What would you get rid of

Feeling tired for me, also! I honestly think that if I wasn't so tired a lot of my other problems would either go away or be easier to manage!

Looks like we have a hat-trick. I find that being so tired affects the whole family, not just one person.

ME x

We like you different Paulst x

How you feeling now, hope you are feeling better xx

Will be thinking of you....

Let us know how you get on.

paulst, sorry to hear you're having troubles right now! Let us know how the doc visit goes, 'kay?

Fatigue for me as well and the inability to concentrate. I've got loads of emails and things at home that I ought to be dealing with and I just can't get on with them.

I can't pin anything down. I just wish it would all go away. If its between fatigue and anxiety, then its the anxiety.

Anxiety for me - especially when it makes me cry uncontrollably when I'm in the supermarket or walking down the street!

Yeh I only wish that I could learn to cry like women in the movies so it doesn't look so bad! Instead I sob so much that I get the hiccups and old women come up to me in the street to ask me if I'm ok!

Good idea Jo!

I was so teary I blurred my vision whilst driving and hit two curbs - HOW BAD IS THAT....

I left work early AGAIN and managed to ride my horse this afternoon though - and she challenged me all the way but made me smile if only for a moment. We cantered into the sun at 2:30 and I couldn't see a thing it was so bright and just let her lead the way! I still cried when I got home and was horrible to my boyfriend and now in my PJ's feeling awful - the tension between my sholder blades is intense.... :-(

Am I the only one who doesnt get bad anxiety? I dont have time to think too much about things, and just do them. I do then think that the whole world hates me, then push the self destruct button.

Also having a few chats online, am I the only one that eats tons more junk food when Im bad - to lift my mood, then my mood dumps with more tiredness and the cycle begins again. I thought that was a typical SAD trait!

Am I being paranoid again? oh dear.

Put your paranoia back in the box ME xxx

I am not especially anxious, but am very tired, lethagic, grumpy (very!) and I do over eat crud - crisps and chocolate are the worst for me.

thanks piglet

I dont know how to tell you this - but my craving at the moment is for Bacon sandwiches (sorry) and anything with sugar in.

My doctor took me off Prozac, said that I didnt need them after all. 5 days later, Im now feeling pretty flat again. Food intake increased 3 fold, and making more excuses about not doing exercise. I even turned up for a class on the wrong day, so I know Im getting forgetful again too.

My last messages here indicate that my paranoia must coming back too

Told my husband that our lifes are just totally uncompatible this morning - not nastily just seriously.

Think I need to restart my tablets, before I start crying again and start my self destruct routine.

Im fine, just concerned, I dont want to go back again.

Ok flower.
She said that if I get low again, to start them off again. Im not depressed yet, but so low!!!

Keep thinking that I will be ok and its all in the mind, but I know deep down what its all about. Just got to resign myself to taking them again.

And thats difficult until you reach rock bottom, because my natural reaction is that I can deal with it.

How were you on Prozac? It made me very groggy (not good) but suppressed my appetite (excellent)

Thats nice to hear Me. x

When I took prozac, I felt really good, except, I just couldnt get to sleep, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldnt switch off. But just for improving mood, I think they are excellent, in fact if it wasnt for the sleep problems, I would be taking them now.

COuld comment on sexual dysfunction, but it's a bit public here, innit. I wish they'd bring back the PM option!
