Well Mags I didn't go out for the wine, my husband finished work early & was passing the shop so it seemed silly not to get it for me so don't put yourself down, I may be doing well indoors but not outdoors.  Don't forget your hair cut etc.   I have the doggy people coming tonight so feeling a bit apprehensive but  hopefully it will be fine once they get here; its work & pleasure. If it was just work they would be on their way within an hour but I guess I can always say I have had enough now, please leave!!!  
I am off to plug myself in as was up at 2am & 5am with Mummy dog. Luckily Mr Dog (kitten) can't say the C or K word Old Timmy knows what one is, is being adorable & has been playing with the pups & although he is 5 weeks older he is about the same size so they are equal just need to watch his teeth & claws. He likes puppy tails but I have told him he has a tail & soon he will be on the receiving end as the pups are still at toddling stage. Wish you could see them it would make you feel happy. I think animals are good for the soul even watching a squirrel makes me go all gooey.
Let me know later what you have done today. I still have those cards to do unlike you. Did you draw one for your Grandson? Just think hardly anytime now & all those Christmas ads will be over & it will be holiday ads galore then we can settle down to 2014. It is going to be a better year & I have said I will run naked down our lane if I haven't accomplished certain things by New Years Eve so best get a move on before I am in handcuffs xxxxxx

Hi Bev, never mind about the wine, I bet you would have gone to get it if your hubby hadn't been going past the shop. I am confident that you will sail through tonight and  enjoy it, is your hubby going to be there too?   As you said you can always tell them you don't feel well, but I don't think you will need to.
The Kitten and   and pups all sound so cute, would love to see some pics of them
I haven't done much today so  feel like  I have gone backwards,  I have been so tearful and really anxious, I was feeling low to begin with then my brother rang to ask if I had changed my mind about going for the Christmas meaL he is organizing and I had to say I wouldn't be going, so that sent me spiralling downwards      
I haven't  felt like doing my Grandson a card yet so feel  useless about that too .    I  might just join you in that naked run down the lane if I feel better, so that will be  both of us in handcuffs
Hoping, all goes well  tonight  and  just think l how good you will feel when you have done it

Why did your brother ring, did he think it would help to have to make a decision this far ahead 

(Anyone see Susan Boyle on TV last night?)

Little steps 

[bev567901]

Mags your brother clearly does not understand you said no so already enough said.  Its the sertraline not you making you go backwards. You will soon be going forward again, its a big jump.
You where right I was fine tonight, had a wobble took some diazepam & decided it could just be doggy stuff & extra stuff could wait but it was great. She brought her husband too so it was two dog ladies & him so we couldn't really do our normal bit of girl talk with him around though Need to remember that feeling pre them arriving & know in the future it will be ok.
Lets see what tomorrow brings, hopefuly no naked running . I have the same people coming again, a trip to the vet & Ella is going to see a panto with the Brownie troop with some man from Eastenders in Adam someone. Must do cards too. Must progress further in all areas. Must get some sleep, failed to plug myself in earlier.  xx

 Hi CLKD-  My brother doesn't really understand and  was wanting to know about numbers for booking the table         I didn't  get chance to see the Susan Boyle prog,  was it good?

[mags]

Hi Bev,  well done, I knew you would be allright   and even better, you enjoyed it you are doing really well ;)xx

I haven't watched it yet. Hopefully getting a diagnosis will help her cope with everything much better.

There is no way I would have been able to have gone out for a meal when I felt unwell Mags.  I couldn't have even gone out for a pint of milk!  I wouldn't worry about it, just do what you want to do.

[CLKD]

No way could I have gone out when depressed and anxious.  Even on Wed. this week I dropped out of a get together, too many things happening

Thanks littleminnie and CLKD,  it's such a comfort to know it isn't just me    But at the same time it's not nice that you have both suffered/ are suffering.   I  only go out for Dr's appts and my cbt, and my hubby has to take me.   I have had the odd day of feeling a bit brighter and went to get my hair cut and did a bit of Christmas shopping, but that's a while ago now      I am just trying to  go with it, but then feel that everything is hopeless and I will never be able to do anything without feeling so anxious and low.   I  feel  no excitement about Christmas  or anything really,  so of course that makes me feel worse.    I pray that things will improve soon, for all of us who are suffering and sorry to be such a moanxx

Hello mags.
I just wanted to say there is no need to apologise and you are perfectly entitled to moan as much as you want! The great thing about this site is that it is full of real women supporting and helping each other at a time of huge change and difficulty, I don't think anyone is enjoying this journey, we are just getting along as best we can.

I know how you feel with the anxiety, there are so many situations I now avoid because I feel on edge and fear that I can't cope. The merest thought of attending a social situation sends me into a panic.

Like you I do what I can and look forward to the day when this whole menopause rubbish is over. Where there's life, there's hope.   

Wishing you well and take care.
K.

Hi Kathleen and thanks for your kind reply, am sorry that you are feeling anxious, it's awful when we have to avoid things that we wouldn't have given a second thought to pre menopause.
I know a lot of us on here are suffering and getting along as best as possible,   and  certainly not enjoying it.   None of my circle of friends have suffered with anxiety/depression with meno, they just seemed to get hot flushes, so  by coming on this forum, I know I am not a freak
Hoping you will get some relief soon and a  :bighug:xx
