Hi folks!
I had a couple of weeks where I felt a lot better and far more positive but the negative thoughts and fear have come back with a vengeance. I was putting my life back together but I feel terrified again. Has anyone else had this? I’m trying to ignore it but it’s got worse the last day and a bit.
Any similar circumstances or advice gratefully received!
i had a horrible blip into one year of my celexa .so yes blips are expected thru out recovery and after been recovered.
Thank you. Did it make you feel you were back to square one?
Aw Rachael,
I’m sorry to see this. If it helps I had it happen to me at week 4, week 8 & a little one about 3 weeks ago. The more often it happens the more I am able to control it rather than it control me…it’s not easy though. In relation to the bad thoughts or racing thoughts in my case, I just don’t allow a minute of silence. If I’m not preoccupied by the kids I have music on, TV & my fave is Audio books. I wake a lot through the night & during my blips I would plug my head phones in straight away & just listen until I fell asleep. In fact I’ve given myself a fright a couple of times by waking and having a stranger talking to me 
Hoping you pull through soon xx
yes ma’am.horrible .it will subside again.
Thank you so much 
Thank you lovely. You’ve been so great messaging me through the past few months! Yes audio books really do help me. Art has helped me a lot today too. It’s funny how it brings you right back to believing all the thoughts again. I’ve got my journal so have reminded myself that I can feel better again at times and will again.
It will definitely pass. Am currently starting week 13 of 10mg. Had an awful week in week 9, and it passed. Felt anxious, couldn’t sleep, back to square one nearly. I think it was alcohol/tiredness/flu related.
Again yesterday, had a bit of a dodgy day. For me, they happen when I’m tired or a bit stressed. They are a good sign to slow my pace, I so much want to be back to ‘normal’ that I rush ahead.
So, don’t worry. It’s all normal in the course of healing. Take a rest if you can, don’t fight it, and it will right itself.
Sending virtual hug x
Thank you so much. Yes I think I’ve pushed myself to be better and to get on with my life. I was in a very high powered job which I’ve had to give up. I’ve never had to leave a job before for my mental health but I’ve had to this time as I’m just not well enough to do it. Have started a part time job doing something much more simple whilst I try to recover. It’s a huge change but I knew I had to put my health first. Good luck to you too.
