Stick with it

none im afraid i think we just have to wait it out.. ive been tring hot baths or showers in the evening... it means i now get about 6 hours sleep but im still exhausted throughout the day! i just have no emotion towards anyone, even my boyfriend, feel lke i dont wanna be around him anymore and that hes the cause of all this... its not a nice feeling! good luck sleeping!

thanks for your reply. I felt like that around my girlfriend too its so weird what we go through and what these tablets do to us.

I am totally exhausted all the time at the moment, averaging about 5/6 hours a night, and very vivid dreams, about things I have done or people I have been with, it is as if I am reliving the events of the day.

Day 15 tomorrow and the nausea has vanished and the headaches are no longer always there, still have very little appetite, but I am managing small meals. No emotion whatsoever, everything a chore at the moment.

im the same rachel just now i still cry everyday and i feel i cant cope. its not nice to feel like this i wish i was just normal like most folk. Im struggling to speak to people, i just want to hide in bed watching dvds on my own. My break up with my ex is also really hurting me and making me worse.

Hi Nikki, i am with you on this, I have been on flu since October, i have bee searching my entire life for causes of this depression, you are as it sounds you have found your cause or one of them at least, which is a start to the road to recovery, as with all things there must be a cause, well done for recognising your downfall, all the best with it, chin up

Hi Col,

thanks for your message. I dont know what started me on my downward spiral again i wish i did know just like you.. all i do know that my partner leaving me has made me so much worse and im finding it tough to get better without her this time really tough. When i was at my worst before flu i was always wanting to be on my own etc and didnt want to see anyone or my partner but without her im so lonely i hate it. Thank you for your support on here it keeps me going x

hi nikki, i think i know where you're coming from. me and my partner split up about 4 months ago. since then she tried to commit suicide, i got a text message at 4 in the morning saying that she'd tried to end it all but didn.t succeed just lost her car, job and flat. and was i happy now. report just in the paper saying she was more than twice over the limit and banned from driving for 2 years. i've been on flu for about a week, just hope it'll work. i hate feeling like this, moreso because i didn't cause the break-up that's given me a break-down
