Beating The Blues

Hi Softh,

Hope you feeling better today. The chances are good that you suffer from Post traumatic stess - in the light of what you went through and that you had to be the shoulder for everybody else. Please, watch your mood changes carefully and if necessary go and see a doc and get some anti-depressants for a while - maybe 6 months. - To feel depressed is natural in your situation but if it get out of hand it can have an influence on your strenght and commitment towards sobriety.

Look after yourself

Best regards

Getting in shape

Is my plan after my holiday first week in May. I will be eating what I want to substitute food for drink and I have the hot cross buns and Easter eggs to scoff this weekend. So second week in May will be time to knuckle down. I already take anti depressants which I think were prescribed to counter the depression I got from AL. I have started to halve the dose to wean myself off them so maybe that contributed to yesterday. I don't feel like skipping about just yet but it is only eleven days since mum died and less than week since the funeral so I have to be realistic. It is natural to be upset, proves I am alive and not some kind of uncaring monster. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!

A holiday sounds great. I was kind of stupid to start the diet a few days before Easter come to think of it...I will be the hot cross bun when everybody round me is scoffing chocolate! I think your holiday could not have come at a better time for you. You must be worn out.
