week 6

Treatment and medication
1

Hi everyone. Good to hear some success stories!

I have had 2 very stress filled weeks, mainly concerning relationship breakdown, even had my life threatened & assaulted by her new fella! Dont want to get police involved cos I have to work with them alot. Anyway the good thing now is I have moved out, have a place of my own. Bit lonely, but I do feel less stressed. In fact feeling a bit numb, is that normal?

I really hope it is kicking in as I have just started work on my biggest ever case at work and it means lots of driving, lots of PR with client for the next 5 weeks, plus an exam bang in the middle of May! The last exam was cancelled due to this awful illness, I really want to get it out the way, as its only way to move on in present career. A waffling now!

So good to have you all out there!

Hi Stu,

I'm on week 6 or 7 too, and I recognise the numb feeling. In fact, I was on here posting earlier this week posting about the very same thing, not knowing whether or not the drug was working... not really feeling worse, but not feeling better either.

The good news is I do feel quite a bit better today, and so I hope it'll continue. You're not alone, and it sounds like you're doing all the right things to help yourself get through this - well done!

Hi Stu,

just thought I'd drop by and wish you all the best for the exam (in the next couple of weeks?)

Thanks Lelly that means so much!

The exams on Saturday in Cardiff of all places. People say I will stroll it but I have less confidence after the events of the last few months. I had hoped flu would have kicked as this is week 8.

Had very bad weekend, wondered whether it was flu or something else. Had terrible headache, sore throat and sweats. I feel bit better after a day at work( that cant be right) so I dont think its swine flu just yet!

I hope you are feeling a bit better. Like you I could do with something nice to happen, some positive vibes! I have had so many things go pear shape lately, all when I have been at my lowest. I suppose if things stop going wrong, thats an improvement.

At the end of the day I have got through what I hope to be the worst, and its thanks to people like you on here, especially with todays kind wishes, that help me!

Take care & I am sure something good is just around the corner, you deserve it!
