3rd day of taking Fluoxetine

Hi

This is my 3rd day of taking the meds and i feel crap. I haven't even got dressed today as i just can't stand to move.

I know i need to carry on taking these as i am getting worse with my anxiety and depression. I put my hand through the glass door at the weekend to cut my wrists so i need help.

I've just been reading some comments and that has made me go and take the tablet this morning going to need motivation every day to take it for a while, can't even get washed at the moment.

My hubby will be in soon and he will make me get washed n dressed but i feel worse for him having to do this i should be up and doing it myself.

I've got everything i could wish 4 in life but got no motivation to enjoy it. I will keep writing and reading just to get me through this for my familys sake

Hi Lilibeth,

Just read your post and I wanted to reply to you to let you know you are not alone with either your actions or your feelings. you've done the right thing by posting a messge on this site where folk can help, listen and advise.

I take my tablet before I go to bed, so I sleep through the side effects and feel a bit more alove through the day, than when I took then in the morning.

Perhaps ask for counselling as it sounds like you may have some underlying feelings there you need to get up and out your system.

Stay strong, if not just for you, for your family's sake. They need you and you need them. Keep posting to let us know how you're doing.

Hi Lilibeth

I just want to tell you that just over 2 weeks ago, I felt exactly as you do now. I had no faith in these pills at all, and I dont think I would be here now if not for this site (And that is sooo true Ang, Gaz, John B and all the other lovely people on here). It has been hard, and all I can advise you to do, is just keep taking them, and let them get in your system, because today, for the first time in months and months, I feel on a level 'keel' or even keel as they say. This is seriously the first day I have felt like this.

The people on here are amazing, just know that you are not alone babe, you couldnt feel lower than you must have felt when you put your arms through that glass door. I did something silly too - it's like you don't want to die, but you don't want to live. It's a horrible way to be feeling. Just take the time to sleep and rest, and I know you can't be bothered to do anything, I am exactly the same.

Ang has kept me going, by posting and I kind of looked forward a bit, even just to think that the more days that go by, the easier it will get, and Ang is about a week ahead of me, and if it wasn't for her, I dont think I would have had anything to keep me going.

You're part of here now, so the only way is going to be up babe, and I am living proof of this

Come on babe, we're all here to help xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ah Suz! Thanks :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am DELIGHTED that today you feel good, I hope it's the first of many good days! I'm smiling now and you've cheered me up!

And Lilibeth, Suz is right, everyone here wants to help each other as we all know how we're feeling. I've had one suidical thought on 4 weeks and dismissed it immediately, we need to be strong for our families and overall, number 1 - ourselves.

Ladies (and gents!), keep up the good work, you will have crappy days and you'll have good days, we can get through this. And - it's Friday, so that's another reason to smile :o

Suz - go and get that PizzaHut with the kids! i'm off to an engagement party tonight with my other half and I sooooo cannot be bothered to get fancied up and put a smile on for his work colleagues but I'm going to do it because it'll keep him happy and stop them thinking he has a moody cow for his girlfriend! Plus, I may even enjoy a few hours out without the little fella!

TTFN, Ang x

I am 41, and for the third time in my life - or in the last 10 years have been in this \"place\" . On monday I thought about running my car off the road, thought how easy it would be to jump off this emotional rollercoaster.

Lillibett jas summed up my \"feeling\" i have everything yet feel nothing since monday. I have shut down.

I never knew a site like this exsisted :?:

Hi

Thanks for the support and advice.

I tried to speak to a counsellor years ago but it didn't work out well. The 1st sessions he told me he didn'tthink i was depressed as my hair was clean the next 3 sessions he told me he thought he had prostate cancer and thought he was dying, i walked out of the last session came off the meds and didn't step back into the docs until this week.

I did think i would be talking to myself on this site as there is so much on the internet you don't know whats good and whats not and whether people bother to look on them this is alot better than theraphy for me at the moment.

Thanks a lot for all your support and now i know there is somewhere to go when i am feeling down then i will be back on this site alot.

Cheers

Liz
