First blip today since starting meds in early Dec.

Triggered by feeling poorly with a slight shiverry bug and that 'end of holidays' feeling. Recent step up to 40 mg Cit may also be contributing.

Slept most of the day. Tomorrow's another day. La de Da...

Hi Mr Badger,

Tomorrow will be better, it's been a busy two weeks with christmas and new year. Try not to focus on the blip, the road to recovery is not a straight one , unfortunately, but we WILL get there in the end. Take care. x

You could always try the Games section on NMP..guaranteed to keep your mind occupied.

Or if like me you have the attention span of a gnat, they are guaranteed to drive you up the wall with frustration.

Better day tomorrow :flowers:

Hi sorry for the dumb question, what is exactly a blip? ...

A Blip. A temporary set back in recovery. In my case having a day of low mood and moderate anxiety after 3 excellent weeks.

Sometimes people fear they are having a relapse when its actually just a 'blip'; short lived and hopefully manageable. often caused by changes or meds doses being raised or lowered.

Others may welll be able to define better.

Not a daft question at all. I'm trying to accept them first. I've managed to get things done today which is a good thing for my general well being. Some find exercise good, relaxation techniques, meditation, just hanging out with people or nesting quietly.
