this week has been a little better, thank goodness. no drama, but still picking up the pieces from last week emotional upsets.
her job is safe, so thats one hurdle gone. the not sleeping is still an issue, but every now and again she gets a good sleep.
we went to a big shopping centre yesterday, and i was so proud, she coped fab in the shops, its only 13 weeks ago she had a panic in debenhams when 1 person was at the till, we had to leave without buying anything. i like to remind her of these improvements so she can see how far she has come.
she has altered in the fact, she likes routine now, she likes to be at home, its her safe place. i would say from day 9 when i first noticed a little change on the meds, she has blossomed each week, some days were a nightmare in parts until she got home and curled up under her blanket, but she coped, and now 15 weeks in, she seems to be in a happy place once more. i usually say, keep smiling at the end of my posts, but today, im smiling too, and hoping for a peaceful week. xx
Fab news honey! So pleased for both of you as it must be such a strain on you. There is a better place but it takes such a long time its sometimes hard to believe isnt it. Hope it continues every day!
Im in a good place, bursting with energy despite return of insomnia and everyone has said its nice to "have you back" which ia how I feel. Hoping it lasts.
Take care and keep smiling :-)

yay, im so happy you finally feel in a good place, and that those a round you notice it too, when daughter next goes back to see the dr he has said they will chat about her coming off the tablets.....now, i worried when she went on, and soon will be worrying again about her coming off them!!
oh, thats made my day, im so so pleased you are smiling everyday!!
never more so have i meant, "keep smiling" xx
Hi Karen. Iv not posted for a while. Baby now 7 weeks and I was doing great just myself 
but . ... I had a dip and the anxiety and depression is creeping in again so I went to see my gp and he's told me to take 40mg so I'm really scared of a) it getting bad again b) the increase
So glad ur daughter is well and ur both happy I hope is the end now for her xxxx
Hey karen
Hows your daughter doing? Hope you're both still smiling? :-)
Im doing really well, apart from waking at silly oclock most mornings!

hi vix!!
im so glad your doing well, it took its time getting here, and was a long journey, but you made it, well done.
daughter is doing good, still not sleeping, still hot sweats in the night, any emotional upsets become "drama", and take a few days to get over, she is loving her new car, but even though her job is safe, she feels she wants to move on.
she is week 19 on monday, im guessing soon the gp will say to come off them soon,as she is back to " normal" in herself.
keep smiling vix,
Glad she's doing well. Ita a real sign making plana for the future, i find myself so excited a bout life ivw made lota of plans for future , nighta out trips away holidays. I stil wake up between 4 & 5 every day now n cant get back to sleep but ita s small price to pay. Unfortunately one of the few things to do at that time is Internet shopping so im going a bit mad buying stuff, hubby nor impressed:-)
Dont be in a hurry for her to come off them. I had 4-5 months on different ad 18 months ago and felt so good came off them but six months later hit a low again worse than before my dr says stay on them min 6 months after you feel fully well oe chances od relapse are quite high and this time im going to listen to her!!!
Im gonna take a mini for test drive next week but I've kinda fallen in live with a kia soul which my hubby saya ia pig ugly but im really taken with it no idea why- does look a bit funky! Haha great drive tho so I need to let him test drive too.
Keep smiling both of you.
