Lets all be anxious/depressed together.

Mood is decent but sleeping less than 3 hours a night at the moment.

managed to cry on the phone to AIB, when sorting out something so simple as changing my address.
Cancelled my counsilling tomorrow, as i just cant face it

I just had a short panic attack there. Filling out forms for a job I did in college I should have submitted weeks ago, and I'm having trouble filling parts out, and I got really panicked. Think I'm a bit worried to go to the office and ask for help cause I'm so late submitting it. I'm kinda considering not submitting it, which means I won't get paid for my work, which makes no sense

Uch I don't know whats wrong with me lately, haven't been this bad in well over a year!

I often feel like that. Like something that will mess up my life but at least it means I don't have to make a phone call of talk to someone or whatever. I have to remind myself that these people won't look twice at me. They're dealing with this in their day to day life. In your case they probable get hundreds of people that hand things in late. Lets face it it's an Irish thing. They'd be probably more surprised if you handed it in on time. And you have to think of how fabulous you'll feel when it's done. Often have to give myself a good talking to. Can't always convince myself though.

I came off the lexapro last Friday and I feel a million times better for now at least can't believe how much it had zoned me out but I'm just wondering if anyone had experienced lightheadedness when coming off meds, I keep getting little dizzy spells?

I heard back from Aware, I didn't get a place as they had already been booked up although they did say there were places in Tallaght and Walkinstown (neither of which suit me). There'll also be more courses later in the year.

Crap day today, getting serious grief in work, luckily its not just me, it's everybody.

Hi ! Havent been on here over the wknd, was visiting my folks. Glad to here in posts that u enjoyed your wknd mountineering, good on ya for getting the energy together to do that.

I havent heard back from Aware, must check me emails. Pity u didnt get in, maybe u will on next set of courses.

As for work, i semi enjoy being off, once i'm off for long enough to stop actually thinking about it. But i know what u mean about the sparkling clean house !!, except i have dogs who keep messing it up !!
Pity you got grief today at work after your nice wknd, hope things have relaxed a bit tomo...

I got that when I came off Lustral - when I came straight off it I was dizzy as hell, lightheaded every time I stood up, but the next time I weaned off it and didn't get any dizziness.
So I think it's a normal side-effect. But mention it to your doctor?

to be honest I came off it myself because for the last few months i've had zero motivation i've gained a load of weight and just been zoned out and when I mentioned to my doctor she just put the dose up which led to three days of being so angry and aggressive I nearly punched someone, never in my life have I felt like that so I said here goes stop taking it for a few days see how I go and I feel good except for the lightheadedness!

How so Joe - did the dizzyness go away or did you have to go back on the medication?

Snoopy1 - why did you cancel counselling if you don't mind me asking? I just ask because I'm in two minds whether to continue with mine it doesn't seem to be helping!

I went back on the meds, but not because of the dizziness - I should never have gone off them. But obviously, at the time, I thought I knew better than the doc.

*VOM* All over my life right now.
