Hi ya. I sort of stumbled across this site and I thought I'd give it go..
I'm a 37 yr old mum of 4 who is completely barmey most of the time. Thing is the nuttyness is now really becoming a big problem.
I have despression and I take 40mg fluoxetine every day. I was on 20mg for a year but doc has put it up. Thing is I am really beginning to wonder if my meds are doing anything as my head is always mushy and all I want to do is sleep. I could guite easily sleep 16 hrs a day. I have really bad bouts of extreme tiredness which is affecting my driving and my work and it is really scaring me.
My doctor is not much help, all he says is the flu should wake me up.
I get confused and angry at a drop of a hat and I'm making my kids lives hell.
My biggest issue is weight gain. Over the last year I've piled on an extra 2 1/2 stone. I have been calorie counting and tyring so hard to watch what I eat that I'm becomming obsesive. The kids are healthier but I'm fatter! I used to walk everywhere but now I'm always so tired that I drive everywhere and I've stopped excercising :(
I smoke way too much and I don't think this is helping the situation.
Which problem do I deal with first? I so wanna be me again
