Anxiety & Depression Hell..*TRIGGERS*

[SA89]

Glad you're seeing a counsellor again soon, but I really think you need to go back and see your Dr..... Tell them what you are telling us.

My mum keeps sayin the same thing. What more can a doctor do though than feed me pills like a guinea pig?. The 1st couple week off Setraline I felt great but that period was in conjunction with the training course at my work provider.

I think the reason I feel so low now is caus they're completely out of my system & I'm not having that social interaction that I was getting from the training. I don't want to go back on pills though. I'm a couple month off them now & I don't wanna give in caus they're not natural & make me tired. I'd rather give meditation a try & to be more sociable because loneliness is at the very root of my depression.

I agree with Suzi, it breaks my heart that you were doing so well but now are struggling. Did you look at that link Suzi showed you?

This year has been positive in regards to progressing into social care. In addition to my support work with a trust, I was successful the other day in my interview for another care provider. That'll be full time & can work it round my other support role.

But ye, in regards to my wellbeing, its been very much up & down. The past month I've felt completely "flat" & again it stems from being a social recluse. If I'm workin full time then that will distract me somewhat from my inner thoughts. I worry though that it'll deprive me of even less social opportunities caus I'll be so busy. Oh & ye I looked at the link. I think its emotional abuse but only when he's had a drink which isn't often. Most days we stay out of each others ways. Again sorry for the wall of text, I need to be more concise! .

Don’t worry about being concise, it’s more important that you have someone to talk to. You need to do what’s right for you but sometimes it’s worth thinking about ADs as something that helps support you while you work out what needs to change in your life itms
