Post by: LW44 on October 31, 2015, 01:22:12 PM

Hi ladies ,

bit more reassurance needed again... had a bit of a blip after weeks of feeling great , well good ,  had period two wks ago... and had a bit of a "doom and hot flush" then came on next day. - mood plummeted... and ive not been able to so far shake it off... its anxiety... for the last three mornings had in morning... not had for a few months.. :-/ panic that "its" back and iwont be able to go to work. (which i love) or shopping or anthing i enjoy !  i want it to disappear now !! like we all do... any chance it will ???  thank you :-)

Depends on what you are taking.   beta blockas can help as can Valium 'as necessary'

Do you have a good result with the Seratline? and would your GP advise a Valium-type med.?

Also make sure that your body isn't hungry as that can cause anxiety surges!

yes sertraline good for me.. took on and off for last ten years after pnd.. not as this point i dont think... although once on even keel i plan to have more cbt to help with possible future episodes as worked for me a few years ago...  i make sure i am eating :-) read your posts regarding that and think its true !   in fact im constantly hungry at the moment..

I haven't recovered from changing the clocks last week, my gut is still out of sync  ::)

Have you tried slow release foods, i.e. bananas, dried fruits and nuts …….. little and often?  ( I can hear Himself saying "take your own advice!"  ::) )

I am worse in the mornings, too many commitments to face  :-\ - by mid-afternoon I'm improving, by evening I'm the real 'me' ………..
