PTSD return years later?
Hi, I had a 2.5wk ICU stay in 2003 due to septicaemia. Nearly died - was heavily sedated, ventilated along with a lot of other stuff. Very lucky escape. At the time, suffered horrific hallucinations and panic/anxiety attacks. When I finally left hospital after 6wks, I had flashbacks, nightmares and

HELP!!! I'm heading towards self destruct.....as usual!
I have been following the NHS Choices Weight Loss Plan, for the last 5 weeks, and managed to lose 11 pounds. However, we went away for the weekend and obviously it was difficult to count calories, I don't think I ate that much, but when I got back I'd managed to put 5 pounds back on!! My problem is I

I need some serious help right now, never been so down! :'(
After having my radioactive treatment in September I am now on 150mg of levothyroxine, after years and years of treatments of Graves' disease I feel like I'm going mad.. I used to feel what I thought was normal, I'm not an anxious mess, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, depression, I will not leave the

Tips on how to beat that little voice inside...
Hi all! I am starting Wk9 tomorrow and am so amazingly pleased with my progress and this podcast, Laura is awesome! I've mostly been enjoying the runs that I've done, and feel so happy afterwards when you get the nod from Laura to do your cool down walk, but I must admit, I still get that little voice

Granny-Shuffle forever?
Hi everyone. Not posted for a while but hoping for some reassurance. I got to end of W7 then had to stop for a couple of weeks and started W6 . Did run1 twice and then run2 twice , but it feels so hard, even when I slow down so much that one foot hardly lands in front of the other. I don't think it helps

I honestly don't know what to do
As far as I know I've suffered with depression for around five years coming and going. But lately, life just feels like it's stopped. I've stopped caring and almost feeling anything. I feel empty, like everything is simply pointless. I feel as though I've tried everything. A few years ago I took antidepressents

Week 8, run 2 and time to say goodbye to Laura
I do feel a bit guilty, she got me this far after all, but running to my own music (and using the countdown timer on my ancient mobile phone) was a lot better, although ringtone not a patch on Laura! Kept reminding myself of Laura's pep talks, especially at the end. I used the top gun soundtrack so there

IT'S GETTING BETTER (as The Beatles sang...)
Well gor blimey guv'nor! I had a rather superb run this morning. Let me set the scene.... After a hectic week at work I managed a lie in this morning, which for me is a rare thing because I'm one of those people that wakes up at "get up for work" time every bloomin' weekend! Drives me mad. Anyway, I

planning one thing then doing another!
So for my first run in couple of weeks and I had originally planned to ease back into it gently and not risk picking up a niggly injury. Plus I was feeling a bit low after not running so the idea was to pep myself up and go back to familiar territory with Laura & the W9 podcast. Walking down the road

Premature Speedaculation!
Went out this morning and attempted my 5K route using a new tactic - (yet another bloomin' new tactic...!). To run the first 2 K's as fast as possible and then see what happened. I set off like a rocket. Smoke came from my running shoes, my skin looked like I'd had a terrible facelift by an unqualified

Festival time... big test!
Today I leave to go to my first ever festival with my boyfriend, and his sister and her boyfriend. I'm feeling a mixture of apprehension, nerves, excitement and fear... I've been looking forward to this day for so long, and I suppose part of the reason why I'm all nervy is totally normal- 1st time, what

Help with Armour and high bp please
Have managed to get myself up to 1.5 grains of armour, no levo, feeling ok, just a bit undermedicated. Cortisol results show low cortisol throughout the day and high DHEA, the results came back with a comment stating there is a recent study showing low cortisol and high DHEA can be a marker for PTSD

Think I need the tablets now.....
This EMDR is so tough at the moment. Still suffering PTSD from an experience from years ago that has re-emerged with the therapy I have had from the recent trauma. Have started on the citalopram as I am so scared about how I'm feeling, trying not to slip back into that black hole.............

My first blog as a graduate :-)
I went out feeling not just a little apprehensive this morning. After the elation of completing week 9 ...would I be able to do it again? I don't know why but i felt that I was kidding myself and that last week was just 3 flukes. So when I reached 20 mins and was flagging a bit, I gave myself
