Just waiting now

I finally saw my GP, and he confirmed I was suffering witgh depression. I had 2 options, anti depressants or counselling. After seeing what anti depressants did to my now ex (massive weight gain, more severe mood swings if she forgot to take the pills one day) Self-referral form for counselling completed. Now I wait for the NHS to get back to me and arrange a local psychiatrist.

Definitely go for Talk Therapy.

Then when you feel comfortable enough to take control of your life, get help from the meds.

It can be a long search to find the one that suits your body. Don't wait. Things won't change if you don't change them.

Others experiences are helpful. However, you are unique. Listen to your own body reactions.
