Down in the dumps

[-caz]

Hi guys , not been on for a while has any one else suffered from very low mood or low self esteem finding it hard to get back to normal 🤗

Hi -caz 😊🌸🌿🦋

I’m sooo very sorry you’re having such a struggle to recover from the blues.

If you’ve had this for a while and can’t seem to shake it you might want to see your doctor for counseling and antidepressants.

The longer depression goes on the harder it is to treat.

🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

I hope you get relief soon. Best wishes and take care

Have a chat with your GP and explain that your current medication isn't helping. There is plenty of others they can try you on, or they may want to put you back on trazadone again if you felt that they helped in the past.

Good luck, and hope you start to feel better soon xx

Hi there -Caz nice to meet you. I too am also a Kaz. 😂😂double trouble hey.

I just wanted to say sorry you are feeling low. I too do go through these terrible stages and I find it comes hand in hand with terrible flare ups or weeks even? Do you find this happens to you??? I am on venlafaxine 225mg and the amitriptyline. I have had the amitriptyline increased recently. I just don’t want you to feel alone and please feel free to message if you need a chat.

It is hard dealing with all we do but I’ve learnt to rest more at these times and don’t do anything you don’t really want to as it makes things worse just do what makes you happy. Are you still trying to work also??

Sending gentle hugs and have a chat with your GP you know your own body so if you feel the meds are not changing you have every right to ask for something else.

Try and have a good day gentle hugs keep in touch. 💕🦋

Morning caz it is really hard to suffer with low mood and self esteem something I read that happens a lot to fibro sufferers , also I’ve been through this and felt like for months I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, I was put on duloxtene after a few weeks it certaintly seems to have lifted my mood and at the moment I’m enjoying the good side of life in between the fibro pain etc. It is also good for anxiety which I had as well and supposed to help with fibro I was told by doc. Go back to your gp and have a chat let him/her let them know your struggling see what alternatives they can offer , I’m hoping soon with the right meds you can post again and things have changed for you xx

[-caz in reply to YASMINTINA]

I didn't do to well on duloxetine was defo better on trazadone but suppose it will pass just maybe having an episode and not realizing it broke my arm into bargain so not used to doing nothing lol but thanks its nice to know im not alone 🤔😀

Sorry to hear your feeling so low at the mo. Yes i also get like that and its difficult to bring yourself out of it. I find just going with it and taking one day at a time is best. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Its only to be expected with everything we have to cope with on a daily basis. Hoping you feel better in yourself soon. Xxx

[-caz in reply to Louinpain]

Im under pressure all the time my mum doesnt keep well and as people know family life can be stressful at times too i have booked holiday with my mum get a wee break so something to look forward too 😫🤔🤗

[Louinpain in reply to -caz]

I think a break sounds perfect and fingers crossed it will give you time away to relax and unwind. Enjoy it chick xxx

[-caz in reply to Louinpain]

Thank you 🤗

Hi Caz, yes know how that feels Hun, the best thing to do is ride it out, do what you can on good days and don’t push yourself on the bad, it really helps to look at our posts as they help you forget just for a bit how we are feeling, and also when we post to support others it makes you feel good, sending big hugs and best wishes for you 🤗🤗🤗🤗💐🌻🌺NanaT

[-caz]

[-caz]

[NanaTisme]
