Hi all

Well times marching on, and I'm back to work mon

Bit anxious but looking forward to seeing everyone and maybe get some sense of normality

Last three days I've been getting up and getting going and starting feeling more intrested in things.....

Get into the habit of setting the alarm 10 mins. early for the 1st week, so that you can 'come round'? and not rush hither and thither?

Mandz, it will be hard. I've found it very hard this week just doing the half days. The atmosphere in the office and general lack of empathy has been hard to take but hoping this week might be better. At least you have nice people there who are sympathetic. Will be thinking of you. Xxx

[Mandz]

Thanks all xxx

Just jules, I think sometimes it's not so much the lack of empathy I think it's more that folk still see you going about your work that they don't realise how you're feeling inside and your sensitivity to the situation your in is heightened! It's like when we receive a text, depends our mood can depend on how we read it, if that makes sense xxx

Good idea CLKD, I'll do just that 

Well time will tell .....I need to stay positive xx

My ex-boss used to ring up and say "I want to rant" if he wanted to make an issue about something, it was over and done with.

Maybe go in and say "I'm hormonal and I know how to use them" ……….  - or 'light blue touch paper and stand well back', I'm sure there's a suitable magnet or mug mat you put onto your desk 

Good Luck!

Well I went back to work on Monday and I've had such a good week so far! Doing half day mon Tuesday Thursday and full day fri and off Wednesday on phased return.

So today I went for a coffee and cake with my old boss then went shopping myself and bought some new clothes and home to make a steak meal for me n hubby.....I can't believe I'm coping so well! If I stay with how I feel just now I'm content with that for time being xxx

[CLKD]

That's good!

[Justjules]

Mandz, glad to hear everything went really well this week....well done you!!

[Mandz]

Well ladies I survived first week back to work and by God I was exhausted last night and today!

I've now been in agony with my lower back, probably my body in shock from having to work 

[Justjules]

Good news Mandz, glad it went well. Bet you were shattered! I'm back in full time again next week....wish me luck, I think I'm going to need it! Xxx

Well done Mandz!  I m so proud of you. 

[Mandz]

Hi thank you ladies ....

I'm not out the woods yet, but even I can see the huuuuuuuuge difference in myself

I'm begging anyone though that is struggling.... Ok hormones are awful when they play up but don't beat yourself up about taking an anti-d while you find the right hrt .....

I'm now on escitralopram 20mg( equivalent of 40mg of citralopram), two pumps of gel,and through my own choice because I live in ne of Scotland I'm taking vit d

Just jules, I really hope all goes well for you I will be thinking of you xx

[coldethyl]

Glad to hear things improving for you. I admire anyone coping with this and holding down a job! Xx
