Hi purdy

I can understand you fear of going on meds , I have a fear of meds in general

Seems you have been having a few things happening & sorry about your losses , that can be very hard to deal with in its self

Do you have to go on meds , if GP feels its the best , maybe worth a try , but if you really dont want to take them you can say no

If you do go on them , come on here & talk if you feel fearful , lots of people have had the same fear so will no where you are coming from

Try & stay in the day & not think to far in front , that can help

Maybe counselling might be something to ask about , you might have had some before , but again lots are on their 2nd , 3rd , even more attempts at counselling

Hope everything goes ok

Love

Hi whywhy7,

Thanks for your reply, been to doctors and have been given Sertraline 50mg once a day, just took my first one I hope they help! I needed to take medication have tried herbal remedy's but they don't seem to be working for me this time. I just feel like crying all the time it's so embarrassing, but just can't help it. I am going to contact Mind to see if I can have some counselling. Best Wishes, Purdy xxx

Hi Purdy

You have done well , yes the Sertraline should work , takes a few weeks I believe , so hang in there with them

Dont feel embarrassed about crying , its part of anxiety , nothing to feel emarrassed over

Good for you as well looking into counselling , I wish you look & let us no how you go on

Hi purdy

Sometimes we need meds to prop us up and help us through difficult patches. I have been on meds in the past but counselling years ago was rubbish but I've combined meds with therapy this time and I'm in a much better place. I would definitely seek counselling or therapy and if you need to cry then cry... Our emotions are there to protect us and bottling them up makes us ill. Take care and keep talking on here as lots of people understand love eve x
