My Gastric Bypass Journey -Onwards and Upwards-Well this is a start

Hi folks, I am just back from the doctors. I have felt lousy since wednesday with neck pain. Started to feel myself getting depressed over the weekend and ended up everytime I spoke to someone I cried. Just been to the doctors and it transpires I have an ear infection which is causing my neck pain and nausea. I told him I was beginning to feel depressed and he signed me off work for two weeks. I have my sleep study on thursday night so I cannot take any antidepressants as it will affect the result. I am to return to him in two weeks with a form to rate how depressed I feel and we will take it from there. Just called in work and got upset because the new boss really hammers you if your off sick. He thinks that if he throws a resource at it your sickness will go away and totally forgets we are human beings. I am concerned staying home will make me feel more isolated and depressed but work is so stressful it could make me worse. Going to take one day at a time...Linda x

Thanks Hun......

I got drs in abit, so need to get some important bits done for work! then drs then i will sit and let everyone know how it has all gone!!!!
 
Afternoon...

Sorry not been on but been abit manic here!!!!

Well went to counselling last night, the lady was lovely, was there for over an hour, we went threw everything and she is going to chat with my last counsellor to see when he can fit me in, although it may not be until after christmas... but at least it is a start... it was good to actually sit and talk to someone and feel as though i am normal!!!

Then went back to dr this morning, he is great..... spent an hour in there with him..... bit naughty but he is so understanding, he is goign to try and help push the counselloring forward, and also see if he can push for an appointment with the psyciatric nurse!!!!!

Also wants to look into the medication i take to calm me down when i am irratic and try and get me on a more permanant one, so it helps me........

Feel as though someone actually cares today!"!!!!
 
So excited just entered a compettion to go win tickets for the new film Fly me to the moon..... and I won 4 tickets........ well chuffed so goign to pics on sunday at 11.00 woooooooohoooooo Jordon will be so happy
 
Hi Mandy, good for you winning the tickets it will be a nice treat out for you. Glad you have an understanding doctor and that you are getting the help you require and if you have to wait until christmas its not that long to wait, Morrisons have the selection boxes in store already lol...Linda x
 
Hi Mandy fab news on winning the tickets just the boost you needed. Good luck with the counselling and that sounds like you are starting to get things moving. xx
 
Hi Mandy,
Well done you on winning the tickets. I hope that you have a lovely time.
I'm doing fine thanks. Less sickness now because I'm eating veg, potatoes and crispbread which seems to help. I'm running a bit behind with my dissertation so I bought a new laptop so that I can squeeze some writing into my long journey to the interview on Friday.
