Well I can’t sleep again. Been doing EMDR therapy but last night could hear & see the awfulness of Steve’s collapse. PTSD.
Daughter is worrying me too. She hasn’t told her team about her Dad & is still speaking as if he’s alive. She says she just doesn’t want to have to explain it all to them.
I think with his 1 year anniversary coming up in December it’s starting to get to us a bit more again.
Will discuss with Counsellor next week.
Hugs to everyone whose suffering. Xx

I have started another course of counselling. It begins tomorrow. I feel I’m not moving on and have constant stomach anxiety. I was walking smudge and felt light headed and dizzy. I constantly feel hungry I don’t know whether it is my medication Sertraline but I’m frightened to come off them as the side effects are horrible. X

Hi am on 200mg sertraline max dose. I can assure you the hunger/food cravings lessen over time. It is difficult at 1st cos you’re concious about weight gain, binging or developing other issues around food, but this particular drug is really good imo & also if you need more help, for example with sleep , can be safely combined with a different anxiety/depression/sedative drug eg: clonazepam or quitiepeine. It’s a bit trial & error at 1st. When you are ready to decrease your dose decrease very slowly. Shave a bit of a tablet off for a couple of weeks, then a little more & so on. It’s arduous but it stops those horrid withdrawal symptoms like “head shocks”, dizziness etc. Never decrease your dose without speaking to your clinician.
