I have been on anti depressants for 15yrs and my dr never talks about my depression,tried to a couple of times but just get told if your ok then that's fine,that's why I try and sort myself out!! I'm very hard on myself as I feel I am a failure if I can't control my thoughts!!! That's why I don't talk to many ppl about it,even my sons don't understand how I feel.the past year and a half has been difficult with losing my mum and mother in-law, my husband having a heart attack,2 minor ops and moving house and I think now I have taken early retirement I can't cope with being at home and not working and my husband being at home!! I really do need a better night routine as I am often on my iPad til late.
I'm gonna try tonight to relax and breathe.
Thanks everyone

Could you speak to a different doctor? Could you ring for an appointment and explain you need to see someone who specialises in mental health? It’s never right for your concerns to be brushed under the carpet like that

Hi, I have just joined this website today. Feeling very low and awaiting therapy. Your husband sounds much like mine, no understanding or empathy. I have tried to get him to watch some You Tube videos, but so far he hasn't. I too have been on antidepressants for many many years, worked through it, but gave up two years ago due to the stress. Enjoyed being at home and looking after grandchildren at first, but just before Christmas, this depression came on again despite the meds. Husband says I need a new job, he still works, but I can't contemplate the thought of going through interviews. Saw GP again last week and he has referred me to see a therapist, but the wait is probably about two months. So hard, isn't it. I don't really leave the house now and don't see anyone all day long. Sending big hugs.
