Changing meds

[BPDSurvivor]

Hi everybody!

@WIP @Eve7 @Maggie @Anastasia @Zoe7 

It's so great to see each of us support one other during times of crisis.

By nature, MH has many ups and downs. What makes it different here is that we can all uphold and strengthen one another.

@WIP , as others have said, please don't feel embarrassed or ashamed. I myself have been in your situation and it is there to remind us we are human. @WIP , I know you have been through a lot. It is your determination and resilience which has brought you thus far. I've been amazed at how you have clung on and been able to reach out here as well as other services. Just continue pushing through. Fight on, soldier on and don't let depression get the better of you.

 You've got all of us behind you, just like what you would do for us.

@BPDSurvivor You know just what to say at the right time - thank you my valued friend.

I have been through a lot, a bloody lot and some

daya it just gets the better of me, particularly not being stable with my meds atm.

I will keep being a soldier and fight my way through each day, no matter what it brings

Increase in this new med has to kick in soon, and I can start working on how I got here in the first place.

How are you enjoying your holidays dear @BPDSurvivor ?

Love L xx

You mean a lot to me @WIP . From the very beginning, I felt a real connection. I have felt the emotional pain you were going through, and could not, but have compassion. My aim is not to tell you that everything will be wonderful, but I do aim to tell you the truth. MH has it downs, but it definitely has ups too. It helps us grow in ourselves. If I didn't have MH experiences, I would be the most heartless, snobby, and proud individual. Hence I am glad I have these challenges. As I said, my MH journey has enabled me to meet REAL people. 

As for my holidays, they are drawing to a close. After that, I have one more week working from home before I go back on-site to school. I have not been onsite since March. I'll be thrilled to see everybody when we all return.

Today, I had a 4-hour brunch with work colleagues (via WebEx), then I went for a 10km walk. The weather was sensational! 

Anyway, looking forward to hearing from you @WIP . Remember, sometimes, things get just that little bit worse before they get better.

I honesty felt such a connection with you @BPDSurvivor from my very first post. You were so kind and supportive to reply & have been there ever since along my journey. I admire you so very much...

All the therapy you have done comes through in your advice and inspires me to keep searching along the same path you have so bravely taken.

I can't imagine the feeling of excitement you have for going back into the office. D hold some

abrehension too, but you've got the situation under control - you warrior!

i hope we stay in touch....please!

Wow, losing weight on antipsychotics. I wish my doctor had given me the ones you are on, rather than swapping me over without explaining the side effects. I will never forgive him for that @Eve7 

I would put on weight overnight & I told Him so - he just nodded & said yes, that happens.

being this heavy has made my depression worse. I've never been this big. As an adult, always a

snug 10, to 12.

Now I'm a snug 14 & growing!!!!

Imhave so many beautiful, expensive work clothes, I can't being myself to donate them.

i need to is them as motivation to lose weight and get well enough to work.
