Hi. I'm 46. I have had depression most of my adult life. It has always been controlled with meds,exercise and the odd therapy sessions. I've always managed to keep on a level and still enjoy doing things in life. Lately I've been swinging from manic highs to the lowest of lows. Its exhausting. And gets to the point where I would rather sleep all day than face it. I've also started to suffer general anxiety. It was always only social before.
I've been written off work several times since January. My work have been brilliant. Really supportive.
I went back to the docs today as I just feel dead inside. I feel no joy. I see no colours. I look forward to nothing anymore. Not even my days off.
I just wanted to say hi.
