Good for you Jules, proud of you. I have to say you sound very positive, pinching husbands appointment indeed, shows you really mean it, the sooner the better. Be proud of yourself and I hope you have given others encouragement to make an appointment for themselves. I think you are the first to report back with good news. |

Thanks for that Jules, It would help you to write down things as well, if you are like me your mind will go blank, I sat there like an idiot with my hubby doing the talking. Even now when I see doctor I forget to tell her things and only remember when I get home, yes I do write it down but leave that at home as well. |

Up until some years ago I used to get out the house at the weekends on a very regular basis, either for shopping, going to my swimming club as well as all the galas I competed in. I also had some other sporting hobbies. |

Well congratulations to you all!! Seems some have taken the bull by the horns! Others will, but need more time. I've just read through from page 11 when I last got to look, and have seen some new names. So nice to meet you all. A couple of pm which I hope I answered. |

thanks for pointing out the dangers maybe of mixing health food items with prescription ones - always check with GP first |

OK time to admit I was in a psychiatric ward (enforced) about 30 years ago. It's not a nice place to be, all the doors were locked (except the bathrooms). I couldn't even remember my home phone number when I was allowed the pay phone. |

jenny its hard being a mum. In my house we have a roller coaster ride we all suffer hubbie and I have passed it down the line we are lucky that its been only mild but its taken me 7 years to get people to look at the fact my 14 yld son (our youngest) is suffering from depession and thats only because he lost his grandam(my mum Jan07) grandad (hubbies may07)great gran(hubbies june 07) his horse which we had for 11y a week before his 14th birthday and his school work was crap any wounder poor kid and Ive not been well got low Iron and they can't find out why been checked for eveything over past year all clear . It takes it toll don't forget to look after your self we tend to put the family first I was always the strong one in our family when i had my break down everyone was surprised and there is such a thing as carer stress for anyone looking after someone with a long trem illness if your doctor will not listen find ONE THAT WILL if not we will CHIN UP |
