Hi bobby,

An increase to my AD has settled me a little, but on a lower level than I was. I am no longer spiralling downwards.

I am dieting by writing down everything I eat and counting calories. It has been a difficult time over the Holidays and since, Mirtazapine makes me crave food overnight and I am always waking up due to the pain. Cereal bars at 3am do not help, but are better than the chocolate I used to eat. I draw my willpower from bizi and the rest of my friends on the Weight Loss Forum and just from knowing I cannot continue as I was, what with Diabetes and heart problems.

Your furry companions do sound like real characters. I used to love the interactions between all of mine in the various combinations. I am too ill to care for any now and I miss the company.

I do suffer terribly with Anxiety and Panic Attacks. I am being Triggered at the moment trying to pick the phone up and return to Therapy, as I promised my GP. I was damaged by my last 2 Therapists and am scared to go back.

Dave.
