After struggling with undiagnosed social phobia most of my life, having several severe episodes of depression within five years and finally being hospitalised with psychotic symptoms I am now well into remission. Life is great, I'm happy to be here and getting on with my life.

Wedding Bells!
I am officially engaged to be married! The date is set for the summer and plans are starting to fall into place.
Work sucks
Gosh I feel blue. Work is really getting on top of me. They hired me two years ago as an expert in my field but they do not listen to anything I have to say. Then when it all goes pear shaped I have to pick up the pieces. All this company seems to want is my CV on their files so they can win business but when it comes to doing the work, they don't listen to anything I have to say. I need to get out of this place as it is depressing me.
I had a telephone interview for a new job last Friday, they said they liked me and wanted to see me for a face to face interview. I am waiting for the phone call to arrange a time. Unfortunately, even if this does work out, I am on three months notice. I am hoping they will let me go earlier if I get it.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
They just rang back, I'm definitely through to stage two and they will have me in for a face to face interview next week.

Happy Happy Happy!!!!!
I have never been this happy and excited in my whole life! Mr. R. and I are getting a house together, a big house with three double bedrooms and a garden. I am so SO excited.
We have also been talking about getting some kittens to live with us and maybe (if I am not too old) we may grow a little person. There has even been talk of rings and ceremonies. I am so excited I can hardly control myself!!
I have just visited my GP to discuss how the hand over to the new GP will work and I have stocked up on medication just in-case my records take sometime to go through and/or the new practice has a waiting list. I mentioned we may try for a baby which has been worrying me (although I want to do it!) and she even said as I have been well for a long time I can consider reducing the sertraline right down from 200mg a day to just 50mg a day. I'm not doing it just yet but was told to discuss it with my new GP.
Everything is perfect at the moment, I can't believe how lucky I am.

Sleeping Patterns
One reason I have been thinking about which may be why I am a little down is my sleep patterns. Does anyone know anything about sleeping too much. Also what about diet and exercise can that help?
I go to bed each night between 9:30pm and 10:00pm and wake up around 8:00am to 8:30am. I get at least 10.5 hours sleep each night. That would be manageable and not a long way outside the normal range apart from I rarely stir in the night and I have a lot of trouble getting up in the mornings. I spend most of the working day yawning and can't wait to get back home for a nap. If I go and lay on my bed I can be asleep in less than 5 minutes.
It is really hard to cope with as I do little more than work and sleep monday to friday leaving the weekend full of household chores. Mr R would like to go out more in the week but I just can't manage it, it leads to me oversleeping for work. Once I get behind on the housework and laundry I start feeling low, I eat junk and want to sleep more. It all gets into a viscous downward spiral which I desperately need to break!
Oh where to start. I think I'll go for a short walk before bed as the evenings are lighter and I want to try staying up a little later tonight to see if I am any better tomorrow.
