I'm drinking now which makes me think more. I'm also thinking of going to a&e in the morning. I can't put up with this much longer.

Have had this feeling of anxiety at the pit of my stomach for a few days now, stopping me from eating. Can’t see any reason for me to feel anxious, so not sure where this is coming from. Never a good sign when I’m unable to eat. Just wish this feeling would go away.

Please, if you cannot eat, drink milk or a smoothie. if you don;t your blood sugar will nosedive and you will feel even worse. Trust me! Been down that road. Your body needs fuel to support your mind and emotions. I rarely feel hungry or like eating but I make sure I do ..

Feeling crap after a rough night, I only slept about 3 hours.
That worsens the pain and the fatigue, so today my depression/anxiety is much worse. That means I will sleep badly tonight again...

Despite of taking 10mg of valium I could not stop ruminating about my future :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Ok so my Sister called to my home at 9am. Gave her my phone and she deleted my ex.
Then the most amazing thing happened.
My Nephew who is 3 and a half and has Autism took my hand to walk to see my dogs and he spoke, and repeated it.

This is the first time he has really spoke. Seeing that has given me hope. And deleting my ex will help too.

Will go the park later with my dogs for a walk.

And to top things off my Mother who is 75 was singing something inside so strong.

Family is good.

Very true. I find it hard to eat but will try later.

The future is not something to dwell on when you are not in a positive frame of mind. I was always a forward planner but now have to just concentrate on getting through one day and deal with the next day when it happens. Hope you find some peace of mind today.

Bohs, reading that made my day. Hang onto that moment going forward.

I really think blocking the ex was a positive thing to do. You might surprise yourself with much easier it is to go forward without a dead weight dragging you back.

I'm so lonely at home all day.

Meeting psychiatric nurse later, hate counting down the time to any appointment

I had my therapy this morning just back home now . Was a really tough session I'm just wreaked now

It worries me when folk do not replenish their bodies. I have crazy blood sugar levels with the ME and as soon as they dip, the mood darkens and I reach for chocolate. Body and mind so closely connected

Well, to me, the tougher the session is, the better. Sometimes I feel psychologists/psychiatrists don't want to dig too deep

Yeah got through loads today in my session it was very tough and upsetting feel drained from it but it was a much needed release

petes · 14-05-2019 7:51pm

What's worse is when you don't actually have an issue, just crippled with anxiety!

Have seen an addiction counselor for a while, was okay but they keep trying to dig when there is nothing to dig into if you get what I mean.

Went to a guy who just said 'just say what's in your mind', waste of time.

Have a psychiatrist app later this month.

Why the hell is the spelling of them so hard

TG1 · 14-05-2019 7:59pm

Pete's I'm in a similar boat. I found a very practical psychologist who doesn't look for issues, but instead tries to push me into challenging my own anxieties. Sets me small easy targets to meet around things that trigger me, pushes me to do things for me instead of always doing things for others, that sort of thing.

We rarely discuss my relationship with my mother or my deep seated emotional issues, we just discuss my life as it is, how it makes me feel and how I can try and do practical things to make me feel better. I hit the jackpot with her, but it's worth shopping round for a good health professional!

My physiologist is great he has done wonders for my PTSD god I was in a really bad place with it and the cbt really helped me . I'm just left now with the depression/anxiety part of it . Anyone here done any work on negative core beliefs ??

I hope so because she was dragging me back. Should have done it a long time ago. I used to be a happy person. Get up go work but now i am out of work and drinking much and thinking much.

What is hurting me is that she had 3 kids from previous relationship and i took care of them. Tried to give her and them a better life then she just stabs me in the back.

And she is nearly 10,000 miles away from me. I brought her and her family everywhere and paid everything.

Tried many times to get her to understand Irish culture but she had no interest.

She is poor and has a hard life but i just cannot understand why she had the chance of a good life then messes it up.

Her loss.

BohsCeltic · 15-05-2019 4:04am

Awake again now. At least i ate today. Just a salad and a packet of hula hoops. Ha Ha.

Head still in overdrive though.

Don't think i will sleep for long now.

lbc2019 · 15-05-2019 8:17am

Back to work again today. Hope it goes better

Feeling really low. Last night i did for the first time in my life think about ending it all. It was only a thought though.

I could never do it. My youngest Nephew is here with me now and gives me hope because he just smiles at me.

I was gonna do it last Friday but I dunno I just didn't... the Manic Street Preachers stopped me I guess as they were here Sunday and seeing them as on my bucket list of things, anyways it's a scary road to go down. Try nip that early before you end up like me. You do not want suicide always on your mind.

Have no other choice, seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow so hopefully she'll write me a letter

So so mad

Lads sorry to hear that Irish Life have refused the claims.

Be sure to be aware of their appeal timelines.
Also as part of their appeal process Irish Life are supposed to forward you the medical rationale for their decision.

Be sure to get it, base your appeal solely on that info.
Have your treating doc or specialist write you a report refuting the IL stance and submit it.
Try not to get it swept up in an appeal to emotion or motive in your appeal.

As horrible as it sounds, Irish Life are relying on specific "facts" in their refusal to allow your claims.
You need to refute those facts as they lay them out in their rationale and avoid making it a personal battle.

It really isn't personal, the claim for Irish Life is a box ticking exercise, it does not matter to them how much it will affect the claimant.
Only that the claimant meets the criteria laid out in their policy for payment on disablement.
