Good Morning,

I hope everyone is ok. I had a wonderful healing session last night (I go to a reiki healing share, as I practice reiki). Woke up today with a low feeling in my stomach. I am aware of how I am feeling. Meant to be seeing my therapist today, I would rather not increase my dosage on the sertraline (50mg), I take on a Sunday and Wednesday only. A few weeks ago I was fine, I had a steady job, brimming full of confidence (due to the weight-loss), and then when the job stopped....I just noticed my mood has gone low. I am fully aware of my symptoms. I feel slightly annoyed with myself, and I feel that if I go back on the anti's I have let myself and everyone down. I am looking at the positives, I managed to get rid of some debts I had incurred however......
 
The fact that you have cleared some of your debts is good.

You are not letting anyone down if you go back on the antis as we all need a little help from time to time.

You have worked in before so I am sure something will come up for you aain. I know you would rather be in paid work, but have you thought about helping out in the local charity shop for a while?

I hope everything improves for you and you feel better soon
 
Hi just a thought, I do know how hard it all is as I am on prozac, have GAD and just diagnosed with Type 1. I am also a reiki practitioner. Did they tell you that after a healing that 'stuff' can be brought up i.e gets worse before better? Emotional stuff being brought up to the surface for you to clear? Maybe the stuff the healing has brougt up is something to discuss with your therapist?😉

Well done with clearing some of your debts. I'm sure that more work will come your way soon. In the meantime are there other things that you can do to enjoy the free time that you have? I'm hoping to start planning some nice cooking soon......my OH is loving me sending him to work with a packed lunch and homemade cakes - it's small things like this that can really have a positive impact on how we feel. However if you need to take more Anti Depressants don't see it as a failure. Just see it as a way of you helping yourself just like I do with the medications that I have for other things. I hope that you have a good day🙂.
 
Thanks for the encouragement. I am aware of what happens, however, it's still doesn't mean an easy ride 🙂 😉.

@Astbury1 - What you said is so true. although I have been practising reiki for a few years (6.5), I hadn't been to a share in over 2 and half months. That does normally happen when you leave a big absence. What level are you at, and what reiki do you practice, I know there are many variations out there. I practice Usui reiki, and looking to study learn Jikkiden reiki...🙂
 
I do Usui. Learnt Eastern and Western Reiki. Much prefer Eastern as feels more true to the original using intuition etc. When I had been diagnosed with type 1 everytime I did some self healing I burst out crying an hour later! I think it was bringing up all the emotions to be cleared 🙂
