Sweetheart you're not alone. Sorry you feel so down, sounds like you've been so strong for a long time and it's all built up. I don't know enough about anti-ds but maybe it's worth a chat with your doc to see if there's another type you can try? I'm sure I speak for loads of people on this forum when I say we're all here for you if you want to let off some steam xxx

I agree with sazzie206 you are never alone and always have us. Can u not speak to friends or family about your feeling? It would really help you. Maybe see your gp and get new tablets as maybe these ones you r on r not working all the best, remember u r not alone x

As above. You really are not alone. My Dr won't change my medication whilst I am so low, but I have been referred for 'Time to Talk' counselling. It is hard to reach out when you are feeling so low, but you have to us, so well done for taking the first step x

As the previous comments have said, you are not alone. Just come on here and "talk" to us, we know exactly how you feel because we are feeling like that also.

Take care.

HI Vicky, I know well how you feel, Depression is hard, and its often two steps forward and one back. You are not alone now, you have us to chat too, at least you took the first step and thats something. Tomorrow take one more step, could you talk to your GP and tell him what you told us. Sometimes talking is great too, Be good to yourself and just take each day as it comes.

Hi

It all sounds really sad and hopeless for you at the moment. It takes time for antidepressants to work, have you been on them for long? Obviously a lot of things have happened to you that you find hard to deal with. Do you have anyone you can talk to about them in order to share your pain? If not then I wonder whether telling us here about them would help as I've always found that a helpful process. I do hope you feel a bit better and am thinking of you. Suexx

thanks everyone, i do try and talk to friends but feel i am troubling them with it all there is only 1 or 2 i can openly talk to, my gp has refered me to the mental health and i am on a waiting list, he wont change tablets at the moment. i just feel so so lost i have had so much happen and i know others have to but i just dont know what to do, i dont like th way i feel i am so down emotianal and i cant sleep my head races so much, sometimes i just feel i am not worth it and just want to gie up x

Hello

Sounds like you have been given good advice above so can't say anymore, keep your chin up and you'll get though it, We are all here for you.

Vicky I'm going through the same sort of feelings as you, my GP has me on Sertraline, which took about 4 weeks to kick in and make the panic attacks at least controllable. I have found that I need to distract myself to stop the thoughts racing around and taking me over. TV doesn't work, but a good book actually does - gives me a few hours of escape and release. I've dusted off my library card and am reading about 4 novels a week. It's not perfect but it lets my mind and body rest for a while.

Best wishes - it's a tough old place but the old cliche "take one day at a time" is about the best thing we can do.
