A job offer from a friend last night kick started a real low....I guess it made me think about how debilitating this illness is ,and no matter what the job is, I am not in the right place to take it on board...made me feel sad I have to tell her later this evening. I guess it's just brought everything to the forefront...
I have arranged too much for today...Drs this morning and CBT this afternoon all too much in one day for me right now...but I will do it...
Feeling tired...I guess I have the opposite to most, I sleep too much...I sleep a lot...
have you tried EMDR with a hypnotherapist ? i have had a session a month for a year and cannot beilive the difference it has made - i actually feel almost 'normal'. i as on meds for 8 years, it has taken me 6 months to get off them, i just wish i had met this therapist 8 years ago and my life wouldnt have been so awful for that time, i couldnt even fill the car with petrol when i first became ill.
it' vastly underestimated and very little real help out there even if you fight for it, the doctor gave me pills and a therapist who went off sick after 2 sessions ! lol
it is eye movement desentisation therapy - works by looking from side to side and in conjunction with hypnotherapy for trauma reprocessing - mind was death of father in law, mother in law, and hubby having spinal op all in 18 months - too busy coping not giving myself time to adjust

EMDR is what got me getting better......
however its used for trauma, like sometihng that happened in the past thats still affecting how you cope today.
Hey Sue, I know exactly how you feel I want to have an income but I can't take a job on board at the moment, we just have to take it one day at a time, I also get tired all the time and sleep excessively which can be very debilitating. I hope the Drs and CBT went well, I really want to get some therapy but am strongly doubting I will get any referral from my GP, they are worse than hopeless! Fell better soon, I'm here for you xxx
I went to Drs that was ok got a note for another month on sick pay..went to CBT that was ok too.....
I would urge you to get all the help you can, don't sit back and suffer, and even if you don't think you will get something make it your business to ask and be assertive...you deserve it...don't think ...do it...we all have the odd hour or day where we feel ok...I tend to do it then I research and find help...don't give up...this life can be a batch but some days/hours I'm going to fight back......not always possible but I will bloody try.....
Ps I spoke to my friend about the job and for the first time in my life admitted my illness, it felt good. She was understanding and I guess it helps that I like and trust her..but it was a big step to admit it, as I don't tell no one....xx
