I'm going to a wedding today on my own.....and I'm nervous, but I want to be there.....would hate to miss it. Fingers crossed for me that I don't get too anxious xx
Good luck , x
Wishing you lots of luck Iris! I have attended a wedding on my own and like you was very nervous (it's only natural) but I ended up having a great time. I'm sure others will understand and you should find someone to talk to. Hope you have a great day, enjoy! xx
Good luck Iris. You can do it. A few glasses of wine & you'll be fine. X
Good luck 😊 Im sure you'll do great. This will be me in a few weeks and I'm dreading it!!! X
I'd hate myself if I didn't go to it!
Wishing you an enjoyable day. Let us know how it went , a bit of nerves going anywhere on your own is natural. Position yourself so that you do not feel confined , say at the end of a seating row not in the middle. Good luck.
Don't beat yourself up, it was good that u even considered going, how long have u been on your meds xx
Been on increased dose for 33 days now. I drove 55 miles, set out far too early, and arrived 45 mins early! Feel proud of myself that I did it though....I only knew he bride and I was on my own. I stayed for the meal, even tho I was terrified I had no appetite......but ate everything. Left at 6.....had car packed to go to caravan, but was so tired I came home. Went straight to sleep! After 33 days I still have that low mood feeling in my diaphragm/lower chest, and no motivation. How I wish.........but I know it's still early days x how are you all? I feel like smashing plates.....feel so frustrated!

Hi iris
yoy did exceptionally well. Take strength from that. 33days is still very early considering it can usually take 8 weeks to feel full benefit.
Im still moving in the right direction but still not back to my bubbly self yet.
We are going on holiday in 2 weeks & im nervous that I won't feel mentally well enough. Thought about cancelling a few days ago but my husband works so hard & needs a break in the sun. Xx
Well done u, that's fantastic!! I'm still not in the right place to even consider doing that lol, I've only been on increased dose 4 days , felt dreadful this morning but feeling a little calmer now xx
Hi mumsie pops how long have u been on yours now? Did u find the mornings awful and have u found there getting better thanks x
Yes Tracy the mornings were worse but things are seeming much brighter. I was on 50mg for 3weeks & then increased to 100mg for the last 10 days. I may even step up to 150 but will give it another month until after my hol as don't want added side effects to spoil things.
Aww it's good to hear , gives me hope , I was on 50mg 2 weeks and have just started 100mg 4 days ago , feeling quite nausea at the min!! Was your brain constantly on the go waiting for the anxious feelings to start lol x
Well, well, well. I was so pleased with myself for going to the wedding, and I thought all I had to do this morning was be so happy, but that dark cloud is back, been in floods of tears. I hate this low mood....I want it to lift and get on with my life
Yes I'm such a negative person. All the time I'm waiting for something to go wrong. I just don't ever want to be in that scary anxious situation again.
I think I need a bit of counselling on how to become more positive!!
the nausea will go soon I promise. It took about 5/6 days for my anxiety to subside on 100mg. Stay in touch. X
I know it's horrible , but we will eventually get there , I know this sounds daft but I find when I'm due on I cry lots and feel worse xx
