OK.. I'm not great at responding to posts yet... Feel quite - well, blown away by other peoples knowledge, and feel too useless to reply as yet. I'm sure that I will work up some courage for more soon.
Anyway, I saw a post asking if I was OK.
Okish I guess. I feel alot better physically than last week, even though I still have alot of problems with the focusing of my eyes. They kind of flicker alot.
But mentally... if you'd asked me 4 hours ago,. I'd have probably also said I feel alot better, but that string holding me up snapped, and I'm all down again. It is so up and down, and thats so hard to cope with. I soent the weekend at my in-laws, and I guess I feel rough due to that (I ahve a mother -in0law who adores putting me down in front of my husband, to make her look better... Seriously! I honestly didn't need to be told how fat I'm looking every hour!). And I've ocme back to work, with alot of people hassling me about my time off last week.So, to sum up! All I want right now, is to be taken away by the men in white coats, to somewhere where I know no one, and hide under a rock! I simply wish I could go somewhere where I didn't ave to face the people I know at the moment, for it's the people I know, who don't understan dwhat I'm going through. I have been trying to talk to them, but I end up simply listening to their problems.
I'm babbling as usual... sorry.
Nikki

Amen to that! Often it is those closest to us who have the most trouble accepting our illness, because they feel responsible, even if they wouldn't admit it. At least I know that's true of my husband. Once he really understood that what I had was a chemical imbalance in my brain and it was not his fault, he became much more supportive of me. Good luck to you...I'll keep you in my prayers.
