Thank you everyone for your wishes! I’m really struggling two weeks in. I think my medication is making me tired and restless, and I’m having unwanted thoughts which make me worried I’m getting ill again. My doctor is back on Wednesday and I hope he can help me.

Hello Jessi_D

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with unwanted thoughts. I know it's very difficult but try not to worry. Perhaps it's just a question of getting the right medication and balance you need? I've read my notes from years ago that my intrusive thoughts were managed by a change in medication, so hopefully your doctor will be able to reassure you on Wednesday. For now, rest as much as you can and take care.
