As some of you know, I have been through a bit of a bad patch, with anxiety, and feeling really down.and I was getting worried that it would get worse.
I have stopped drinking red wine every night, eaten mostly nothing but healthy foods and fruit, lots of water, started going to bed earlier and getting lots of exercise by walking. I have stopped eating cheese again - because every time I eat cheese I get depressed! I love cheese too :(
I know the wine was not making the medication work properly. It's so tempting to have a glass of wine in the evenings to help relax me, but I just can't give in not at the moment.
I have started to feel better and yesterday and so far today, I feel a lot happier and a lot less emotional and tired.
I just hope it lasts for a while! I know my mood is going to go down again at some point but I just hope its not for a while yet.
My gp wouldn't give me mood stabilisers as I am such a high dose of Citalopram :shrug: and he doesn't think my moods warrant me having mood stabiliser! Maybe he should come and live with me or ask my boyfriend!!! lol
Thank You to everyone who sent me lovely messages. They really helped me.:hugs:
