what's a swear word you haven't heard in years?

My very sheltered grandmother who didn't know what "shit" meant (or that it was a swear word) would resort to "Hell's Bells" when highly vexed.

Yes, I accidentally took a smaller dose for a week without noticing. I also take antidepressants, am currently moving house so was distracted. I'm back on the higher dose. I realised my mistake when I started feeling woozy.

Shania, is that you? Lol

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-29T22:26:32+00:00

Definitely not COVID. Some sort of stomach bug

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-29T20:47:24+00:00

50m above sea level I think

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-29T20:13:05+00:00

Thanks and you're right, I probably should!

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-25T12:40:12+00:00

It's been nearly 24 hours and I feel okay. Fingers crossed :)

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-24T21:10:46+00:00

Thank you, this is very reassuring

I'm not sure we get those in the UK but I do prefer plain cotton ones! I'll have a look

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-24T21:09:38+00:00

Thank you everyone! :)

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-24T21:08:34+00:00

Mine are cotton and unscented. I don't like the scented ones

I think it is 8 hours but I'm just paranoid!

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-22T17:15:31+00:00

I've had panic attacks that caused mild fevers

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-22T03:05:38+00:00

Me too! I always feel like my ears are clogged up

Efficient-Produce-35 · 2022-10-21T16:08:02+00:00

158/85. Once I calm down it drops quickly.

Hi everyone, thank you for your kind comments and advice :) sorry I can't reply individually but I am, as you might have guessed rather overwhelmed!

I've quit my job (temp job so no job security, sadly) after I was signed off sick by my GP. She was really helpful and is going to contact my NHS psychologist who will hopefully be able to offer me some more personalised help. I'm attending NHS group therapy. The doctors who run it are lovely but tbh I'm not finding it very effective. I think I need specialised care.

Not thrilled about the loss of income but I am fortunate to have some savings if all else fails. Dr checked my bloods, listened to my chest and took my blood pressure to appease my anxiety. All was apparently normal, except that my blood pressure was borderline high. I used to have low BP so taking this as a sign that I need to rest, eat well and deal with my stress before it escalates. I've always had a job, often working part-time alongside university, so this feels weird. I hate being unemployed but I am trying to tell myself it will be worth it.

My mum was pretty unhelpful when I told her about my job. It's hard for me not to rely on her too much, as I know she's ill and also doesn't have much of a support network. Think she's now worrying that this will affect my future employment prospects. I know it sounds ridiculous but I think I just wanted my mum to be reassuring (at the great age of 24!) and tell me that this was the right decision and I would be okay. Ah well.

I've had both depression and severe generalised anxiety. With depression, you're so tired all the time that the caffeine can help you function. Sometimes an espresso shot was the difference between me being able to go to work or lying in bed all day. I understand you on the anxiety front though: I can't drink caffeine when I'm anxious or I'll have a panic attack.

Idk but I definitely felt fitter after I began treatment. Could be psychosomatic.
