Sorry!  Needed to start a new post as it was taking ages for the other one to load.  One of the joys of living in the country and being at the very end of a line.

Have you thought about asking for respite while your T is away?  Would that help to take some pressure off you?

Hey.  Not all meds have major side-effects.  Some are minimal.  The lorazepam I sometimes take for anxiety seems OK.  I'm sure there is something that, if taken short-term, could help.
You only have another two weeks to hang in there now before your T gets back.  By the time he gets back you'll be wondering what all the stress was about.

I guess if you can wait another week then sometimes its ok to push it a bit.
Thats what i'm thinking the doctor wonders why i don't take the medication, but i read the side effects and i won't take them.
I am still anxious today, but i spoke to my social worker i don't know if it helped or not, she has booked me respite for 4 days at the end of July thats when i see my therapist again, i might be glad of the place by then.
I think depression and anxiety mixed together are not good.
I hope you have a good day. Take care

Ok for me at the moment.  I cancelled my doctor's appointment for today.  Have one for next week.  Was just trying to push it out a little.  Not sure whether that was a good idea or not.

You should ask for some meds to help you with your anxiety.  They must think we're bonkers when we won't take stuff to even help ourselves.  I think the depression also makes it harder to take.

I thought i was going mad yesterday but i didn't, i had to go to bed i couldn't cope mentally anymore and i get confused and tired so i slept for a while.
I went to my GP today telling him i was ill, i rang and got an emergency appointment, he said no psychially i'm fine its mentally where i have the problems, i told him i was going mad he said i'm not its the depression and anxiety thats making me feel so ill and i need medication, he said everytime he sees me i'm worse, i told him no medication, so he just smiled at me and said you know where to get me when you need me.
Today i stayed in bed until after 1, then when i got up i decided i would go with my partner and the two youngest ones to feed the deer and the ducks apart from panicking that i was to far from the car it was ok i actually felt normal for a while, came home and got anxious and panicky again, i give up.
My social worker is to get in touch tomorrow to see how i am, i am going to tell her just take me away, or maybe not.
How are things with you? Take care

Just a sore foot.  Other than that not too bad.
Maybe relocating would be a good idea.  Stressful but a new/ fresh start.

Yeah the more energy is good it doesn't last though usually only a few days but i am glad of it i get some housework done, then i have weeks of no energy.
I went to the parade i panicked the whole way there, i calmed for a while but left in the interval the second part is taking place now but we went home, the children got bored after a while so it was a good excuse to leave.
A run thats good, i expect you will feel sore tomorrow after all that.
It was good to be away for a while i didn't think about stuff that i usually do when i'm at home so that helped, but i'm glad to be home even though i was only 10 miles down the road.
We were also thinking of moving house to see if that would help but i'm not sure it would, the memories and fears are with me no matter where and live, so i have decided to stay here.
I hope you have a good day and that you aren't too sore.
