[Heavychunky1]

Well after things started to settle down , the whole depression and mood swings have caused a strain on relationship. My doctor has me in for refeeal for integrative car and an assesment to rule out any variations of bi pola " manic physcotic depressive disorder. Other note on this is relationship has broken down and I am now currently homeless living in a hostel , with not very much help from homeless teams , 3 weeks and counting. Things surely have got to get better I'd hope . I miss my little 16 month old dearly. But already have in writting from a lawyer access rights which both myself and ex partner went and done , and I still have feelings and care about her which I don't think is a bad thing , their is no bad feeling from my part and it amicable between us

Hi HC, I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. In any situation a break up can be life shattering. With Enc. you could be in danger of PTSD. I can't imagine what your life is like amongst the hostel dwellers. I hope your doctor is up to the task of helping you. I'm on meds for anxiety, depression and panic attacks - in addition to all the usual Enc. meds. As long as nothing else pops up I seem to hold a steady course. Some sort of physical exercise may be a good mood changer, walking, swimming, cycling etc. All the best, G2
