Hi I posted in the wrong place to introduce myself and say hello....so I will start over....
I was started on citralopram Friday last week I was supposed to take half a tablet for two days and then a full one every day from then on (20mg). I felt so sick with waves of nausea coming over me that first day and have continued to feel sick ever since..... consequently I have stayed on half a tablet as don't want to feel worse. I saw my GP today and she said that is fine 10mg will help with anxiety but for the depression that I am feeling a full tablet would be more benificial. I will stop on 10mg for now..... also today when I went I have an infected finger!!!!! and am on anti-biotics now as well for a week...which themselves can cause sickness so I'm a right case PLUS I go back to work tomorrow after the school hols. (Am a Teaching Assistant).
I really don't want to go back..... the fact that I received a text by mistake from a colleague about me making very nasty comments is not helping me..... (I cried for a fair bit after receiving that at the w/end...just what I didn't need). I will see my line manager tomorrow and tell her but chances are she won't be interested....tried calling her but she has her phone switched off the whole of the school holidays.
I am two years down the line from a divorce (married 25yrs) and I started off strong (ex said I was weak and wouldn't cope on my own....so I strove to prove him wrong)..... now though I am feeling weak and very low. I moved into a flat from my divorce (our two children stopped in the house with their dad...19 & 23 they are now).
I decided I wanted to move from my flat to a small house in the early summer and I got buyer for my flat and found a small house that I could afford (50% shared ownership)....I panicked and backed out of everything but then a few weeks later thought this is silly I want to move and have my reasons........so it is all back on again and I'm so so scared of doing this move on my own.....one it is costing me a lot more than I thought it would and two the house needs work doing and I'm worried about that...... my mum lives a long way from me (3hrs by train) she has alzheimers and is quite aggresive with it.... my older sisiter lives close to our mother and she is her carer....sadly she (my sister) has turned quite hostile towards me as feels I am not pulling my weight and should get down to help out more..... HOW can I??? I live miles away I don't drive ....I can only take holidays when schools break ....and beside that our mother is so nasty to me when I do go down...... sorry I have rambled on way too much.....but wanted to tell some of the reasons why I am so down and feel unable to cope..... I need some 'talk therapy' I think and am going to try to get some......:unsure:
Thankyou for reading..... B x
