Hi Mazz,
Try to keep yourself busy, it will take your mind off of the irrational thoughts that are going around in your head, its because we think to much that we get these thoughts.
Take care

Hey Mazz,

Why not just try watching a good dvd/video?

Every time you avoid your fears they become stronger,every time you face your fears they become weaker.

Hey Mazz,

Sorry today isn't so good for you. Maybe as others say watch the box/dvd or come into chat later if you find that helps.
Its very hard going when you can't motivate yourself, I do appreciate that and have been there, just try some distractions to help even putting on some favourite music on headphones and sitting listening to that can help!

Take care and maybe see you in chat

Hi Mazz,

Aw, hope you are feeling better today.
I got the full force anxiety too, when I started and then each time I upped my dosage (I'm on citalopram).
I went from 10mg to 40mg, upped by 10mg each time over a few months. It passes after a few days. It is very difficult in the first week or two of meds so don't be too hard on yourself, how you feel is NOT nice but it's perfectly normal when you start meds. Take care,

Hello!

I'm so sorry that you are feeling down today! I woke up analysing my whole body this morning! It's an awfl feeling... but a everyone has said, distraction is the best thing! :)

The thing that works for me, and that has worked for me this morning...is .. making myself look good today! :)I know it may sound absolutely stupid, but I decided to wax my legs, pluck my eyebrows, shave my arm-pits, put a face-mask on, do my toe and hand nails,put some funky nailvarnish on... everything.. the whole lot.. just to makemyself look all nice an d pretty. I think it works for both men and women, just maybe using different things ! :)

Even if you don't go out and do anything (which I am not planning n doing); it will just make you feel much nicer and hhopeful ythat will make oyu feel psychologicaly a little more positive! :) Oh.. and did I foregt to mention teh cucumber on your eyes! :)

Hope you have a better rest of the day! :)

hi mazz, i know how you're feeling at the mo, i've been feeling the same and i've to force myself to go to my mates party 2nite[Sigh...] since it's such a bad nite (weather wise) get your pj's on, get a load of munchies and watch a good dvd curled up in front of the fire! or pamper yourself this evening, or both. Hope you feel better soon
