Thats great - definitely getting it out regardless it the best way to go

[Donkey Toon]

Yep that's a positive step regardless oT and hopefully the test results will be good as well.

As for looking after yourself i'm not saying a word, would be the height of hypocrisy for me to advise or lecture anybody on that score. Let us know how you get on though, you might shame me into doing the same!

Good news!

Booked in for an operation at start of May to cut it out as specialist says even if it's not a tumour, still waiting on results, but it's got to go as likely to remain a problem for the long term.

Basically having something the size of a £2 pound coin removed and should be able to walk about after a few days.

Also had to sit and take a bollocking from him about my lifestyle but happy enough to do that and promised I'll drink less beer and try some excercise

That's great news mate

Anxiety sleep the night before going back to work...so stupid!

Been wide awake since 2am with work stuff going round my head after being off from Good Friday until yesterday. Even though it's crap I think it's better for me to check my emails a couple of times when I'm off as then I don't get anxiety over what might be happening / what might be waiting when I open my inbox after time off.

I get this almost every Sunday too. I find checking my emails the night before does help (deleting rubbish and prioritising others) just to sort my anxiety out. Otherwise I get the worst nights sleep.

Great to hear OT as Donkey said a positive step

Great news! Except for the less beer and more exercise part anyway. It was only a recommendation though right?

A&E. 3hr waiting time and it's full of the dregs of society (including me!)

Don't get over here very often so just catching up and hope everything goes well for you.

At least you didn't promise to drink a lot less beer and try a lot of exercise!

Hangovers.

f***ing awful.

Mine last at least 2 days now.

[originallad]

Also I used go clubbing back in the day. Like almost every weekend (this was 15 years ago). Have a couple of hours sleep and then spend all day in the workingmans club, watching the football and playing pool and snooker, then getting back on it. No chance in hell I could do that now. And if I did go clubbing now I would need a week to recover with two of those days in my bed with the blinds closed and my phone off.

Yeah when I was a student we would go out clubbing every single night, get up the next day and make lectures no problem, and do it all again.

These days I have 2 beers and the next day I feel so groggy and tired I can barely function.

Mental illness.

I've suffered from Depression, Anxiety and OCD for over 20 years.

I'm on citalopram for depression/anxiety and propanalol for anxiety episodes but really the propanalol doesn't rwlly do anything, just stops the physical aspects of it. I'd like some diazapam but it's too addictive and I'd use it all the time.

Some days and even weeks I'm fine but then others I'm not. I use alcohol a lot to cope with thinga, even though I know I shouldn't. It just numbs the thoughts in my head.

I have a loving wife, a house, a well paid job, a dog (we didn't want kids), so in essence I'm just your average bloke.

I just hate seeing things in social media that belittle mental illness like something that is fake. If I was in a wheelchair it would be different because it's physical. But because you can't see it, because people still don't understand it, some people don't belive it. I've lost friends because of it because they think I'm making it up.

Thankfully I have a great support network including my work which helps. But almost every day is a struggle.

This forum helps though!

Huge respect for talking about it, so easy to retreat away from it. I was on citalopram for a couple of years after I split with the ex-wife as couldn't get out of my own head, it took the edge off. I stopped taking it about a year ago, I still have days where anxiety gets the better of me (sometimes for no apparent reason) and I'm still not very good at talking about things face-to-face with people, but I can tell people close to me by chatting on message if I'm having a bad time of it. I think that generally there is much better awareness of mental health issues but still some work to do, and if you've lost friends as they don't believe you then honestly, they're no great loss. Here if you ever need to talk!

Have you tried fluoxetine? I'm on 60mg a day for OCD and it seems to help me quite a lot. Good to know there's a fellow depression, anxiety and OCD sufferer on here though! What is your dosage of propranolol? Originally I was given 10mg and may aswell have been having smarties for all the good it did. My psychiatrist upped the dosage and it really helps combat the anxiety symptoms, especially if I take it before a stressful situation.

My biggest pet hate is people saying they have OCD when they really mean they're a bit of a fanny. It's really not the same. Lol it's my OCD... f*** off man.

Cheers mate. Means a lot that does honestly. Thank you.

I've been on Citalopram solidly for 6 years now but on and off for 20. Have never tried Fluoxtine. I don't think anyway. 18/19 years old I was trying different anti depressants but Citalopram finally stuck.

On 40mg on Propanlol and 40mg Citalopram.

Haha good to know you're on the same wave length too!

Yeah the whole "oh I'm so ocd about my house" does my head in. They have no idea what OCD is actually about. I laugh about it now though.

Tbh, I know it sounds like a cliche but I need to eat healthier, cut out the booze and get some decent sleep for a sustained amount of time for a while!
