The "Have You Had Your Tablets Today" Question....

[Tinkerbell_xx]

Since having Pnd and being on anti d's i have found that you can no longer just have a "Bad Day" like everyone one else has.

If i've got a bit of a bag on one day and just feel a little C**p no one says "What up mate" any more or "Keep ya chin up...You'll sort it"

It's always "HAVE YOU HAD YOUR TABLETS TODAY YET"

It really bugs me as it makes me feel like i have done something really bad or if i had forgotten to take it that day i feel like i have totally let everyone down AGAIN by slipping back to how i used to be (even tho im not and i know i'm not)

I feel that if i had forgotten to take my tablets then that is a good thing coz it means i must have been feeling good about something or looking forward to something which was occupying my mind as i didnt feel the need to rush for them that morning.

My Hubby has said it to me a couple of times, but don't get me wrong, i know HE wasn't saying it to be horrible or anything and he was simply askin because maybe i had snapped at him or he could see i was getting upset, and he is just as worried as me incase i slip back to how i was. But when it happens you don't really see it like that at the time and feel totally crushed.

But please be warned... There ARE people out there who will say it to have a dig at you and to just be pure nasty and you know for a fact that the people who DO this could not possibly have suffered with Pnd themselves and know absolutly F*** All about it either (But they act as tho they they have a degree in it and know it all) Because if they did they WOULD NOT DO IT.

I would not dream of saying something like that to anyone who is suffering from ANY kind of depression (not just Pnd) because i know first hand how much it hurts and how that one snide comment can be deeply upsetting...

It really winds me up.....as you can probably tell...
