Wow I had a really interesting and fruitfull session with the shrink... lol it's only taken Christ knows how long (4 an a bit years) to trust and respect him.
He nearly slipped up when was going to suggest putting me on Lithium as a mood stabilizer. Because I told him that my moods were back to ups and downs (high highs) (low lows. It made me realise where as all my other Anti-depressants may have stabilized my mood, it kept it at a stable low. I deserve a few good days even if they are followed by lows, it's an equilibrium which suits me just fine...lol
We spent ages discussing the problems with work and he's gonna write them a letter bringing them up to speed. Especially as they seem narked that when I am fit to return I will still need therapy...bunch of ******** ********* ********* ********* lol don't want to get myself in trouble now... still the ball will be in their court.. and we'll see what they have to say and want. <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif">
Finally we addressed the insomnia which is getting way out of control as I'm running out of ideas on how to beat, and I was gobsmacked when he suggested I smoke canabis before I go to bed to completely relax.... pity he couldn't give me a prescription..(which would have been free as I'm on incapacity benefit) oh well I'll have to w8 for some cash to come through and make a phonecall ASAP and get my prescription from my friendly chemist <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif">
God the doc was sooo cool, tons of respect for him...lol

The river is wide and oh so deep. I've been walking around in tears, No answers arethere to get. Cause between this world and eternity there is a face I hope to see

I had a life once, but I stopped feeding it so one day it just walked away.

im so glad it went well 4u ((((((luka))))))
i recommended a herbal remedy to GFM called kava kava for anxiety. Neway, it really helps me when i need it. It basically puts u in a really relaxed state and ppl use it for insomnia. It's like you'v ad a few drinks.
I don't know whether it will help u, but i thought it mite b worth putting it down. if ur insomnia is really severe then it mite not b any gud, but u can get it from a health shop and u shud chek with ur doc b4 u go on it bcoz it cud clash with ur other medication.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
drifter i havent noticed a massive difference, it certainly doesnt feel like ive had a few drinks! been taking it for about 10 days now, and i feel pretty much normal. although it has had the desired effect and im not cacking my pants about tomorrow now!!!! still felt a bit nervous but i guess thats normal. or maybe im just not going to be as nervous as before? ah well, however its worked im not complaining! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches, only takes one match to burn a thousand trees
Lmao glad u found it so helpfull Luka. Its funny u saying about smoking cannabis. I used to have real problems sleeping (although it was partly to do with the 'uppers' I was self prescribing lmao) and I used to smoke a joint or two to get me off at night. I dont really smoke puff and have never really liked it much as all it ever does is make me go to sleep lmao but its good if thats what u want it for <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
Maybe mine was stronger than urs. it knocks me out! I guess it can effect different ppl in different ways too.
Glad its workin 4 ya!
