I actually spoke to mum as well today and she was actually paying attention so that was good. She thinks I should speak to the GP too.
I’ve just had enough of being like this all the time and I feel like I just can’t do anything else to help myself at the moment. I just have no energy whatsoever
I’ve been prescribed mirtazapine because it can help sleep too. I just hope it helps.
Ahh brill, I’m so glad you have such an understanding GP😊
Fingers crossed those meds can help. How are you feeling now?
I’m nervous about starting the meds but just hoping that they help. I can pick them up this afternoon so can start today so long as the chemist have them in stock. Apparently they have less side effects generally than sertraline - sertraline put me off trying another medication for months lol.
I’ve got less tired as the day’s gone on, I was just glad I got a decent sleep. Have been feeling a bit dizzy but nothing serious and nothing like what I had with sertraline after a couple of days.
I’m just feeling really low tonight. I hate being so sad. I just wish things were better. I’m getting on ok with the meds and my sleep is much better on them but obviously they take a few weeks to work and right now I just feel so down and could really do with a hug
I wish I could give you a huge hug Elle
I don’t really have any advice I just wanted to say we’re all here for you and we all care about you so much. Always happy to listen
