Treatment and medication

So today I took my 28th tablet.

I think I’m lucky, and can see both positive changes and improvement. There have even been 3 days (I’m keeping a little table) where I felt “normal”. Mind you, that’s normal but not yet doing things that make me anxious but that beats feeling anxious just doing nothing much. Baby steps.

Side effects haven’t been too bad. Still having to dash to the loo after meals most days; I’ve had hand tremors for three days; and I can’t stay asleep a whole night.

My GP referred me to a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, and I had my first session with her this week. She was good.

I’m seeing the GP in about a fortnight to check on how the F. is doing but also to get feedback about a poor test result. That, I’m worried about. The rest of my anxiety is just anxiety about the anxiety, and I think Fluoxetine plus the PWP is the way to go, but the other thing is a worry.

Oops! Breakfast was an hour ago - off I Trot! (tmi)
