I'm thinking about this situation and how I could help both of you :

- this person could write in French on her post and I translate

 

Or

 

- this person could send me in private mails the posts, and then I translate them To post them in public

 

Or

 

- you only ask me if things are not clear

 

Tell me what is best for you!

Hi Sass!

Thanks for asking!

Today

--》 it was a good day! Anxiety and dépression stayed at a low rate ( 3-4), with some Spikes at 5-6.

--》 for the first time since I arrived here I have been able To really accept the symptoms. I knew you were right, but it was hard To cope..and Today, for a quick moment, I have been able To tell myself "Oh this anxiety is ok, it's wonderful, it means my brain is healing"...and for the first time I truly believed it !

--》 I had a quick moment at noon while i felt almost normal...it was so wonderful...😍

--》 I have been able To go out and walk on the beach. 

--》 but, as you noticed, I haven't posted a lot here...I don't know how To explain it : Today was a good day, and yet reading others made me Feel anxious..thinking " see, you should not Feel Well, something terrible is going To happen". To cope I did'nt come here.

I must say I really admire you mods : being able To cope your symptoms while helping others...

 

Sass, I was so happy To read you felt normal Today!!!!!!! Such a wonderful news! 

 

Ps : I think I'm becoming a sudoku addict...

You did exactly the right thing.

As you feel better it can be good to limit your time here.

We will still be here when you need us.

I cannot believe it, I am still feeling good, Thank you.

I have just posted on @Vegalia but I do not want you to do this if you are feeling anxious.

If you are ok I would appreciate a translation to French.

I have told her to post on her own thread in French.

If you follow her you will be notified of her posting.

Again you must not do this to the detriment of your own health.

 

So glad you are feeling better.

It is easy to be overwhelmed by all the stories and information on SA. I think for me it is empathy with others, what other symptoms might I experience (a 'what if' negative thought), and I think my life is all about surviving my ADs. Getting off duloxetine (for now) is just part of my life.

 

What do you think?

@Sassenach : actually it's weird but translate doesn't make me Feel anxious. I'm so focused on finding the good words, I don't analyze  what you both say 😉 and it is Nice To Feel I can help.

I would like To do more, but as you said it might be good if I limit a bit my reading here. But I'm still ok To translate!

 

Oh Sass, I have such a big smile while thinking of you feeling good!!!!!!

 

@Guilietta : yes it's actually hard To believe how things have improved!!! This is so great!

 

I totally agree with you about the 'what if' everytime I read that someone is struggling, I imagine how bad Im gonna be...

And it desperates me to see new stories everyday : even if we manage one day To be drugsfree, there are still gonna be thousands of people who will be prescribed...how can we stop that? I can't bear the idea of so many people suffering right now..and still in the future.

 

BUT, for now sweet Guilietta, all we can and must do is take care of ourselves. If it means less time here, it's ok. Because I know that when we Will Feel good we Will be here, strong and ready To help !

Hello sweet Erell, just checking in. It sounds like you are having some improvement, I am not surprised, you are doing a great job of taking care of yourself. I expect you are going to continue to improve in a "windows and waves" pattern.

 

There are worse things to be addicted to than Sudoku! 🙂

 

Hugs, if you like them...

 

--Rhiannon

Started on Prozac and Xanax in 1992 for PTSD after an assault. One drug led to more, the usual story. Got sicker and sicker, but believed I needed the drugs for my "underlying disease". Long story...lost everything. Life savings, home, physical and mental health, relationships, friendships, ability to work, everything. Amitryptiline, Prozac, bupropion, buspirone, flurazepam, diazepam, alprazolam, Paxil, citalopram, lamotrigine, gabapentin...probably more I've forgotten. 

Started multidrug taper in Feb 2010.  Doing a very slow microtaper, down to low doses now and feeling SO much better, getting my old personality and my brain back! Able to work full time, have a full social life, and cope with stress better than ever. Not perfect, but much better. After 23 lost years. Big Pharma has a lot to answer for. And "medicine for profit" is just not a great idea.

We educate other people about these drugs so they don't take them  (or prescribe them). Drug  companies are unlikely to stop making them and doctors want to prescribe them.   😎

 

Good night, sweetie.

@Sassenach : yeah! New Word learned 'nightnight' ! :)

 

@Rhiannon : thank you, always happy To hear from you!

I think I've never been Well like this in a month..so grateful! This is thanks To you all : can't imagine all the new changes I would have done if I hadn't met you 🤤

I  still have issues, but yes it has definitely improved ! And sudoku is a sweet drug ;)

 

And yes, hugs seem sweet these days :)

 

 

@Guilietta : yes I hope we manage To educate people!

One thing makes me Feel really sad : I work with disabled people..their meds and their doses change all the time..now I understand  it is pure violence. And it desperates me...

 

But I know I can't be their advocate without feeling better. So I take care of myself for now...

Good morning to you too.

I am very pleased to see that you are cooking vegetables, the healthy option much better than ravioli.

Is it possible that you could spend some time with your Mum and dad this weekend preferably outside in the fresh air?

You seem more relaxed when away from home at the moment and interaction would be good if you feel you can cope with it.

Did you increase the magnesium or stay on the same dose?

You do a very important job caring for others.

It is important to remember though that not all drugs are evil.

Thank you for the translation.

She seems to have very complicated history.

I will have to make that at my light reading for today.

We have heavy rain here today so I will get wet taking the dog out.

You have a good one

Hi Sass!

 

1. They were ravioli with vegetables 😄 I only eat organic food,  and have a little garden! That's actually my goal for Today: take care of my vegetable garden ;)

 

2. My dad and my mum live an hour away from me. It would be Nice To see them, but I Feel so Guilty when I see them sad or anxious..I don't wanna ask them too much. 

I really do love my parents, they don't understand but they are trying their best. But even if I try To explain them it Will be slow, I know it is difficult for them how slow it can be...

I don't Feel able To drive an hour To get To see them.

However, a friend is coming Saturday and we are going To take a walk together.

Sometimes I Feel I need relations, and sometimes I fear it..

And sometimes I Feel I'm doing better outside, sometimes I really need the security of m'y flat. Being away from home, like really away, is hard...

 

3.this morning I increased a tiny tiny bit magnésium;)

 

4. I know that all drugs are not evil, but I was talking about AD and benzos. They all have some,  and their doses are changed all time 🤤 

 

5. Weather here changes all time ! Yesterday,  I went To the beach under the sun...And suddenly i was wet under the rain! I really like it, it helps me remember that nothing lasts forever...as waves ;)

No rain this morning, I think we might see the sun soon!

 

Thank you Sass for your présence!

Hello Erell,

 

I hope your morning anxiety and despair have passed. Some mornings this is the way it is and goes away. Many mornings are bright and cheery (as I generally am!).

Your parents I think love you very much, from what you have said above.  It has taken months for information to seek in bit by bit even though I can't say it is fully understood or appreciated. I try not to dwell on it and when feeling really bad I try to keep to myself when I can. I feel guilty too because I don't want them to feel sad.  That being said - when you love someone and they are sick or having trouble in their lives- you may also be sad.

You could call them, let them you know are feeling better, that you love them if you are feeling up to it. :)

Brilliant! You are so wise and learn well from your environment. It is a gift. :) This is a good way to look at change - and that unpleasant things don't last forever. That is positive thinking.

This is part of healing when we have anxiety.

 

Being with others may feel safe - or we may feel threatened (because we don't have control?).

 

I find that when someting is in the future (i.e., going to something whenit is a few days away) I am excited. Somtimes though, on the  day of the event - I may think of reasons to change my mind.   😕  However for me it helps that if I can get myself ready to go and get out the door and I am 'happy' once I am there.

 

Did you decide about post-poning your work from Monday?

 

Have a pleasant day

Hi Guilietta 

 

Ufortunately I have nothing pleasant To say Today. I'm having a really tough day. Anxiety is low but I have violent depression feelings, all day with no relief. 

I thought these kind of feelings would be easier To cope but actually they are not.

I Feel High melancholia, everything desperate me, can't imagine it Will improve. All is sadness.

 

 

Even if my mind knows that this a waves and Windows pattern, I can't Feel it and Feel deeply hopeless. I'm struggling and try To believe it Will pass.

 

I went To the beach, but it did'nt give me any relief. 

 

The only positive thing is I can cry while I couldn't the other days.

I can't call my parents while feeling like this, it would be too scary for them.

 

I avoided the work subject all this week..and still am. As i was feeling better, I tried To convince myself i would be able To go next monday, and that it would distract me from symptoms.

Now I Feel like an idiot.

 

 

I'm so sorry Guilietta,  you have so much To deal with already, and I can't tell you positive things. Just know I really try m'y best. 

 

Hugs,  take care or yourself!

Will be back later, but

This means your symptoms are changing.

Seems unfair crying is an improvement, but it is.

You are having a wave that will roll to the shore and die, but unlike the real ones these don't go on forever.

You are getting better and will continue to do so.

Don't give these often but today you deserve one🤗

Thank you Sass :)

 

Actually crying is ok : it is a relief To cry when I need !

What is really hard To cope is the violency of despair and dépression.

 

What does it mean when symptoms change like this ?

If they were not changing you would be stuck in withdrawal forever, that is not going to happen.

I wish I could tell you how long but as yet SA have not given me a crystal ball.

All I know is you have made a great start even though it does not feel like that at present

It is going to keep changing slowly for the better, believe, believe.

Bet you do not remember the Monkees song, I'm a Believer, before you were born👶

Well Sass, I don't know if my parents heard you...they just have sent me a text To tell they are coming tomorrow. I'm glad and also very anxious : as they don't understand the 'slow part' of this, I'm afraid they Will be surprised...and also hoping badly i'll Feel better tomorrow...

 

Yes I know you can't tell me how long it Will last. I might have been too confident  : as I was having changes throughough the day during the last days, I thought it Will be the same. But no relief in sadness Today. Just an entire rough day. Visibly I'm still learning the process...

 

I don't know this song, I'm gonna listen To it :)

Tonight is important then.

Start to wind down now, play the Monkees if you can find it.

Definitely a hot bath night, candles, incense, warm towels. Sorry getting carried away here:blush:

Where was I?

Phone off, yoga (if you can ), Sudoku, Lullaby.

Relax and sleep.

Hello Erell, just stopping by to say hi. I know you are having ups and downs, that is completely normal at this stage of things. You are healing and one day this will all be just a memory. Meanwhile you're doing great, even though it doesn't feel like that a lot of the time right now!

 

Hugs to you!

Started on Prozac and Xanax in 1992 for PTSD after an assault. One drug led to more, the usual story. Got sicker and sicker, but believed I needed the drugs for my "underlying disease". Long story...lost everything. Life savings, home, physical and mental health, relationships, friendships, ability to work, everything. Amitryptiline, Prozac, bupropion, buspirone, flurazepam, diazepam, alprazolam, Paxil, citalopram, lamotrigine, gabapentin...probably more I've forgotten. 

Started multidrug taper in Feb 2010.  Doing a very slow microtaper, down to low doses now and feeling SO much better, getting my old personality and my brain back! Able to work full time, have a full social life, and cope with stress better than ever. Not perfect, but much better. After 23 lost years. Big Pharma has a lot to answer for. And "medicine for profit" is just not a great idea.
