Update on everything

[MummyRose2009]

Well this last few weeks have got to have been some of the worst on record.

My first appointment with the nurse nearly a fortnight ago went great, fantastic, came home was doing corrections fine and writing everything down.
Then i got hit with really bad case of strep throat or tonsilitis and i mean bad to the point i have still got it and my voice hasn't come back completely. Also while i had this throat infection i came down with a bad cold, fever, sleepiness etc. Then while this was going on i got a mild bout of Food poisoning AND i had ketones in and out of me wee.

I went to the doctors, a few days ago and told her i just felt so incredibly down. I was fed up with everything and felt old and like i didn't want to face the same c**p everyday, that i found it hard to sleep at night and that i just felt so irritable and fed up and angry. She decided it was best to put me on Anti depressents for a trial period so i've not got them to add to the drug list!

She gave me some coal tar for my scalp too, cause now my hairs falling out, ALOT and my usually thick curly hair is now thin and i am actually scared to brush my hair its coming out that much.
We still haven't got a house, and could be waiting ages for the council to give us a house even though we have my mother in law and 11 years waiting. The current house is starting to get EVERYONE down cause its just not big enough for us and there is not enough space.
We still haven't got work, no matter how much we both apply to jobs no one ever gets back in touch.
My dryers broken down so i have piles of washing building up cause they still havent come out and fixed it...

Seriously the list goes on, i feel like i just want to give up some days. I would give anything to get away from it all for a day or two but suprise suprise money problems too.

Sorry for the rant i don't think ive had much good to say on this forum since i joined. Least i can be branded thee miserable one or something

This forum has been like a life saver for me to be honest, i don't know what i would have done without the help and advice that's been given, that goes for my husband too as it's helped all the family understand.

Just feels like i can't knock down this blooming big brick wall that's determined for me to stay miserable and poorly

Awww, sorry to hear this.

Two things spring to mind re hair loss - one IS anxiety - the other is Thyroid, Hypothyroid to be precise. Have they tested yours lately?

Sorry that things are stil so tough for you. The antidepresants can take a while to start working so try (I know its hard) to be patient. I guess at the moment the Dr is seeing you regularly so you can bring up the hair less etc.

There can be several causes of hair loss so its definitely something you should mention to your Dr.

I don't know what kind of job you are looking for - is it something liek shopwork where you could call into a few shops and pass in your CV - sometimes if people see you are keen then they can be happier to give you a chance. Have you and your husband had anyone take a look at your CVs ? Sometimes tweaking them can help.

I do hope that you start to feel better soon.
