Hi dottiebluebell
Welcome to Beyond Blue and thanx heaps for providing your post.
I agree with all that John has said in his response to you – that perhaps it might be time for a review of your medication; especially if you’ve been on it for a number of years now.
May I also pose a suggestion to you with regard to all the ‘stuff’ in your head. I find when I get to this level – I either get a piece of paper and pen, and let fly, with writing stuff down that’s in my head OR I jump on the computer, open up a word document and commence in dot point format, all the things that are troubling you.
List them down – in no fancy order and you can jump all over the place (not literally, as it’s far too difficult to type whilst doing that), but jump from one thing to another – then go away for a while; and come back to it and add things.
You may find common themes or issues in amongst it all – or they could all be their own separate entity or issue. And this is for you and you alone, unless you say have a counselling session where you’d like to get a professional to help you explore some of these things. But again, that’s totally up to you.
One last thing – are you able to recall those couple of ‘great days’ you had – in that, can you remember what was happening, what you were doing, as to why they stood out? Is it possible to try and replicate things from those days – because that might give you something to look forward too. Just aiming for small goals here at this stage.
I do hope we can hear from you again.
Neil
