Weekly Check In

Hi Folks


How has your week been? Check in if you have the time.

I have had a great couple of days I went up to see my brother and we went skiing which was brilliant and just what I needed after a couple of very stressful months. It's got me motivated to get fit again so I am going to be increasing my exercise over the next couple of weeks I am aiming for 10,000 steps a day and hopefully will lose a bit of weight as I have put a lot on since I upped my Mirtazapine (Remeron to 45mg) and developed man boobs lol which is not a good look.

Anyway I hope you have all had a good week and wish you a good week to come keep up the fight never give up and live in the moment.

Hey Hibee, if you hit 10k steps per day consistently and do some pushups every few days, those will definitely turn into pecs! :D

Week was pretty good here; had some anxiety a few days earlier in the week, but towards the end it was a lot better. Still have morning anxiety / depersonalization, but it's so much better than a month ago when I stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine.

Also, got some hot projects at work completed so I feel more relaxed now, funny how much better one can feel with a pressure point or two taken away.

We're having really nice weather down here in Texas so plan on spending some mindful time outdoors this week and take in the budding trees, chirping birds and pretty flowers.

since stopping zoloft i lost my man boobs. i am doing ok on stjons wort 3rd week.

yes its a tough call if your med is working well. zoloft worked so well i put up with the weight gain. i am back to my pre zoloft weight. lost aprox 30 lbs. hibee-how do you like prozac? it worked well for me but was too strong. i had trouble driving so i stopped taking it. 20 mg was as large a dose as i could tolerate .

been hectic. bro to be going to srs soon. finally got him the right treatment and meds; that's what feisty turtles do, and he much better. mental health tribunal has agreed with families wishes, but are being held up by one incompetent individual. me, gambling deed signed for my local venue yesterday, had anxiety and vomiting all night, but once I signed I felt better. they took a nice photo. I was brave and took the max option of 2 years. see my gambling counsellor in 2 weeks. seen eye specialist yesterday, pressure up in bad eye, the occipital neuralgia doc feels is being compounded and causal of my arthritis and brick like muscles. he said heat and massage. might loosen up a problematic nerve he states. gave back my bc to my sis, as I am saving up to see a few dear people o/s. just got to get the a few medical things sorted. I have seen the bank, got a new bc that I lost, am setting up internet banking. well, just thought i'd update the turbo forum a little, thx guys.

Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check in. I have been having a rough couple of weeks. Very sick physically but my doc won't do anything about it because she says it's just anxiety. I don't completely disagree with her, but I do feel as though something is off. Stiff/sore neck, tight throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. The whole shebang! I've lost so much weight, and I can hardly eat. Also a low grade fever on and off. But sure, it's probably just my anxiety. I see my doc on Wednesday, she is switching me from Ativan to Klonopin, and from Ambien to Trazedone. My P doc also suggested I start Gabapentin for my anxiety. That seems promising but knowing my past reaction to medication, I am a little reluctant. All I know is, I can't keep feeling like this. I am scared and sad, and very discouraged. I have a beautiful little girl that needs me. I just want to feel better :(

Good going I hope things go well for you.
