Hi

Well done

I no how you feel , it is daunting , wondering if anyone will reply , maybe thinking I don't no what to say or what people will think of me

I remember my first blog & sat there thinking "will anyone reply " so relieved when they did & hope you feel the same relieve now

Can even feel that way when I blog now , I think it may be part of anxiety

The more you talk , it will get better though

Its lovely to hear from you & I hope we will hear more now you have taken this first step

Well done you

love

Hi Penelope,

Were all in the same boat here, it is difficult to write the blogs, but its also good to let out these feelings to people that understand. We may not have the answers for you, but do try.

Just knowing your not alone helps too, its certainly a comfort to me on the dark nights, and a bit of fun aswell.

There's some great people on here.

Where to start...........I find whatever is troubling my mind at the time, is where I start.

Give it a go, and see if the light headedness and nauseous feelings abate, these feelings are the same when we are excited too, but somehow we dont associate them as bad then.

Wishing you well

Baylienxxx

Hi to all of you who have replied to me I got up did housework then decided to be brave and see if anyone had responded I have been so lonely and in a dark place for so long now with my jelly brain all wobbly ,I am trying breathing right to get through this am so shaky am suffering effects of coming off diazepam too quickly my doctor upped my amtriptyline and sertraline to help but it's been hard road so far.But have joined this site months ago too scared to blog just reading comments hoping to find some light and realise if I don't try I will never know what it might do for me.Well feeling exhausted so will finish now . My sincere thanks for even reading my blog felt so alone for ages.

Bless you , see we have replied

I no the fear though that no one will , but someone always does

Now I hope you will feel free to talk , sometimes , someone may get a few replies others at times one , it can be just how well people feel on the day or time , so don't ever see it as no one cares , because they do

Diazepam can be hard to come of , try to bear with it , your GP seems to have given other meds to help .

It will pass even though it can feel unpleasant , if you have been on them a while you can get with drawls coming of them, but it will get better

Keep coming on & talking

Hi all and thankyou for making me less worried about being on this site.I have been told by my doctor I will have problems for the rest of my life and my brain is scarred ptsd as he calls it!My problems go so far back and every time I get unwell my brain is flooded with all the bad things and I feel so ashamed of myself after all I don't have a terminal illness,just bad choices and wrong roads taken.Unlucky for me this time my doctor got my meds wrong and I had severe side effects had to go on diazepam in large doses to compensate he did apologise and he is good but it's knocked me back in confidence in myself and getting better.If I ramble on I apologise I not had anyone to talk to in very long time.Don't get me wrong I do have a large family but they don't cope with me when I am unwell and they told me they don't want to hear about it,I don't blame them they have seen and been through a lot.I put lots of weight on when I am like this and it doesn't help me with getting out and confidence either!Being like this anxiety depression etc has brought on colliitis so when I do get better and go out every little detail has to be preplanned down to where all the toilets are spare underwear pills water smelling salts etc etc but other than this I am a relatively normal harrassed busy stressed wife mum and nanny.oh and daughter with very ill parents.That's another problem mum in hospital and not getting up to see her too panicky.Feel very ashamed about this!Boy am i getting lot off my chest and feel calmer now at last!Well this is a little bit about me love to you all Pennyxx
