The thing's that are helping me through my early days is being able to notice that I am gritting my teeth so I am trying to keep that in mind so not to cause my self headaches
as I think that's why I have been getting them .
Also joined a gym and went yesterday , It helped me sleep through the night which was really good as I been unable to sleep , also got husband to massage my head to help relive some tension .
Cooked choc brownies and made tiffin yesterday figured if I try to not sit down do stuff it will help and it seems to work for me , when I have been on meds before I just
sat and did nothing which has given me too much time to think myself sick so I
have promised myself not to do it this time .
So here's hopping that I can keep things up !!!!!!
Going to try a pilates class tomorrow at the gym as I know I need to relax and try not to
worry about taking the sertraline so much .Its almost as if I have been waiting to see what side affects I get which I think dwelling on it make's matters worst .
One thing I am glad about the crying has stopped and suicidal thoughts have gone quite quickly .
Hi Tracey, excellent. I am on day 7....my crazy thoughts and guilt are slowly wearing away but still come into my head now and again which then gives me that nervous chest feeling. The last week though has almost been a blur. Trying to keep myself busy as signed off for two weeks but know I couldn't handle work which would bring on my dreadful IBS which is why I'm going down the sertraline route. Good luck and keep positive.
Hi jammyc1973, The nervous chest feeling know what you mean I just thought that may be that's tension
I had that last night but been ok today , I did say to my doctor that I wondered if I was going through
the menopause and that was maybe why I was crying so much and was suffering suicidal thoughts .
I must admit I was a little scared to go on it as I spent 9yrs on a really high dose off Velaflaxine and boy
I was so ill in the end and taking overdoses 120 co proxamol I was just left on them too long that on top off
over working my self its took me 8 months to come back down to earth then about a month ago I noticed
I started to feel unwell again.
I do have lots off health issues underactive thyroid , type 2 diabetes and lots off stuff regards abuse
going on .
So its just a matter off trusting my doctor and take the meds maybe not so long this time , although
I still feel it may be the menopause that's the main culprit .
Good luck to you too .
