I'd check out eft. It might help & it can be free. Just Google it.
Hi sue,
how did your appointment go honey?

Hi, I ended up cancelling it cause I was feeling better. Still having some emotional times but managing to drag myself through it. The hardest is still keeping going with the shared hobby we had, caving.
Hi Sue, when I split from my partner continuing with the things we did together was hard, even things like hoo.g for certain walks or walking a certain way to town reminded me of him. I took the decision to do as many of those things on my own as I could. Whilst it was painful, a year or so on I felt I had reclaimed these things for me & that they no longer reminded me of him. Doing them on my own was the norm & I still enjoyed them, it was just different. I'd say stick with it, it might be more painful at the start but it's better in the long run. Good luck

Any advice gratefully received. I'm thinking low calorie generally. I'm struggling to motivate myself though a lot of the time.
Hey there Jane N, how are you getting on now? I'm on prozac too, how are you finding it? It took a really long time to kick in for me, in my last severe episode, and when it did it would help a little and then plateau for ages until my doctor eventually upped the dose so it would help a bit more. Are you getting nausea as a side effect? Eating breakfast before you take your tablet, if you take it in the morning, helps with that and also it normally fades after a few days or a week or so. I'm new to dieting though so I don't really have any tips on that. Prozac is one of the more appetite-suppressing anti depressants iirc. I was on Mirtazapine once, it was awful! it made me want to eat till my stomach hurt from being full of food and still I wanted to eat moreHi, I've been struggling since breast feeding my youngest eased and my cycle returned.
