Hopeless

Feeling very down, just want to curl up and cry. When will this feeling subside! I've been on flouxitine for almost a week and feel awful. I'm overthinking about my relationship again and whenever I see a shred of light I can't help convincing myself it's not real and I'm back feeling down again.

Hi there Samy patience is essential with Depression, getting well is a long slow

Process so it's a bit unrealistic to expect to be jumping over the moon after

A week on antidepressants. They take at least 2 to 3 weeks to feel better.

Hello Samy,

I am sorry that you are feeling like this.

As you know all drugs take a while to start to work for you, so I think that only a tablet for such time is being a wee bit premature.

In the meantime I suggest that you go into Youtube Search for: Hypnotherapy Ultimately Deep sleep Hypnosis Relaxation & Confidence

I run a blog and I advised everybody including my followers to listen to this

1 Whilst lying down on your bed

2 If possible in a darkened room

3 With headphones on, so that you do not hear outside noises

4 With your Smartphone or iPad face down (so that you not the screen)

I wish you well

Take care

Richard

Hello again Samy. You'll feel like this for a while longer until the flouxitine works. If it has n't worked in a month to 5 weeks ,back to the GP and he'll probably try you on something else . Finding the right pill is a bit of a hit and miss job I'm afraid but I hope the fluoxitine does work.

But , until it works , or something else works you have to be brave , not feel sorry for yourself , or give in. Your own reserves and strength are more important than the pills and will pull you through this. To a lot of us on this site a few weeks is nothing. That probably does n't make you feel better but you have to give it time.

There is n't an overnight cure but you'll make it OK, we all do, although the first time that seems hard to believe . And don't forget to tell us when you're feeling great again.

You don't have to invite us all to the wedding.

Hello Samy

Reading you past threads you are still very young, you are living with your partner with all the concerns people have when they close the doors on their earlier life.

You will be worrying if the relationship fails and what would happen if this happened.

You have been taking medication now for one week, I would advise that you give then four weeks before you put them down as a bad job. Sometimes your GP may change your drug several times before they will find the right one.

Are you having problems within the relationship, or is it just general worry??.

When I was seventeen I was engaged and was as good as living with my first Partner

In that time in the sixties it was more problematic and relationships were much more a problem for couples and Land Lord on top of that with being so young we were feeling our way and both studying further education. We still had to pay rent and food and were suffering family negative attitudes, so the relationship was going through a great deal of stress. So I can understand the situation you must be finding so very hard as you may be feeling that you have burnt your bridges

We never know a person until you lock the door for the first time and living with someone presents all these different emotions. You may also be feeling daunted running your new address

Live your life day by day, if you need to chat there are many nice people to chat to here.

Your new life will settle eventually, you are on a learning curve it will take time to get the hang of it. I am sixty five and still learning, mind do not tell my wife that

Yes sometimes my low spells and anxiety attacks are caused by nothing, come on out of the blue and sometimes they come on as I think (more accurately , overthink) my relationship. There is nothing wrong with my relationship, without being big headed, it's perfect and makes me very happy. I tend to over think how I'm meant to feel and also scared of not having it. I'm also very board justnow, my partner has a full time job and I am still at uni, I have now been off for 4 months with very little to do.

Glad your relationship is whole, if that is the case why have you come on this site ?

You say boredom, have you come on this place because you are bored ??.

Will you loose this boredom when you are back at UNI ???

It is a bit rough if you have come here to treat boredom I would recommend you go for a walk or visit a site that can serve your needs more fully. We are here for people who are not very well and need help. Glad to say I am not bored and can use my time fully, thank you

If you have periods of Anxiety and depression, that is why we are here to help. Bordom is another condition, one that we do not deal with here, sorry

Hi Samy

Boredom is often what people feel when they close off from feelings and become unsure what life is all about, so I am wondering whether that is what you are feeling?
