I will ask the wife what she has. I do know she changed to them recently and they are much better than the last ones.

I'm having to do two-hour walks late at night. Seems to be the only way I can gain any peace at all. Not ideal but the weather's been mostly OK lately. Find myself going near places I hung around as a teenager which is bittersweet as so many buildings are no longer.
Still it will hopefully shift some of the timber caused by Mirtazapine use.

I'm not taking anti-d's but have been on three 2 hour walks this week and feel so much better especially when it's in remote places. It might not be the answer and it's so easy to say but harder to do. Small steps helps.

That's a great watch thanks. I have a hard time with New Years and all the falseness of it all so I am holed up trying to meditate today. May you all find some peace today.

This last year or so has been as bad as when i first became ill 34 yrs ago, having sepsis has been a step too far. I am not able to do anything i could do a year ago , i am not taking care of myself too well. I have no gas boiler now so i am wrapped up all the time, i dont mind that too much
I adore merlin and cant ever give him up, he was traumatised when i left him at the vets all day for his recent operation , he has become very clingy , the thought of leaving him back at the sanctuary and terrified , for a long wait as black cats are the last to be adopted ,would break my heart
So i am here as long as merlin is alive, then i go as well. He is only just five so i might still be here prattling on about him in ten years time, who knows
Cancer has ravaged my family and there is just me and my older brother left , he is about ten years older than me so i could be all alone in the near future
I am been thinking a lot about the young me , before the age of thirty when i was fit and healthy and a bit of a handful, ha, i loved my life, i was sporty , worked hard played hard, one marriage down the next one not too far off, comfortable but not well off , we saved all year for two weeks in greece , going back time and time again . If you have good health you can do anything , go anywhere, enjoy
I am sorry to the ill people who cling to and fight for every second of life to be with their family. Please dont take offence at what i have said, we all have different circumstances, i am alone and in extreme constant pain
I spend all my time on here for company , for laughing , some would say fighting ! My beloved blueboys have made me very happy , i am not disappointed this season , i cant find it in me to expect them to keep going year after year. I wish everybody well even the ones i have on ignore
Sorry for the long post , it has been coming for a while. Me and merlin to the end !

Happy to help, and happy new year. Have tried to meditate some time, itwill test your patience and mind. Start with low minutes and add more time after some time. Its many many times of meditation to test out after getting more experienced.

Getting old is shit Kaz.................each year something new happens health wise....and it's never good. I blame years of booze , cigs and pies...and City.
Went into work tonight still under influence of drink, not Bigly but felt it. Work has driven me to suicidal thoughts, I have zero work life balance and they know this. Occupational health have said so. I told my boss his and went home. Unsure what to do next. I have had depression for decades but beat it but my job is regressing me. I’m over worked in my role but management know and don’t care. I’m unsure what to do next. I can self certificate fir a week but after that, I don’t know.

Don't know about your personal circumstances, but changing my job and country worked well for me when I was in a big rut about 15 yrs ago. Go and work for people who appreciate you. Start looking for escape routes and act on those which appeal to you.

What your doing isn't making you happy you need to escape it which is easier said than done, I get fed up quite abit I'm not even working atm I'm pretty much just a full time parent which I enjoy but I do have my days were I hit stress I won't use the word depression for me because it's not, it's stress mainly and being sat there hoping I'm doing things right haha! Do you have a driving licence pal? My Mrs works for bee network on bolton routes and she seems to enjoy .

Get out before it fucks your head up properly . Lifes too short.
Change your circumstances ....seriously.

I am slowly giving up, the house is freezing and dark ( no boiler) havent taken the bins out , rubbish everywhere, i dont want to get so ill i am back in hospital again so i am wrapped up and staying in bed to keep warm , i am battling on for merlin as he is all i have, although he keep weaving in and out of my feet and i can see another fall coming !
What a difference a year or so makes , i am not much of a crier but today i am doing it, i am over the limit on painkillers, tramadol and maximum pregablin from the dr and paracetamol and ibrufen with coedine which he told me i can do as well. Max citalopram , diazepam and mitrazapine as well. Seen the muscular skeletal consultant , had an mri and when i was in hospital a couple of weeks ago a ct scan and bloods and ecg, all ok, very extreme postural hypotension which is why i stumble and fall so much is all they found
Kaz meet advanced fibro and there is nothing we can do for you, dont you just hate it when they say that. The consultant said i was hoping to find something that i could treat and cure i but i am sorry i cant. There is also no research into fibro and nothing new in the way of treatment
Sorry to unload , it is that kind of day today

Speak to your doctor, he will give you a sicknote no problem. Obviously I don't know your circumstances in regards to sick pay and what not.
I've been off with stress/depression since end of September, but I get full pay from work. My work have been pretty good about my situation and have said take as long as I need and reminded me my sick pay reset on 1st of jan giving me another 26 weeks of full pay. When I do return it will be phased and they will help me any way they can.
I started on 50mg of setraline and after about 6 weeks upped it to 100. Both times I had an initial lift but then started dipping. I've got an appointment next week where I'm going to ask about going up to 150 or trying another. I'm doing counselling but that doesn't really help me I have a very stressful life which can't change, she told me there is nothing she can really help me with except the session being somewhere I can vent and get things off my chest.
I'm ranting now so I'll stop, just one more thing, the drinking isn't helping you right now,
All the best, feel free to pm me if you need to talk
Went back after a week and my boss basically blamed me for me having to do so much work. I have a meeting with occupational health in a few week, hopefully they can set him straight. Had depression in past, for years before I even knew too. Been on Prozac it’s a short term fix. Finally did corrective behaviour therapy last year and it helped a lot. I regret not doing it sooner.

Sorry had to post this.
My mrs lost her sister yesterday to alcohol, she was 49.
Her drinking was ultimately driven by longstanding mental health problems and it wasn't a surprise but it's absolutely shite. Her mum is in bits. We've shed so many tears and spent so many hours worrying and trying to help her. If she could only have asked us and taken the help but she was too stubborn and even towards the end in total denial.
For anybody who does feel they drink too much, or use anything such as drink to cope then please just ask for help.
