    big hugs FG. Sitting in a&e is rotten at the best of times, but worse when you're going through a tough time MH wise.

    Great to hear you enjoyed your first day alaska!!

    I've been having a ****ty few days myself. App with my consultant on Thursday so will see what she says. Wonder if my meds need another tweaking.

    So I'm starting on Venlafaxine tomorrow, doctor says I might need to be on it for 9 months. Hoping it sorts my head out.
    Anyone on here with experience of it?

    Got bloods done there..then seeing a&e docror and then psych on call

    Worn out. The staff seem to have realised that I am not fond of crowds noise etc....so while a bit lonely it's comforting.

    Got bloods done there.. saw medical doctor (her name was Comfort)
    Now waiting to see the psych on call and blood test results.

    Worn out. The staff seem to have realised that I am not fond of crowds noise etc.... am.in a room (visitors room) with a nice little shaped sofa and just me. It's a small bit lonely but reassuring at same time.

    I should become one oft those nuns in an enclosed where they don't speak and only sing. You would also be away from hustle and bustle of life.

    fg, I think these are questions that you need to direct at a medic... Have you found out from Pieta or citizens information whether you're entitled to a change of public psychiatrist?

    Well apparently if I meet with my psychiatrist and my gp, we are under the impression that I can change then.

    I think it's my gps ways of getting me to meet with current psych and getting me to understand why she handles me the way she does. He thinks she is using confrontation as a way of helping me. And he thinks by meeting her I Will understand.
    I just don't have any trust in her and as I said I went to other side of city last night for a&e.
    If they don't change , I will probably have to go private.or else just do therapy.
    Thing is gp wants me to have multidisciplinary team around me.

    Awful nights sleep, which seems to be regular now on the night before going back to work (bank holiday here yesterday). Woke up at 4am, wide awake but yawning like mad. Eventually dosed off sometime after 5 and woke up around 6.15am after some weird dreams. Feeling fairly tired now.

    Just was assessed.
    Was asked would hospitalisation be an option, but I don't think so. Will have follow up tomorrow and ta weekend with option to come out to meet nurse who assessed me if I need a chat.

    I need to keep telling myself .It's okay. .. It will pass.

    The medication I'm on makes me so frickin sleepy. :( It's not as much as a problem now while I'm off work, but I don't know how I'll possible cope when I go back. I've to take it once at night and once in the morning, I left it til midday today because I'd a load of stuff to get done this morning, it knocked me out for a good three hours or so. Feels like half my day's been wasted. At least I got the "big" jobs done, but I've so much still to do today and I'm still really groggy.

    Might be best to mention it to your GP or psych the next time you're talking to them, DD. Like your said, it's ok there now but could make you feel kinda spacey when you get back to work again.
