So then Hurrah!!!!!
Started 10mg Cit on 14th July - increased to 20mg on 29th July and today I can celebrate my first good weekend in ages. With Hubs on nights all this week I have been sleeping alone and at the weekend he obviously has to sleep during the day.
Not only have I been fine in the evenings and getting up in morning for work alone, I have also had quite a relaxed weekend and had some fun along the way. A couple of minor "body burns" (in the past that would had led to a bigger attack), but this time just a couple of breaths and moved right along. Did the weekly shop alone and enjoyed it and spent a lovely afternoon today playing with my great nephew.
Just wanted at this point now to say despite my fear and dislike of medication and also my massive fear of going insane I can see the light at the end of my tunnel.
Counselling, meditation, self analysis and a belief I can beat this go alongside the meds. The meds are a chance for me to breathe and look at my life to resolve all of this and allow me to learn how to accept this as part of who I am and just let it be a part of me without it controlling me.
Guess I just wanted to say to all, thank you for all the invaluable support I have found on here and that there is a light for all of us to reach and reach it we will
