    Post Christmas Exhaustion

    Anyone else feel totally ruined after Christmas?

    I think it's days of putting on a brave face and forcing myself into a variety of situations, but I tried to chilled evening last night, and have just crashed!

    What meds did you start?
    I've been given Escitalopram, but haven't started them yet. I have been running every day, hoping to get a boost that way.

    Christmas went a tiny bit better than I expected, as I have been in a right mess lately, but it's confusing me that I'm so much worse now it's over.
    Hoping it's just a bit of a come down from pushing myself so hard the last few days.

    I started venlafaxine I was on 37.5mg for 5 days 75mg for 7 days now taking 112.5mg 4 days so 16 days in total I woke up really anxious Christmas Day had to just get on with it didn't want to ruin it for my kids it's been the worse I've been constantly thinking I'm just going to stop breathing or I'm dying have a feeling I'm not here when I know I am it all got worse 3 weeks ago when tested positive for covid I literally broke down was saying I'm going to die and that's how I've felt since had numerous ambulance call outs and 1 er visit had ecg bloods and xray done all came back perfect yet I'm still panicking why I don't know I only had mild symptoms and they went like 12 days ago I thought retesting and getting a negative result will put my mind a ease but it just came back positive again so that set me off again thinking it's still in my body attacking me you are stronger then I am I wouldn't be able to cope without meds just hoping these ones will kick in soon

    How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

    I'm not stronger, I've been in a right mess, and I'm as surprised as anyone I've made it through.

    Running has been my release.

    That's exactly how I started this morning.

    I was just genuinely exhausted, aching and tense, I think it's just hard work for us. Hoping it just gradually eases.

    At 30, you really don't have to worry about Covid, especially now you've had it! You are in the prime position, as you've already had the worst Covid can give you. I'm 34, and honestly couldn't care less if I catch it or not, I would actually like to of had it, and got it out of the way.
