A message of hope

Women's health

Hello ladies

I haven't posted for a while although I do keep up with what's going on for you guys. My post today is really a message of hope. I've just been reading back through my journal entries from this time last year when i was desperate, suicidal, and convinced I'd end up in a psychiatric ward. Since then I have found a wonderful consultant in women's health, have had a mirena coil fitted, am taking anti depressants and started on HRT. I also visit a counsellor regularly. I don't know what the future holds as far coming off HRT etc is concerned all I can tell you is I have my life back. I am back to work having made a lifestyle change and starting to work for myself. I still have my struggles and symptoms still trouble me but I can cope. This morning I actually felt happy for the first time in 12 months.

I suppose my message is don't give up, accept whatever help you need - there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Have a good day my friends x

Hi Anita

This is good news. I'm wondering if you would now be able to give up the anti depressants?

I had tried those plus mood stabilisers and really just didn't think they were doing much so soldiered on without them.

Started HRT and within the first 2 weeks depression and anxiety began to lift. I'd had it 10 years tried all sorts pharmaceutical and natural. Nothing has ever done for my symptoms what the HRT alone has.
