Moving and grooving and oops fell over

A page in the diary "Meandering Thoughts"
Written by cateblack 28. May 2008 11:58 PM

I went to look at a unit today ... i need to move out of my house ... it is high set and i am finding it hard to manage the 12 stairs up and down... but I have to sell my house first... so where do i live? ... will i have enough money to buy another place? I don't think so... but I want to try ...

Also having trouble with swallowing my tablets... every time I take them lately... i feel as if it is stuck half way down my throat... I can't bring the tablet back up or swallow it down... i cough and nothing moves it.. i drink and nothing moves it... it is becoming very annoying...

I am also decreasing my anti depressant with my pdoc's help... the idea of decreasing them is to see if my cognitive function improves... to see if my thinking becomes clearer and more creative... my pdoc says my problems with disorganised and distorted thinking is the depression and anxiety...

I want to know when I became anxious... why did i start to worry over things... i am a bit better with worrying than i was but when I can concentrate... i get fixated on ideas... and that is another thing ... my concentration is poor... I am suffering from poor concentration... i am hoping the decreasing of anti-depressant will change this...

Thank you for all your comments and support...

take care

It might be worth getting a doc to check out your throat to make sure there isn't a problem there.

Hopefully by reducing the meds you will be able to concentrate a little better. I know how much the meds have slowed down my ability to think and concentrate.

Cate and I hope that you find a more suitable place to live soon and manage to sell your house. It sounds like a really positive move.

Take care

This is a busy diary. Depending on where you are in the area, if you can afford to buy, buy. I know it is a sellers market at the moment but I am sure if you sell your place, you will have enough money for another place.

Can fully relate with the swallowing of the pills - only mine get stuck and leave a horrid taste in my mouth/reflux. Chop them in half and have the gp have a look at your throat to make sure nothing is growing where it shouldn't be.

Good to hear Dr T is reducing your meds. I hope it helps your cognitive memory/thoughts. Have you and he discussed the CBT course at Belmont - helps with distorted thoughts, anxiety, depression and various other things.

Hun, you are not the only one worrying about things. I am scared because Dr S wants to change my a/d and I don't really want to do that as I feel fine with the ones I am on.

Go Cate!!!

Hi Cate,

Wow, so much going on. Looking at moving is a very stress inducing thing so be kind to yourself. I hope you are able to sell your house and find a home more suitable.

I would suggest getting the GP to check out your throat if it's just all of a sudden you're having problems swallowing pills.

I hope decreasing your anti deps goes well for you, I reckon you sound stable enough and it will certainly help lift the fogginess and enable you to concentrate more.

Take care,

Thank you cateblack for your welcome and support. I am scared of needing to take medication, but if necessary I will for the sake of helping my marriage, as I love my family.
