Ok so I feel really shit

Fuck it really works wonders

 

yeh I agree with this fuck it attitude.
I really don't see why it matters if anyone understands your choices in eating and what not? I mean if they don't get it then who cares? I know they pressure you into eating certain foods but they can't force it down your throat so don't eat it and ignore whatever arguments they have. And I don't think having a clear name to identify your choices in eating is going to help any.

if you are clinically depressed, maybe you should get back on the meds. Or maybe try to find a natural alternative to help with stress, anxiety, and depression.

try to relax, it may sound hard but if you are really as stressed as you sound then it isn't going to help your health any and could be the main reason why you are getting migraines, and all of the above you mentioned.

 

Cheers guys feeling a load better than i did earlier Yis i may consider printing it all out obv take out the swear words xD

Gretaoto, its fustrating when they make snide comments or laugh when i try to explain my morals and reasoning But meh..

Fuck it ^^ They don't understand me, so fuck 'em

 

Hey dragonvine!!! i'm kindof new to this posting thing..so forgive me.
First of all...HUGS!!!! i'm veggie and i got heaps of crap from my family when i decided to go for it...for pretty much the same reason as you. And yeah, i got myself a really good vegitarian cookbook and planned my meals to make sure i was getting everything i need bit of work...but well worth it if you can get the energy to do it.
Also, cfs and depression are VERY different. two of ny friends both have cfs and the only answer they have is: sleep when you're tired, do some stuff when you're not, take care of yourself.
Otherwise you can get really rundown emotionally and physically and end up with shit like depression. And yes, it is really hard to diagnose properly. Try and find a specialist in your area cause they will be able to see whether it's cfs or not pretty quickly, also if you have a diagnosis, your family might take it more seriously and hopefully will be a bit more supportive of you which might make things easier for you to deal with ...failing that, find a good friend whose shoulder you can cry on - crying on your own is no help at all!!!!
Anyway, once again...hugs!

 

i dont have much to input (other than hugs of course) but if you want something herbal to take, try st johns wort (tea). its an effective treatment for depression and is safer than anti depressants, with fewer side effects. read about the drug interactions it might have and the increased photo-sensitivity though.

 

Ohh thanks sl I'll defo give that a try, i dont like anti D's ><

dead-crazy: I'd say cfs and depression are quite similar.. with cfs, depression comes with the territory, cus your body is so run down your mind cant help but follow. along with all the feelings assosiated with not being able to go out to see friends or the fustration of family or friends not understanding.

im afraid people are going to start calling me a hypersomniac.. im sure people already think it.. and im sure my doc is going to pass all this dizziness/hot flushes/ vision trouble/ headaches/ breathing problems off as panic attacks... if he/she does ILL SCREAM xD

and i have to wait another two three days to see a doc ¬¬

 

people always attack with the hypersomniac but if they think its bad sleeping 10-16 hours they can suck it! I likes me sleep! also helps when youre troubled

 

i didnt read it all but have you gotten a linicle diagnosis from a dr?
they cant argue with the results of testing by specialists
i would also look into bach flower remedies to help cope with daily symoptoms they work wonders for alot of mental and nervouse systrem issues
consult a nutritionist too to mak,e sure your not losing nutrients u need


and lastly anytime ya need a hug or to talk im here
i totaly understand i hear it alot too

 

I think I've got official diagnosis for depression/ocd/panic attacks, and I'm getting a consultation thingy for my cfs 5th may, and this week im going to the docs to demand they find out what the fuck else is wrong with me xD Especially my breathing, cus I've heard other people go to A&E for episodes that sound like what I get most days... And my family don't even blink an eye when I say my chest is about to implode... But meh, I'll go shout at the docs asap.

Yea dude, hypersomnia is such an ill understood thing, i tell people i have it and they are like UH whut? But sadly it seems to have passed now that I've gotten this migrane cold SHIT thing when I just wanna sleep for days cus I cba with the days anymore Rarg.

Lol just wondering what people are thinking about me moaning about all my shit but TBH I need other people, I need input, I need people to moan to xD

So Sorry xD but I need you guys!!

Moan moan moan

 

I think it's fine Well obviously it's a shame you've got these things to moan about lol. I wouldn't mind having strong words with your oblivious family...

 

Hehe xD ty I'm probably making them out to be monsters, I'm only saying the bad things.. but atm there is only bad stuff to say xD I know they care about me blahblah and are only trying to help... But its rubbish help

Edit: They are lovely and I love em, but they just don't understand xD *sigh*

I'm thinking about doing something with psychology after my art degree, like another degree or some sort of course.. I know mum will be like 'you dont have the money' or 'you dont have the qualifications to do a degree in psch.' or 'dont be silly' or 'you've just wasted 20k and 3 years doing something you dont like?!' AH

I've got to stop imagining conversations in my head 0.o

 

yeah. i imagine me & your family having a great big argument =]

 

Hehe xD I think my sister's blunt arrogance will stun you to silence xD And I'd be cowering in the corner hiding in a duvet

 

corr, im used to that with my own sister

 

:O What do you do to sheild it?! XD Im always stunned tto silence, dunno what to do 0.o

 

usually pride helps... or anger...

dont worry about the moaning sometimes its just necessary to do so and besides were happy to be able to help

 

have you been officially diagnosed with these things? [Im sorry if you posted the answer...if so I didnt see it.] You say youve had these symptoms your whole life...how far back exactly can you remember having them? Did you never go out and play as a kid? Have your parents always made you feel inferior and lazy? Just q's to help me understand.
After my daughter I had severe post partum depression....I know what the murky black depths of depression look like and I wouldnt wish it upon anybody. Its horrible. Following my depression I started getting severe panic attacks....my whole body would tremble uncontrolably, I wouldnt be able to control my breathing, and my heart would beat so fast and hard that when I would look down...I could actually see it beating through my chest. I tried different meds but they all had weird side effects on me. Finally I threw in the towel and decided to take a holistic route to healing. I cook all my food from scratch....yes its a lot of work....but Im used to it now and feel great. I also practice yoga and meditation daily which has helped tremendously. I would really reccomend trying it. The breathing techniques from meditation help me get through my anxiety when it arises and Im not as depressed anymore which is great but sucks cuz some of my best art work came from my depression! =]
Anywho....your diet is certaintly an element...what you put in is what you get out! Im not saying you should eat meat....just try staying away from preservatives and try eating more raw and organic foods. Perhaps see a nutritionalist or research on the web how much of everything your body type needs on a daily basis and make it work. The right foods could help boost your energy enough to go out more. Find a hobby. Learn a sport.
Eeeeek this is getting long...Im gonna end it now! =]

 

tell her to fuckin do one =]
ive learnt to ignore her tbh, we've never been best pals

and yes mandy! depression is HORRIBLE, when its really bad. worst thing ever. ive been meaning to start a healthy eating regime, but im so fussy about food.. ive stopped eating packet meat and processed meat etc, i only really eat fresh chicken breast, yumyumyum. wish i had the motivation to actually start doing things from scratch, and eat more veg etc =/

 

I *think* I've officially been diagnosed with depression and ocd and panic attacks, cus I got teh meds for those (on for a month and off them now) but CFS im getting a meeting with some dude at the hotpital to assess me

Hehe today we got a leaflet from a local organic farmerrr, saying he can deliver fresh organic veg to our door does eggs and meat too, bloody genuis, one of my dreams come true The address on it is half an hour away, so I'm wondering if he could deliver to my uni adress xD Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuudddee ^^

I'm in a good mood today home alone, got ear poppingly loud music playing, the sun is shining, got a nice breeze through my window... Bliss ^^
