Horsie,
         totally know what you mean

[mac]

After having a good day yesterday not such a good day today.  Maybe i slept for to long so didn't eat at the same time this morning.  Also trying to reduce the propanalol but maybe its to soon to do that.  Just worried that I'm not going to make it home next week

Under lying anxiety.

Hi Mac
I had a better day yesterday as well and thought I had turned a corner but was wishfull thinking. Didn't sleep at all last night and have bad meno symptoms today with crying episodes as well. Wish this damned HRT patch would work quicker! I have become so impatient probably because I have struggled for months and can't see an end to it all.
I am going to try and lie down this afternoon for a nap (miracles sometimes do happen)
Hope you feel better as the day goes on.

Hi Mac & AnneB. I'm very sorry that you two are not having such a good day today after feeling a bit better - it seems relentless doesn't it? I'm not brilliant myself at the moment but a lot of it I think is due to a stressful situation at home 
I'm still on my no appetite thing and am now convinced that it makes things a lot worse but seem unable to help myself at the moment.
I really hope that today and the coming days improve for you both and that you are able to make your trip home Mac - I have my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks ladies

Hope your day improves as well.  Just wish this would get better for all of us.

Horsie sorry you aren't feeling so good, stress def makes me feel worse so if you have stressful situations at home it will makes things worse and so agree on eating, it really does make a difference. Is there anything you can eat that you fancy. I remember when I felt so sick and I knew I had to eat, I just got some oatcakes and nibbled on them with a glass of water. I hope you feel better soon.
AnneB and mac I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Hormones are weird I woke up so angry and tense this morning but have got a bit better as day has gone on. Still haven't got my beta blockers, valerian and B vits yet, it's Sunday tomorrow and all pharmacies are closed so we shall see how we get on. Still got my hrt, magnesium and camomile tea.
mac you don't know how you will feel next week, you might be pleasantly  surprised.
Hormones seem to change all the time

Paisley, Horsie & Mac
Feel a wee bit better this evening despite the furnace inside my body.
Managed to eat some fish and potato crisps. I know not a normal combo but that's what I fancied.
Am trying magnesium supps and tart cherry capsules in a bid to aid sleep - might take some time to take effect. Also on Bach rescue remedy for anxiety. Funny how we try anything in a bid for relief.
I do the same as you Paisley and have an oatcake with water or ginger and lemon tea when feeling nauseous.
My brother phoned this afternoon and said he would pop in and see me since he was in my area on business. Haven't seen him in 2 months and for some reason I got really panicky about his visit. I seem to get anxious about any visitors these days which is not like me as I am usually quite sociable.
Hormones !!!
Anyway must stop rambling

Glad you feel a little bit better. I take magnesium in morn and evening. I think when you feel sick you should eat what you fancy no matter what it is. Have you tried camomile tea? When we feel like this it is easy to feel panicky when someone comes cos we think how can we hold it together in front of someone and it is more pressure put on yourself. I feel the same especially when I have to go somewhere, I think how will I cope but we normally do.
On another thread I mentioned that I have been having aches so have taken a paracetamal  a fw nights and when I have I have had a better sleep.

[Anne B]

Paisley
I will try camomille tea and I also take 2 paracetamol at night.
If I feel ok tomorrow I may attempt to go to local shopping centre to see if I can cope with crowds. It's only 5 mins from house so can make a quick escape if necessary!
My daughter and I are watching Titanic - got a feeling it's not going to end well.

Hi

Began to feel better as the day went on.  I think some of my symptoms are the side effects of the citalopram but still better than this time last week   I hope your right Paisley that next week will be better and I can make it home.  Mum is being discharged from hospital in about 2 weeks and i need to sort out the house.
Anne B hope you get some sleep tonight and enjoy the shopping trip tomorrow.
Horsie hope your home situation resolves soon as you have enough to deal with the hormones.

Hi,
   How is everyone today?
Anne B did you sleep any better? Hope you enjoyed the shopping center.
mac glad you feel a bit better and you are prob right that you are having side effects from AD but once they are in your system you will feel lots better.
Horsie hope you are a bit better today
I had not bad evening but woke up this morning and felt really angry and a bit weepy. I don't know if I was stressed cos my son was going to a birthday party and unfortunately here all the parents stay which I wasn't looking forward to as I have to talk to people. Got through the party but still feel so angry and hot, it is 36 degrees today and I feel so drained, too hot to sit in even. My moods feel so unstable. Could just nod off now

[Anne B]

Paisley
Shopping trip not a success. Rambled on about it on your other thread about your HRT.
Glad you got through the party.
Don't know how you cope.
I can barely take care of myself these days without the extra pressure of looking after children.
My child is 24yrs and I feel as if I am ruining her life at the moment with all my hormonal upheaval.

Anne B

[mac]

Paisley well done for surviving the party and in that heat. Hope you can have a restful evening.  I'm feeling a bit more positive just impatient to feel like the old me   Think it will take a while.
Anne B just read your other post, sorry to hear about your shopping trip but you've just increased the HRT so it could take a while for it to kick in, then you will feel so much better.

Just replied to your post on another thread.
As you know I have 23 year old daughter, 20 year old son and 4 year old son. My daughter is in U.K and I miss her so much. I am sure your daughter doesn't think you are ruining her life, she is prob just worried about you and wants to see you well for you. I found my daughter such a help and it has given her an understanding of what other people have to go through. I have broken down in front of her many a time and I can remember her looking after her little brother for the whole weekend about 1 year ago when hubby was away and I really could not cope.
I am sure she only wants to help you.

[Anne B]

Thanks Mac
I know I am in meltdown at the moment. Getting fedup with myself moaning all the time and I know there are a lot of women out there with their own problems to deal with. Feel I have become such a self-centred person over the last few months and I know the real me is still there waiting to resurface.
My family are suffering through this as well and sometimes I lose sight of that.
I hope you continue to improve. It just seems like such a neverending journey doesn't it?
Wonder if I will look back on this and laugh. I hope so because need to regain my sense of humour.
