Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hi Kim, that is wonderful news and you will get well - and if you feel down or disheartened, you will find lots of ongoing support here - just as I have done. Sheila deserves a medal for her work and for starting this group which has helped so many of us to get better. Gill re: enlightened ..

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 HIP HIP HOORAY - three CHEERS for Kim. This is a wonderful attitude to have Kim and your determination comes shining through. I hope you have the best year ever starting 1st January 2008 Luv - Sheila That is how I feel about all the good advice on this website. Over the last few days I have felt a gradual lifting of the vice of depression and lonliness that I have felt in my 'mental illness'. The loss of confidence in myself as a midwife, mother and wife. The gradual acceptance that I am doomed to a life on antidepressants and feeling of hypochondria every time I attend my GP surgery in some vein attempt to make myself feel better, to stop the world and get back on. The other day while I was asking the doctors receptionist for my thyroid results...she had printed off my 'normal' liver function ones, which I have to say were borderline high normal for protein.....so back to the docs...I heard a voice say "Kim you aren't causing trouble are you?" a couple of people behind me was my husbands neice...she then went on to say "must be your mental problems ha ha". Yeah right I thought, my two sister in laws are like the Ugly sisters to my Cinderella ha ha. But in a nutshell thats how I feel, people making judgments and it is so much easier to treat someone with antidepressants and hope they will go off and live semi comatosed for the rest of their days. NOT ME ANY MORE! you guys have given me the determination to sort this out once and for all.I wish you all a Happy New Year with health, wealth and happiness.Kim No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free Edition.

She has no business saying such a thing, and certainly not in public. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thank you all for your unwaivering support but not a good day today...New Years Eve, sat in my chair all day! I suppose getting over a throat infection and cold could possibly explain some of my lethargy. Last night felt so enthused but today back to my normal 'failure' mentality. Dont worry though I am still determined to get sorted just feel overweight and so without energy. So not wishing to lose my spark I will say Happy New Year.

Last night felt so enthused but today back to my > normal 'failure' mentality. Oh, Kim. That's how it is sometimes, isn't it? Up and down, the nature of the beast. Never mind, it's like that saying: you only fail if you don't get up and try again and it sounds as though you have every intention of doing just that, so that failure mentality is on the way out! You've got into the habit of thinking that way for such a long time that it'll take a little time to reverse it. So don't be too hard on yourself. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi Kim, Hope you feel better soon. I went down with a cold on Christmas day ( at least I'd done the cooking first!)and spent the next few days in bed. I go up NYE and went to the pub to greet the year in with friends, but I'm still sniffly there are some horrible bugs around this year. Zinc supplements sucked can often shorten, and make a cold less severe. May the New Year bring better health for us all. Thank you all for your unwaivering support but not a good day today...New Years Eve, sat in my chair all day! I suppose getting over a throat infection and cold could possibly explain some of my lethargy. Last night felt so enthused but today back to my normal 'failure' mentality.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Seems that everyone seems to have gone down ill at the same time. I put it down to my adrenals not being able to cope with all the xmas stress and everything and I have adrenal failure also. I'm at the moment feeling very tired and worn out, how can a simple cold put one on their back for a week! Mine came on Xmas day evening, so must have sneezed a bit too hard in my direction lol I hope everyone gets their wish this year and feel tons better by next Xmas.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi Be sure to read the websites about adrenals that I sent to Anne earlier this afternoon. There are two links in two different emails to her.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi , Maybe I did! I know I sneezed myself into a standstill. My daughter gave me some nasal decongestant which I found surprisingly effective. I did take additional adrenal support for the first few days until I felt the worst was over. I'm still a bit bunged up, but feel fine now. Hope you are too. I'm at the moment feeling very tired and worn out, how can a simple cold put one on their back for a week!
