Hello
I know that feeling where everything feels like it is to much and we cannot cope one of the worst feelings I think there is but I try to think this is a blip it will pass and mostly they do even though sometimes we need that little reassurance and help to make it happen
You have done the right thing , asking to increase your meds if you feel they are not working and getting checked over both these things should give you peace of mind and help you to get through this
Let us know how you get on x
Hello MarkIm very sorry you have to go through all of that at your age. You may think that there isn’t much you can do to deal with your problems but there is. I suffer from depression as well, and in my off time I just like to take walks, or drives to just calm down for a little bit. And if you still have overthinking problems, try just remembering who you are, and what you enjoy, recite that to yourself. Just try to remember the good in your life, it may be easier said than done, but it will all be worth it in the end. Try contacting your physiologist about changing your medication, maybe the citalopram might be causing those issues. Try going through different medications, and with each one, before you go onto it, get in a good mindset. Think to yourself that this medication will help you. And make your life more bearable and pleasing
I really do hope you start to feel better. Depression, and/or anxiety can sometimes be a very difficult feat to tackle. But it will be overcame.
Spend one hour walking each morning in nature👍....give it 3 weeks..changes will occur
