Same here mate. 5 weeks for me now. Still not 100% like, but everyone around me tells me the same thing.
I could hardly get out of bed a month ago.
Just gotta push on through!
I find them a help. Not a total fix but a help.

Yep, you can tell they're not letting you operate at 100%, but they remove some of those self doubts. They're like a lid that stops you bubbling over is the best way I can think of describing them.
I feel back to Dave.

I'm nearly there! Pills won't do all the work though, I have to take the big step of getting back into society myself.
Was talking to someone else about this earlier, you get really anti social when you're depressed, you stay in all weekend. But then at the end of the weekend you're upset and annoyed that you wasted it.
Got to make more of mine now, foundation blocks are starting to be set in place.

Anyone else suffering from problems find themselves worrying about going the match I always feel that something bad is going to happen like passing out or falling ill or something. Obviously for some on here going the match is their break from anxiety, although not at the moment. I used to have a season ticket up until 2015, went to numerous away matches from Blackburn to Lille without much problems by it terrifies me going out sometimes. I don't know why as I said I've been to Chelsea away getting to Goodison at like 5 in the morning for an FA cup game I wasn't nervous. It's mad the way something that used to be something I used to look forward to has become almost a chore. I kind of feel like I'm going to give up going to match for a bit as it's gets me too worried sometimes. Sometimes I just think I'm being a p***y but, I don't whether it's the fear of big crowds or recent poor health issues that scare me but I just makes me feel ridiculous that one of only hobbies I enjoyed has been taken away from me.

I don't know why but I seem to borderline pass out asleep when I go to sleep it's kind of not normal, I don't know whether it's physical or mental. Even small things seem to knacker me out and send me to sleep for long over the recommended time you should stay in bed.

I am like that during the day time. Could be the time you take your medication? I take mine first thing in the morning. I do enjoy a good nap!

That's worth repeating. Like a physical injury, the pills help you manage the pain whilst you exercise the injury back to 100%. Same with the brain, in a lot of circumstances.
Didn't get the chance to ask my would-be out, we were rammed busy and didn't have much time to talk today before she went home. Now she's off most of the week. Going to have to be patient with it sadly, only time I'll see her all of next is for 90 mins next Sunday. Hopefully we're in together on a full day soon and I get my chance to talk to her and then ask without it sounding forced. God I want too, I really do. Even if I was turned down, it would be better than all this stress thinking "what if".
You got a number for her maybe, or Facebook access? Maybe you could ask her casually that way, taking it away from a pressure situation at work? Best case, you'd speed up her saying yes; worst case, she says no, you know where you stand and wouldn't have to deal with it at work.
No unfortunately not mate. I don't have her number and her facebook profile is very private, I think I've found her on there but how do I add her without looking like a creep who's specifically sort her out to add? It would look a bit shady would it not and I don't want that, plus asking someone out online never sounds like a good idea.
It is annoying though, no way of contacting her at all unless we're in work face-to-face which is not as often as I'd like it to be admittedly. That's why I've struggled I think, I just haven't had much time to work with. The time we do spend together we get along good and I've learnt enough about her to feel it's definitely worth a crack. Finally worked up the courage now it's just the logistics getting in the way.

It's what friend requests are for - maybe you're overthinking her reaction? Again, worst case scenario is she just ignores the request. Maybe just use the next few days to hone your approach then - sounds like you've decided to take the plunge, and that sounds like progress based on your earlier posts.
