I survived

Treatment and medication
1

Thank you all for your good wishes. I survived day 1, another 5 days to go (9- 20 start finishing at 4pm)

Stomach so tense all day and feel a bit wiped out this evening but I did it.

Course includes mindfullness, sleep management, relaxation techniques and much more. I didn't find it easy to cope with but will be back there to tomorrow. Watch this space for a report on day 2

I 'm on week 4 of 30mg dose of mirtazapine taken at night.

Yes these courses can be intense but just remember if it is a group session everyone else is in the same boat.  It is not easy what you are doing and I applaud you for just doing it

I took an 8 week mindfulness/meditation course as designed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and also found it helpful. Glad that you are doing well.
