Positive NOT

[Candace8]

Ok so I try really hard to be positive , life has been bad at mo. I can't even be bothered to write why down. That's how bad things are at mo. 😖

But things will improve, of that there is no doubt. Time, and all that jazz...

Keep your chin up. You've done it before, you'll do it again. Your strength is your, well, strength.

Best wishes,

Andy

Thank you. I think a few kind and positive words is all I was looking for x

Which means things WILL get better.

Without the bad times the good wouldn't seem so good.

Although I wish we didn't have to have the bad times.

All the best .

It's bad when you can't even face writing what the bad thing is poor you. Why else can you do but keep going.......tomorrow is another day . I'm sory you're not feeling so good hoping tomorrow is better. Sending u a big hug x

[Candace8]

Thank you so much Hun. Feeling a bit better already. I know it's just temp and I'm sure tomorrow I will be back to normal. Getting help and hugs from you all reminds me I'm not alone and it's very normal. Just an argh moment I guess x

Oh how sad for you. It's hopefully just a bad day or two and things can only get better. Keep remembering that, the sun will shine, you will feel more positive and will soon be on the way to feeling more yourself. We're all thinking of you. Jan

When you have hit bottom, there is only one way to go and in a few years time you can look back and say "remember when ....."

[Candace8 in reply to sospan]

Running out of years it's been happening for so long !!!

[sospan in reply to Candace8]

Nah, not even half way there yet ....

Still got get some miles under that bikini belt ....... even though there is probably more material in the metaphorical belt than the actual bikini

Awe not good to hear, wish there was a dislike button! You keep your chin up, tomorrow is another day and another fresh start. Horrible days like that suck but we beat them and we survive it, our bi has taught us that. I've had bad times too that I wish I could share but too long a story to go into, plus it hurts too much to even write about it.... some people don't understand but everyone here does, keep remembering that! Lots of love. xx

[Candace8 in reply to peaches2]

Thank you Hun. I couldn't write it either. It was just lots of things really bad and I was tipped over when my dad yest said he has to have a heart op now. The thought of loosing him was the push over x

[TaIaV in reply to Candace8]

I can certainly understand how that news would hit you hard. I imagine that the worst case outcome was all you could think of at the time. I pray you get a time of rest and comfort in order to get past this new fear and emotional pain. Once past that, I hope that the facts of his situation will give you the real comfort you need -- the knowledge that with treatment, your dad will still be with us for a long time. All the best, Taia

[peaches2 in reply to Candace8]

That news was bound to be difficult, sorry to hear that. You rem tho, we re all in the same boat and we refuse to sink! You take care. xx

[Candace8 in reply to peaches2]

Thanks Hun x

I'm a SAH sufferer. What I have learnt from it is how precious and wonderful life is. When I'm down I remember this and fight to ensure I witness it. Perhaps you're having a down day. We all get them. But it'll get better and then grasp life with everything you've got xx

[sca2013]

So sorry you've had a bad month. And its is perfectly ok that is how it has been for you, even though that has been hard to experience. Here's wishing you a better day today and many more of the good days going forward.

[Candace8]

Thank you all. I am feeling ABIT better today but still a bit bad. Had a terrible night of anxiety and was awake most of night and when I managed to sleep I woke up in a massive sweat to was freezing. A few changes of pjs later it was morning 😳 hey we have all had night like that ain't we lol x

Hi Candy, so sad to read your post. It is one of the worst feelings on the world to feel so anxious and down.

I have felt this way on and off for years until it was taking over my life. Every minute of every day was a worry about absolutely anything and everything.

I battled against taking anti depressants until I just couldn't carry on anymore feeling so down and anxious.

I started taking them in March and it took at least 6 weeks before I felt any better, during that time I must admit I felt even worse and this can be a side effect.

Now, I have exactly the same worries and anxieties but it has taken the edge off them and I'm able to enjoy things more and cope better.

My Dr has been excellent and explained that it's best I stay on them for 6 months and then reduce the dose gradually until I come off them.

I didn't want to take anti depressants and did my best not to but they've helped me, they're not for everyone though.

Thinking of you and hope one way or another you can conquer your anxieties. Much love xx

[Candace8 in reply to Alice5]

Thank you Hun. Things in my mind just explode but it sounds like you know that. When I look back I'm sure it will appear diff but for now things are a " trauma " to me x

[Candace8 in reply to Candace8]

Doc changing my antidepressants but she's asked for help and I trust her. It's taking time but I trust the outcome. Iv been on my tablets 5 years now and they ob not working x

[gabimou]

Only last week my neurologist asked me,yes asked me if wanted to try Xanax so I agreed started fri now off them.

I only had to take 1x morning and 1 x night but I felt worse didn't help that on the sunday night I didn't sleep and had a really bad day at work due to lack of sleep.

Called my neurologist who said stop them and go back on Clonotril 0.5mg which I take

along side my levetiracetam ,but I only take one when I start feeling anxious so some days I only take one .

[Candace8 in reply to gabimou]

That's why she getting help from someone who knows more. That's why I trust her cause if she got it wrong like that I would be worried for myself x
