Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Thanks and Caroline, I cant seem to get him awake, he is a deep sleeper, we can talk tomorrow. I also take desiprimine for pain, but it also helps with depression, and then zoloft. But 2 months ago when he increased my zoloft to 200mg per day I noticed I was more irritable. He thought wellbutrin might help. But I am much worse, at least right now I am I dont know if I should try the 3 weeks that it takes to get into your system. Some things these meds just arent going to fix. I mean they are not going to bring my dog back and I dont know how to move past that. I have lost animals before and never had this problem. We plan to talk all day Sunday once I wake up, if AI even go to sleep it's already 5am. I took an Ambien with no luck tonight, they always worked before I guess it's the stress level.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 I'm not familiar with all the drugs, particularly because they have different names in the US. When C 1 wakes up, maybe she'll know if you are having a common side effect to the increase of Wellbutrin. I know I got as irritable as hell only yesterday by dropping my prednisolone, and that's after only taking it for a few days. Our bodies react in different ways. There must be something else that will do a similar job. That's why you must see your doc. And I've just remembered it's Sunday, so bang goes that advice! Well, Monday morning, then. Is your husband off tomorrow or Tuesday? If possible, maybe he could speak to your doc as well. On a practical level, who can you ask to help with the air con and the comput? Sounds like the air con takes priority. Can your family step in there? Missing Max is clearly a huge problem. I think it is the way all your stress and unhappiness is coming out, as well as missing him. Had he been with you for a long time? I wouldn't suggest that you run out and get another dog, but I did wonder if you could visit an animal rescue home and maybe help out with abandoned animals. I don't know how 'well' you are, so that idea may not be possible. It seems to me that you could really do with a change of scene. Advice is so easy to churn out, so I'm sorry if this is all meaningless to you at this time. I'm sorry I can't help you myself. It's a bit of a trek from Surrey! You are very much in my thoughts and prayers though. I hope you and Al have a good Sunday together. Can you do something special? You deserve it.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Dear Raewyn Thankyou for your wishes, I am looking forward to tomorrow now. I spent today washing and cleaning, did my groceries and I feel ready for my op now. I have packed my bag, so tomorrow morning I will relax and do anything last minute I can think of - however I know I will be online working, oh well. How are you going now? I would love to hear your progress. Nx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi I am doing ok , I have struggled a little bit with the last fill as almost everything gets stuck !! Fluid ( smoothies etc) are fine and I strangely, can eat a bowl of muesli in the morning !! I really think this is my wake up call and I really have to pay very close attention to the way I eat as well as what I eat. I just can not eat out at the moment as no one apart from my husband knows that I have been banded and it is hard to make '15' excuses for all the trips to the loo to unblock everything !! Years of staying away from sauces etc, has to be unlearned, as that seems to be a good way to get things down. I have been naughty and comforted myself with chocolate - why does that go down SO well LOL. !! Anyway I am so excited for your big day tomorrow and look forward to hearing your progress, take care hugs Raewyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hi Ghyll, Thank you again for your warm welcome. You are so right..I am enjoying every minute with our grand daughters. They are real young ladies now(15 yrs and almost 13 years). I am amazed at the wonderful school here, and the muscles that they are building up just schleping their book bags..just kidding.. Hope your new home is going well. Looking forward to meeting you on Sunday, and all the other Sydney Bandsters too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Dear Maree Thank you, yes I do feel 100% better - more positive and 'in control' than I have in a number of months. I guess I didn't realise how ill I was looking or feeling until now when I reflect and look back at photos. You are right Maree, this is the one!!! I had such a lovely time at Canterbury Leagues yesterday - it was my first full days outing since my op. Well I am definitely heading back there for another ice cream sundae, very naughty.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I dont know much about it myself, but it is okay once you get the basics. Then you just have a play with it - its all good. So how was your train trip? Nx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 That was lucky that you woke up, otherwise where would you have ended up? Back in Goulburn perhaps via Broken Hill. no, no resting or sleeping in the car - but then I dont sleep in cars. Early night tonight methinks.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Just remember,it ususally gets better with age. I shouldn't say " gets better " . You are able to " manage " it better. I am able to ignore the intrusive thoughts and not let them bother me as much. When I look at my daughter(11), I see a big improvement, but I too, don't see her being well. My son's(6) OCD is so bad, I am really fearful for him also. I only had panic disorder and generalized anxiety as a young child. I was diagnosed with OCD at age 18. I have the intrusive thoughts, as well as many cleaning and counting rituals, saying prayers in my head, thinking thoughts that I cannot stop. I was so bad years back , that if someone said , " hello " to me and I was in the middle of a thought, I would just ignore that person.I still do that to my kids at times!(lol) My main issue at this point is cleaning. I do some pretty bizzarre things, like having to pick up things in three's and going from room to room, only doing three things.(WEIRD, I KNOW!) I CAN stop these rituals now.I only do them if I'm feeling very overwhelmed with keeping things clean. As far as stopping the intrusive thoughts. They still pop up, but I immediately think of something else and resist the thought. I look at my own OCD and feel hope for my kids, because I realize that I have managed.I am not in a psych ward and have been able to go off my OCD meds.I do have issues. don't get me wrong, but I can do it on my own. I know that one of my biggest fears, is that my kids won't be independant. I feel they will when I really think about what I have gone through. I look at my kids and think , " Oh my God! They will never mangae on their own when they get older " But, you never know! You have to think positively! You have to be willing to receive therapy and participate. As kids, you don't think anything is wrong with you. You may think you are a little weird, but you don't realize the magnitude of the illness. As you get older, you realize that you HAVE to change your behaviors. I hope this helps some! Please don't be afraid to ask questions. All of us here want to help each other in any way we can, and sharing our own personal stories is a way! Hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
