Hi All, I thought I would post this and get feedback and hopefully some information that will help others with questions. I am coming up to 3 year anni in April and emotions are STILL all over x is this something we come to terms with or something that we have to live with x x At my 1 Year mark I was at the point that I call cracking up couldnt think straight and just didnt know who I was anymore or who I was going to become x x I was put on anti-depressents at this point and was changed a number of times to find the right one and also referred for councelling ( which I found did help me alot) mainly come to terms with what had happened x x after about 3 months I felt myself coming back and getting back to work helped x x 2-1/2 years in I was re-referred for post traumatic stress and to help me deal with my anxiety and panic attacks........I am coming to the end of these sessions and I am feeling really nervous but really want to overcome all of this and move forward but I feel something is stopping me (Does anyone ever feel this way) I feel really lonely again at the moment family are getting with their lives and friends are none existent at the moment I just struggle letting anyone in after loosing all my so called friends after sah x x I have been having a few bad days lately feeling dizzy which is making me feel really sick which I do believe is dragging me down abit plus antony is at work alot leaving me and jack on our own x x I hope I am not rambling on x x On a positive note I do love life and thank god everyday for what I do have x x my family are my world :-D:-D I just want to know how everyone is getting on in their recovery x x and even though it is sounding like a negative post I must say it does get easier but it is a long hard process x x love to you all donna xxxxx

Hi Donna, I dont think that ESA gives you free nhs dental treatment but if you ask for a HC5 form from the dentist then you should? be able to claim the money back x x x love donna (hehe) my middle name is marie so cant even disquise it that way hehe

Hi Debbie, I am nearly 3 years on and I have had councilling and now I am having cognetive therapy and also on some tablets to help me through x x I have found the emotional side of things very hard to cope with x x like yourself I used to be the top of the party but now I am the quite one who shuts myself away x x I am in the process of having a change in life and hopefully will help me more with my confidence x x If you feel that speaking with someone will help then do it x x I find it alot easier to speak to other people about things x just feel like I am a burden when I try to talk to my family x x any help then I am here x x x just inbox me x x lots and hugs donna xxxxx

Hell Bay and welcome, You have just described exactly how I am feeling at the moment and I am 2 1/2 years in x x My doctors says all these feelings are normal so I am agreeing with them x x Like yourself I have a little one but you have 3 (No wonder you feel dizzy)..... Everyone has different sensations and feelings and one piece of information I always remember is my Neuro nurse (Jayne at QMC) says its ok to have headaches because when my annie burst it was like my head had been hit by a bus x x so Has long as I dont have that feeling everything is going well x x EVERYONE has anxiety already in them BUT after something tragic happens it triggers it and your guard comes up and you have anxiety worse because of all the triggers in your mind x x Its a long emotional process of recovering x x Hope this helps a little I have gone on abit Keep smiling hun x x if you want to message me you can x x I am going through anxiety the same has yourself x x good days and bad x x but we are survivours x x :-D tc lots love donna xxxxx (I think we are nearly neighbours I live in derbyshire)

happy christmas all you fab people lots lots love donna xxxxx

Hi Lemonade, I suffered/suffer with anxiety and depression alot I went for counselling for post trumatic stress and I found it a great help.....I al also taking meds for this because I felt so bad and had just had enough of it all x x I am back to see someone tomorrow for anxirty and to talk to x x My family dont talk to me about my SAH and I find it really lonely the only guys I have are on here and they are a god send and mean the world to me x I am ALOT better than I was and I have alot of underlying things from the past that my SAH has brought to the surface but apparently thats what happens when you go through something as traumatic as we all did x x I take one day at a time (each day I feel different) BUT it does get better... I dont have any really close friends around me but I think they dont understand how I feel and I find trust very hard but again I dont know what that is all about.... Lemonade please feel free to pm me you are not alone and just keep positive and think it DOES gett better x x x lots love donna xxxxx

Thankyou everyone what would I do without you all. I have an appointment with the nurse on Tuesday (my doctor is booked up for 4 weeks) but she is lovely and I have a list of questions x x mostly baby ones hehe I also have an appointment on Tuesday with a cognetive theorpy (mind spelling) lady who I can speak to about my anxiety and how to help me move forward because I still have days were I find myself in a crying mess about the fact that I nearly died and never saw my family again and even though I know how lucky I am I just cant move forward and keep shutting myself away crying x x x love to you all donna xxxxx

Hello all, I keep trying to pop on from time to time but life is sooooooo busy at the moment x I just wanted to ask (and I know all recoverys are different) but how was people feeling 2 1/2 years into their recoverys.... I still feel really really dizzy at times were I find it even hard to look at things without feeling sick x x x I seem to have alot of headaches still (even with tablets) and always tired... I want to go to the doctors BUT i dont want anymore tablets to have to take and I just feel that they dont really know how to deal with me since my bleed they tell me its my anxiety (which yes I do suffer with really bad but I feel this is because od the dizzyness) if that makes sense:confused::confused: I want to try for a baby next year but need to loose weight but dont feel I can exercise because of how I am feeling (I get really nervous if I am stnading any longer than 30 minutes (It just does not sound right) x x x Sorry if I sound confused but I feel like a lost cause and dont know what I need to do x x I am VERY overweight and really want to diet but I get shaky if I dont eat and anxious that I may faint (I have a fear of blacking out) sorry for rambling on just didnt know if anyone else suffers with this x x OH and my partner says I need to push myself more but I just dont know what more I can do I never stop arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ty all love donna xxxxx

Can I ask ? Why do the doctors/medical staff say that there is just has much chance happening to someone else than happening to me again? yet travel insurance is more because it has happened to us x x Has anyone ever questioned this because it is these type os situations that make it difficult and confusing for me to get on with my life x x ok rant over lol I just dont think it is fare x x love donna xxxxx
