went to visit an old friend in Taunton and even went out on the town with her and some of her friends. I coped even though I had a few palpitations as it was so noisy an busy! Think I’ll stick to Burdocks pub! So lately been feeling a bit of a buzz as been getting out lots!

Anyway the early hours of this morning I woke up having a big anxiety attack. [}:)] Not sure why really. I dealt with it but now it's left me feeling so down and depressed and really disheartened. Got to go to work in an hour but really feel crap! Just got to do that brave face thing though and put on a smile. :)

I just wonder why it is sometimes harder to cope some days then others [?] I have had blips before and dealt with them but today is so hard. It's like being given a really heavy weight I just can't lift :(

I have an appointment on Wednesday to have a couple of moles removed. Although a bit nervous it's what I want so I just don't know what’s going on in my head at the mo [Duh!]

Sorry to waffle on,

Thanks Guys ;)

Take care,

Love PIP'S XX [:X]

Hi Pips

I know how you feel. Im exactly the same today (see my post).

I cant understand why im so down today.

I did have a very vivid dream and so i think thats effected me today plus im worrying about going for a doctors and hospital check up this week.

Its horrible how our minds work!! Ive had a greta couple of weeks, then today...Bang..and i feel lke im right back where I started!

Probaly going to work will do you good and try to take your mind off things and help you focus on somthin else.

I hope things get a little bit better for you today :)

Hi Pip,
Sorry to hear your a bit down after your time away.
You can find it goes that way sometimes.
You tend to do to much all in one go cause you feel fine....then...bang your right down again.

What you have to do is think Hey I done it last week. I'm so proud of myself for doing it...but...now I need a little rest. Please don't beat yourself up over it.

Hope this helps honey. Take care

with good wishes

Hi Pips,
Sorry you are feeling down today, but so glad you had a lovely holiday, well done, you obviously coped with everything so well, and now it's back to the normal routine, work, housework etc.. anyone going back to work after a holiday feels a bit down, i just think it gets over exaggerated when we are feeling anxious and then, wham, we're off again. Bad thoughts, symptoms return with a vengeance etc....I think, maybe your doctors apointment is playing on your mind, although there is nothing to worry about, we always do don't we? Take care and keep in touch xxxxx

Hi Pips

It will knock you how it has when you have being having a pretty good time. Just remember how far you have come and this is a blip, yeah maybe a harder one than you have previously experienced but you will get through it. You will also be feeling drained as it does that to us. But dont be so hard on yourself feeling you have let it get to us, it gets to the best of then.

Grap the PMT mate and call me if you get a minute at work and want to talk.

Thinking of you.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Blips are hard Pips but you know how to get over them.

Every so often you get a tougher one than normal which puts us out of kilter for a day or two .

It does pass and you will get over it.

Hi Pips

Sorry you're feeling a bit down today. This happens to everyone from time to time, and can knock you a bit.

You can get through it though and back on track.

Hi All,;)

[Wow!] You guys are so fantastic [:I] I just can't thank you enough. Tatty Bear[^] Zena[^] Sue[^] Carlin [^]Kairen [^]Sal[^]Meg [^]Nicola[^]Karen[^] for all your kind words and support it really helps enormously. As although my hubby is good and he tries to understand. It's so hard for me to explain to a non sufferer he just doesn't quite get it! He nods [:P] along to what i'm saying but I don't think it goes in really! Bless him! So it's just so great being able to open up to such caring people who understand!

I went to work anyway and got though that! (Thanks Sal for your text hun and kind words it was good of you and i will call you soon mate)

I am still feeling pretty POO :( but i'm trying to be more optimistic and thanks to the good advice and true words you all gave I have a head start!

I think the thing with my anxiety/panic/depression etc is that I was just coping day to day and getting by just managing fine not great but good enough! Then all of a sudden a ladder was in front of me and i started climbing it and every rung I climbed i felt better. It felt so good I was even going about 3 hrs without even thinking about anxiety! [Wow!][Yeah!][:O] The trouble was cause i climbed so high that when it came back and hit me big time [}:)] I fell right down![Oops!][Duh!] It's so blikin hard to make it to the top though[Sigh...]

I know now I have got to start climbing that ladder again. I just feel like someone's pinched my enthusiasm and happiness [Sigh...]. I'm sure it will turn up again probably when i least expect it huh!

Thanks again guys you are ACE! :D

Take care all, ;)

Love and wishes

[Wow!] Guys :D :D

Once again a BIG BIG thankyou for all your support it means so much [Yeah!];)

I had 2 moles removed yesteday from my face it wasn't the nicest experience as you can probably imagine! The worst thing was as it was only a local anaesthetic so I was awake through it and could hear all what was going on. I'm pretty squemish to. Only took 40 minutes though so not to bad.

Just when I thought it was over though I got to have the stiches out in a weeks time :( Wish they had of been dissolvable stiches!

Anyway today I am feeling very sore and tender and a bit down still. Got to go to work soon don't finish till tommorow morning either as got a sleep-in![Sigh...] Could have done without it really but I thought well I only gonna mope around here. I gonna feel sore where ever I go! So might as well go in! I just feel really anxious about it as no one knows in work and the type of plaster on my face is like skin coloured. So it looks really werid as i am fair skinned and this plaster is quite dark. Looks like i got chocolate on my face! LOL[:O] So got some explaining to do![:I]

Sal I will call you soon mate I promise got a long weekend on in work BOO HOO! Thanks so much for your concern hun!

Thanks once again you guys are Fab!

Take good Care all
