Migraine,
meds and sleep. Woke up sweating because I didn't have the air on/had the door shut so I wouldn't be disturbed by hubby coming home - didn't matter as I was still awake when he came home because I had just got up to take my migraine meds.

Got up in time for lunch and to watch Australia Story about depression/suicide and it was very sad. I still remember the day the 10 newsreaders reported the death of the fellow 10 newsreader - September 2007. It talked about alternative treatment 12 fish oil tablets and a/d - seems radical and if there is any evidence out there that it works, can someone point me in the direction. Sounds so radical that it wouldn't work because there is only a/d and most people need more than an a/d for their mental illness.

Hubby is going to work and then spending two nights with his parents - taking them out tomorrow and working on the farm on Monday - putting in a post. Means I will be by myself for two nights and I am not happy about being by myself for two nights.

As for the stock cubes - hubby said they were in the pantry but he didn't get them out and will look for them when he comes back - late for work yesterday and today - was fine by me. He does have male blindness when it comes to things in the fridge/freezer but I'm not sure about the pantry as I can't find the stock cubes and don't really want to pull everything out to find them - let him do it instead since he said he would do it. He he he!!!

Caught up on my emails and then read the depnet diaries. Seems there are less than normal diaries on there for a weekend. Guess this is due to people being scared to write things.

My thoughts are depnet is for deppies and you should write your thoughts/feelings if you are up to it or make them private if you need to do that but don't be scared away. Depnet is there to help deppies not scare them away.

Take Care All!!!

Hi Studying1,

A friend was taking fish oil and a/d when I was in hospital, they didn`t seem to be working to well for her. It may be worth while trying it anyway, what do you have to lose. I`m not so sure on alternative treatments though.
As for the migraines, I know how you feel, I`ve had a constant one for over 4 weeks now.
I also hate being left on my own at night, even of a day it`s hard for me to be by myself.

The stock cubes would be in the pantry, where else would they be. But let hubby find them, he must know where they are. Won`t hurt him to help you out.
Sleep sounds like a really great idea, wish I could go back to bed through the day. I can`t sleep during the day.

Try the alternatives, they may work for you. All the best.

Hi There Mrs Studying

I watched Australin Story on monday nite - it was a really interesting but sad story - it proves that people have to be more aware of mental illness and there is no shame in asking for help.
Hope things with the Townhouse goes well. Love Tassie - when u go, can u let me know so I can sneak into your suitcase.
I am with you on the doona day/s - they are great
Take care and chat soon
Lynne
