Feel soooo rubbish :(

Hey guys. i have been on Mirtazapine for about 4 months now, for anxiety and depression. They seem to be really helping me, have calmed down so so much. Just the very few times i go on a real downer and don't want to leave the house. One little thing can just trigger off my mood. My boyfriend doesn't help (even though he has suffered with depression in the past!) I feel like i am on my own sometimes, and in a VERY dark place, no one understands what i am going through. Or even if they do, they don't seem to want to listen! Depression is an awful illness and no matter how hard we try to control it, we just don't succeed at times. How do other people who take Mirtazapine feel? Need someone else in my situation

I also take Mirtazapine for anxiety and depression this has helped me be calm enough for weekly CBT Therapy sessions which are helping but are very emotionally draining, but well worth the effort to see how far I have come from the brink of suicide in July this year

i will definately have to try CBT. i was meant to go a while back but thought i was ok. do i have to go through my doctor for CBT?

Yes my Doctor referred me to a CBT Therapist through the IAPT service, although there was a bit of a wait. You can self refer for computer CBT which I tried first but needed much more intensity Therapy.
