I feel really energized today - and frightened too -not sure how that works.
Have been dashing around like a mad thing,
Getting excited too cos I am going to meet my two great-nephews tomorrow.
One minute i am really excited, the next I am worried that i am going to do something stupid.
PLEASE can someone tell me what is going on! My hubby is saying that I am much better, and says the meds are working really well - I even smiled at him this morning.
But deep underneath I am worrie that I am going to hurt myself badly an I think I am looking forward to it.
WHAT CAN I DO?
WHY am I thinking like this - I never have before....

Sounds like your meds might need to be adjusted.

Hi guys!

Quick update - spent ages in with the doc, who thinks the changed meds were not helping me.
My meds have been changed yet again speaking with the doc has helped a lot - somethines reading and thinking on your own does NOT help.
Am now very very tired.. and have butterflies all the time.
Have lots of notes for what I need to take and what I need to do - cant face work at present but doc says not to worry, and to re-visit as required.
Now on a waiting brief.
Wish me luck guys and thanks for replying.

Hi guys.
Still feeling very low and away from it all - but no nasty thoughts or turns. too early to expect too much. Hoping to get back to work in a week - embarassing that this is the first time I have actually missed work because of my D!
Called the Doc yesterday as I was feeling anxious spoke for a long time, he has said that I should get a T appt through very soon.
Strange - it does seem to raise ones spirits a bit by writing here - a sort of free space where I can say how I feel without fear of a bad reaction.

Love to all yous out there.

Trying to deal with an untimely exit from your comfort zone is very confusing. Meet your two great-nephews and fell the love that can come from this new connection. I used to try to understand how I could think the things I thought sometimes. It only made things worse for me. Give yourself time and try to prioritize your concerns and give yourself a limit on the time you spend on trying to figure it all out; it makes things worse than they really are. I have heard this referred to as 'awfulizing.' Try not to take your confusion as a sign of weakness and SEIZE THE DAY.

I was like that when I first started taking my meds for dysthymia. I was so scared I was going to embarrass myself at work b/c I felt so good, I was acting all goofy. After a little while, I leveled off. However, I brought it up to my doctor. His reaction was one of expectation - he expected this to happen, but it's still a good idea to just give the doctor a call.

Hi
Its me again! thanks for all your support.
Have to report that the new meds seem to be working - feeling tired and a bit blank. But I can function, I dont feel like curling up away from the world so much.... thanks Doc!
Its really weird how the different meds have different effects - well it is for the uninitiated like me.
I did have the day out with my great nephews.. i wasnt truely with it, and it felt a bit like I was working through cotton wool. But Nephew and Neice were pleased and a good day out was had by all. Was sent some photos the other day so I can remember it.
Have appt with the doc tomorrow morning then am going to try work to go to work - its will be a short week so I should be able to cope.
i am feeling quite positive about it despite feeling down a bit today - put is down to nerves and thinking too much..
