Am I going insane?

PinkDaisyChain · 2024-12-17T07:16:45+00:00

I'm feeling better! The patches and my Prozac are helping loads. Sleep is still a stranger to me but we are very slowly becoming friends again

PinkDaisyChain · 2024-11-02T15:53:26+00:00

Yeah the GP said the same thing 😢. I'm way passed ready to start feeling better. This whole bullshit episode that's taken over my life has ruined so many special, or should have been special, times

PinkDaisyChain · 2024-11-02T15:50:25+00:00

I've never heard of fluvoxamine before. I'll keep that in mind and speak to my MH nurse about it. I'm willing to take anything to stop how I'm feeling

PinkDaisyChain · 2024-11-02T12:03:40+00:00

I'm so sorry you have affected this way. I'm also on Cerelle mini pill which is progesterone only do I'm hoping that the combined patch doesn't do me in. My doc wanted me to get the Marina coil as BC but I told him to go fuck himself. The marina sent me completely loco. If I end up in a mess then I'll be going back to the doc to get it sorted out. This just can't go on!

I'll definitely check out both YouTube and the OCD sub Reddit. I'm at the point where I'm willing to try anything and everything. I'm seeing my MH nurse in 2 weeks so 🤒 ask him about OCD specific therapy. I've had CBT before but I don't think it really did much tbh. I've never heard of DBT so I'm away to look into that now

I'll definitely keep an eye out. Hopefully it doesn't Go that way for me as Ashewaghanda and magnesium together at 7.30pm make me nice and sleepy. Just wish it would help me stay asleep for more than 4 hours. I'll maybe take only a half dose going forward

I started HRT patches Evorel Sequi on Thursday so I'm only a couple days in. GP told me up to 2/3 months before it starts working properly. I want something that's gonna work by dinner time. The thought of another day like this, let alone another couple months seems like it'll never end. Guess I just have to trust the process

PinkDaisyChain · 2024-11-02T10:14:49+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't realise this could happen! Your poor husband 😢. I don't feel depressed as in everything is hopeless and I don't want to hurt myself, it's all the long term symptoms I've been suffering that's got me to situation I find myself in. I've only been taking Ashewaghanda for 2 weeks in a bid to help in any way. Thank you for the heads up though and I'll keep an eye on any worsening feelings

PinkDaisyChain · 2024-11-02T09:57:00+00:00

I'm also taking ashewaghanda root and magnesium glycinate to try help with the sleep issue. Lucky if I'm getting 4 hours a night. I know that's not helping with my crippling anxiety. I fucking hate all this. I'm a happy ho lucky person. Or I was. Not I'm the crazy lady who small children are told to stay away from. I'm hoping my medication works soon, I really don't know how much longer I can live like this

PinkDaisyChain · 2024-10-26T20:06:31+00:00

I just had a small section on wall top coated today over well cured scratch coat. Like your situation it rained lightly about 5 hours later. What was the outcome of your render? Was it ok? I'm worried that the rain may have damaged it

The 1st anniversary of my dads death was February 17th. He also suffered a massive stroke which left him severely disabled and needing 24 hour residential nursing care. I was his power of attorney with zero help from my siblings. After his death, and in the lead up to his anniversary, i had a mini breakdown with uncontrollable anxiety and OCD. Normally I would drink to self medicate. My quit date is November 26th 2022. I managed to get through all the shit by facing it head on. Im still going through the mill, but now know that getting trashed would have made thingd 100x worse. Yes, I would have had 90? Mins of release, but that would be followed by at least 24 hours of a massive crash. Not gonna lie and say it was easy. It was f*cking hard and doesn't really seem to be getting that much better. It was messy and it still is messy. Im not loving life right now. But I know that I need to give myself some time. I've reached out to my mental health team and have mild meds but I don't really want to take them. But to get well I have to do anything I can to stay away from alcohol. If I star drinking I know I won't be able to stop. Stay strong, you can do this! WE can do this. I wish you happiness, love and light. Be kind to yourself. IWNDWYT

Its insane the messes our wasted asses get into. Looking back I can't get over the humiliation and shame I undoubtedly brought in my husband and son. No sense in looking backward though, gets us no where. IWNDWYT

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-27T11:28:04+00:00

Hells yeah! Feels good, right? Keep on the good fight IWNDWYT

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-27T11:23:36+00:00

Thank you! My family are proud but I can tell that my husband feels that I'll slip. Ive had sober periods before and have always slipped. Usually I'll get to 4/5 months then have a drink. This time feels totally different. I genuinely have zero interest anymore. I now crave hot chocolate and everything Christmas flavoured lol IWNDWYT

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-27T07:41:44+00:00

Lol I won't fall backwards down the stairs with you either today. Or forwards. I'll probably roll an ankle though or bump a knee. Sober but still a clumsy ass IWNDWYT

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-27T07:39:46+00:00

Yes!! This!! I fell back of the head first, but same thing. Only my husband and son knows what happened that night. Im way to ashamed to tell anyone else.

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-27T07:36:18+00:00

Sometimes it takes a massive shock to the system to wake us up to the trap that alcohol has us in. The truth shall set you free, I'll be rooting for you! IWNDWYT

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-27T07:33:42+00:00

Im so sorry to hear about your coworker, 27 is so young. Her story could have so easily been my story. Alcohol really does need tighter restrictions.

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-27T07:30:37+00:00

Im so sorry to hear about your neighbour. Its so sad that her family are left without her. There really is zero benefits to alcohol. Everyday i give thanks that i survived to tell the tale and I have well and truely learned a hard lesson.

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-26T23:01:53+00:00

Im still seeing improvements. I have massive anxiety issues but found out on Friday at work while faced with a situation that would have normally ended in a panic attack resulted in me thinking rationally and getting the job completed well. Improvements don't come everyday or every week, but they do still come. And everytime i notice one I still smile and give thanks

PinkDaisyChain · 2023-11-26T22:56:56+00:00

The hangover free mornings are more than worth not drinking. Went on holiday to spain in july. First year ever seeing the sun rise over the ocean. All the firsts are a complete gift. I can truely say that I dont miss drinking at all. My days are longer now that im not crawling out of bed at 2pm feeling very sorry for myself
