Don't understand...?

  1. Feeling rather low right now and not sure why...?

    Is it because I had a rather nice break away last week and this week is that \"back to work feeling\" that is bound to make anyone less bouncy??

    Is it because I missed a couple of days of tablets.... doubt that?! Is it cause I had a fair bit of booze (even though I know I shouldn't) and I have the post drink blues?!

    Is it cause I am feeling very image concerned, what with summer coming and the gaining of the weight around.... my whole body, since I injured myself and have been unable to do the exercise I would have been doing??

    Is it feeling disappointed that 40mg a day now seems to have worn in and I am now back to feeling like I need another kick in the butt (but not more pills!)

    Is it just a glitch and I will be right as rain tomorrow?!?!

    I realise that these are questions only I can figure answers to, but if anyone has any words of wisdom or comfort that would be appreciated, as right now I am only sharing here as I am having trouble speaking to people....

    Cheers

  2. Dear Jojo,

    I have the blues too at the moment. For me I think it is a case of me messing around with my tablets too much. I was on 40mg and felt good so stupidly decided to come off them and am now on 20mg a day again, might build myself back up depending on how I go.

    Also the boozing doesn't help as I learnt the hard way!! I'm trying to stay off it for a while; difficult since I am a student but hey ho. Looking on the bright side - means I'll be consuming less calories!

    The only comfort I can really give you is what I'm sure you know already; just that some days you will feel brighter than others, and its a case of living those days to the full. When you're down, remember the good times. Think back to a happy day. Cheesy I know!

    I really hope you feel better,

    Betty

  3. Aye - I know what you are saying even though it may sound cheesy!! Thing is - its true! (and I do like a bit of cheese!)

    One day at a time, one foot in front of the other and all that jazz!

    Going to give the booze a miss for a bit and see if that helps.... I am quite lucky (depending on how you look at it?!?) that I work every second weekend. I am going to see if that improves things or whether that is just something else to get distracted by... ie it make no difference with or without..

    Later!
