The treat is being able to get through the day 

   little steps.  Don't burn up that good energy by doing 'too' much!

Hi all just an update...

Well my phased return of 6weeks went fine and I've been back to work now 8weeks, I've cut out a Wednesday though, four days is fine!!!

I've had quite a few blips but I'm able to function ...... Life's normal, and I've struggled to accept that one person I thought would have supported me hasn't,,,, but I'm going with the attitude " hey-Ho".... It's a long story but it hurts deep down

Anyway I'm away to Bulgaria in a months time,,,, so that'll be a boost!,,

Hugs Mandz xxxx

Enjoy Bulgaria!  Have you been B4?

Thanks for the up-date.  Sometimes those we feel will be supportive aren't …….. [my Mum for 1  ]

Glad your feeling better mandz 😊

Oh good to hear Mandz, you've come a long way in a relatively short space of time. 4 days at work is great but 3 would be even better so I'm working on that one.  Yes, sadly, the people we expect to be understanding or supportive often aren't and it's a big blow and very hurtful. You have something to look forward to with your trip to Bulgaria. I'm off to Spain for 10 days on Monday, filled with fear and apprehension but know it will be good for me so telling the anxiety to get lost and getting on with it. xx

Thank you all xxx

The advise I got on this forum and support had a huuuuge impact on my life.... I honestly wish I could thank you all individually

I've also made a lovely new friend thanks to it too, Ruthvae! We have supported each other with texts of encouragement and sounding off boards to each other! We don't know what we look like or surnames ..... We just text each other most days to see how t other is and to see things in another perspective if things are too much for us! I'd say it's been a great success, and I think she would agree!!! We are modern day pen pals I suppose 😊

Just jules I hope you have a lovely holiday----- one day at a time, don't look to much into things.....relax xxx

CLKD ..... My mum isn't very understanding of me either

WTD.... I hope things are improving for you xxxx

Thank you mandz I'm really good so far this month, having a bleed and no mood slump I have no idea what's made the change this month but I am  appreciating it while its here I had forgotten what it felt like to feel relatively ok 😊 hope it lasts

Great, Mandz! Have a safe trip !

Hello, yes I do agree Mandz, the support this site has brought both publically, and through being a 'penpal'. It has been such a help to fire off 'I'm going crazy, or am I' texts and get an empathetic response without putting more pressure on our loved ones.  Also it has been good to be able reciprocate.  I too am moving along nicely. Will update my post but in brief the 3 pumps of gel and 200mg of utogestan seem to be doing the trick along with some other life style changes.  Been back at work for a week on half days successfully... So fingers crossed this continues...

Thanks ladies

I will sign up for treatments..... I'm gonna enjoy my hol 

As I said before, every day that's good I regard it as a gift, I'm still under phyciatrist and have just started with psychology.....so I'm determined I'm going to enjoy life again 😊, it's heading in right direction methinks xx

[Mandz]

Hi all,

Just wanted to pop in and see how u are all doing?

Well, things have vastly improved in my life, I'm still not a 100 %... but then who is? I'm still under psychiatric team as I don't want to lose the support but I can push myself more!!! I have drops in blood pressure which can make me faint and I have to monitor my blood pressure but there's no tablets etc that can help just something I have to deal with, but it's nothing to stress about!!!!  If I feel sad I go online and play a game to empty my head of overthinking or paint , I've totally fell in love with doing art

Xxx

[Justjules]

Hi Mandz!!! so nice to see you back, even if you're just nipping on with an update  ..

So glad that things seemed to have evened out for you and sounds like you're on top of things and have some strategies to deal with it all and still have some help from your psychiatrist, which must be helpful.  I think when you know you have the backup, it makes things much more bearable.

Art is supposed to be wonderful for relaxation and distraction - unfortunately, my skills in Art only amount to the basic pin man   

Hope you're going to stick around - we've missed you!    xxx
