Stressssssssssss!!!!

[scooterscot]

Blood pressure good - went to see someone tonight to get me 'ed sorted.

Nightmare 18months... benched... tough contract... studying... mum died... moved house ... lost 9 stones... started plan B...

--- then REALLY EASY contract and then the wheels have fallen off?

Have you got someone close to talk to apart from us?

Recommend it. Don't even think of looking for an answer to all this, just talk, even if over a pint.

If you can get to the gym now and again it will help, as will avoiding all sugar and caffeine for the next couple of weeks.

A above all remember to ask yourself now and again, what's the worst that can happen?

I've noticed in a few people before, that their stress only seemed to manifest itself properly after the immediate (even sustained) threat factors had subsided.

Maybe there's something to that - perhaps the subconscious 'feels it's no longer in fight/flight mode' so it can let it all out now, without the risk of total-gibberfactor.

Check your BP... have that drink with a good mate you can talk to instead of using it to sleep... sounds like you're seeking counselling and have been exercising - all good.

Re your bereavement - sometimes these things sneak up on you and smack you when you're least expecting it. Been there, have the T-Shirt. Advice is to consciously, deliberately let yourself grieve, rather than to avoid the subject. Grief has a way of coming out eventually - if you resist or ignore or deny it, it will be ten-times worse.

9 stone!!!

I thought I was doing well with 2.5 stone in 8 months.

Seriously, I would lose it without my range of pointless hobbies.

Sorry...

Found out I'd lost 9 stones been at it longer than 18months...

Only another 7 stone to lose!

Are you saying you were 16st over weight!

Quite aside from your personal trials and tribulations wouldn't losing the 9 stone cause some side effects possibly even

Bad sleep patterns, bad mood, frustrated, argumentative and lack of concentra...

Yep - went to Brussels and got a 'band'.



Maybe some side effects?? - I hadn't thought of it?

I would imagine everything you describe above, coupled with such large weight loss over this relatively small period of time has probably had a massive impact.

Glad you're getting your noggin sorted, hope you feel much better soon.

Well done on the weight loss and contract - things will feel better soon.

Sally? Is that you?

Flippin' heck T! That could have a massive effect on your health!

Since you went to Brussels you got it done privately? I'd go to your GP and make sure your diet is correct - that can be a real problem with gastric bands done abroad, many people only get the minimum assessment and support.

Get yerself checked out.
