Weekly check in.

Morning All


Time for the weekly check in how has your week been?

Check in if you have the time we like to hear how you are all doing.

I'm still having back problems but making really good progress with my anxiety.

Hibee

Just got back from the first time going out in a long time without carrying my diazepam with me. It admittedly wasn't for very long (went to pick up some takeout) but it's something I had to do eventually.

Hello guys.

I've been on Zoloft (50 mg) for six days now and on my fifth day, I felt the difference.. I know it takes 4-8 weeks until it fully kicks in but on my fifth day, I woke up smelling something nice from my childhood days and didn't notice any side effects such as yawning and etc.

Overall, I feel great and I hope my condition improves more and more :)

Hi HT

Sorry to hear you are not in a good place I think e-mailing your shrink is a good idea let us know how you get on we are here for you mate.

HT, hang in there. I'm thinking of you, and hoping you find that paddle.

I survived a very stressful trip out of town. Well, still recovering, actually. I didn't sleep more than a few hours the entire three days, so last night I crashed so hard that my husband just left me on the couch.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and made my way to bed. Slept in an awkward position, so my neck and lower back are really hurting. Didn't hear hubs alarm this morning, and didn't wake up until he told me he was leaving for work.

I expect I will take a couple of naps today, because I still feel so tired.

Great news, Night. :)

Hanging in there although I'm still dealing with another bout of anxiety that returned a couple of weeks ago. I've had very tense chest and back muscles and resisted the urge to go to the ER yesterday for fear I was having a heart attack. I already had tests run and doc says heart is fine. Just my GERD and anxiety making me crazy. I woke up breathing this morning so it's a new day and all good!

Hi Everyone, hope everyone is having an anxiety free week!

Well I woke up Tuesday morning with a head cold. It seems like I just can win for nothing this month, I just got over the nausea and vomiting spell a week ago and now I'm sick with a head cold. Coughing like mad, I can tell my lungs are filled with gunk so I will probably call my dr today to see if I can get in to make sure it isn't bronchitis or phenomena.

Other then that I haven't done much this week, went to therapy and group on Monday, it went well. I just love my therapist. The majority of my time this week I have spent coloring, lol. I'm so addicted to coloring it isn't funny, but the results are I have had very little anxiety this week, so I'll take that as a good thing.

Not doing well at all. But I am still trying my best to get better. Trying to eat well most of all because what you eat is what you become.

Hi All

I am making loads of progress with my GAD, OCD, Social Anxiety and Depression through going to my Schema therapy which is great I still have a long way to go but really feel I am starting to get back on top of things. This last year has been one of the most difficult for me but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and keep taking small steps every day and try and live in the moment the best I can.

On the downside my back pain has been bad so I have doubled up on my painkillers not much can be done as it is a chronic pain condition that I have but i'm staying positive.
