    I'm going, just a few quiet pints of the black stuff. Just went pharmacy to collect meds, nearly €20 and that's with medical card. One of them was not on the list. That's a few pints taken off the list :pac:

    No more drink after this as i want a true result on my bloods next week. I have been struggling with drink to combat depression and anxiety but in reality it's just making things worse.

    No harm in a pint or two, have a bit of a chat and some craic, have a pint for me too!

    Have to say I'm feeling good today too, lithium might finally be kicking in. Feeling more positive and looking towards the future. Sending positive vibes to everyone who might need them today

    I'm the same, everyone is saying to me to enjoy the break while I look for another job, but I prefer to have a plan each day, even if the plan is just go to work, come home, eat, sleep, repeat!

    Same, very much so.. I can't rely on making my own structure so work or appointments are things I need in my life

    This might sound like a stupid thing to say , but in the week or two before a full moon , I find my son's mood can dip massively . Extreme lows and worsening feelings of worthlessness .

    I hope things ease a little for you all soon .

    Yes very important to take them same time each day, doesn't help if you work nights I suppose you can't just say 'I'll take them at bed time'

    Night time is the worst. I woke about 8am. Then i had a nap from about 3 pm until 6pm. Ordered McDonalds as my Nephew is staying with me. Now wide awake and that's when my brain starts going into overdrive. I have Valium and Xanax but i really don't want to take them. It's just like going through a storm, but as the song goes, at the end of a storm there's a golden sky.

    I turned on my FB and seen my ex send messages and calls. In the space of just 2 hours i had 111 missed calls and texts. Brain into overdrive again. I know i should just let her go, everyone tells me that but it's hard. But deep inside i know they are right as she is not good enough for me.

    toast masters is good practice or else speak to your doc about potentially getting a beta blocker - they slow down physical symptoms associated with the type of anxiety people have when speaking in front of large groups, so that you don't have a racing heartbeat and so on, can be extremely effective and also non-drowsy with no real side effects so they are commonly used in such scenarios.
