I emailed my GP surgery last night to arrange a telephone consultation. The last few days have been hard and I had a tearful night last night, which made me think I need an appointment.

Sorry that you've been struggling, but it's really positive that you've contacted your GP lovely. Do you want to talk about why you have been struggling?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Well done for getting that appointment, Pixie. Has there been any specific that’s triggered this?
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I don't know to be honest, one minute I'm watching something and the next I've literally just burst into tears from no where. I do have some unresolved issues and was advised by my dr to self refer for counselling but I haven't been able to make that step yet. Plus my partner isn't being very supportive of me on an anti depressant and wants me to come off them (but he doesn't know any of these past issues)
Would you be able to talk to your partner? Love, please sort out counselling - ADs can’t do everything and, if you’re struggling with unresolved issues, those need to be resolved….

Ads can help your symptoms while you wait for therapy. Definitely self refer as soon as you can.
Why doesn't he want you to be taking ADs?

I don't want to tell my other half anything....it's such a hard situation. He doesn't want me on them because he says i dont need them and the longer I'm on them, the harder it will be to stop :/
How long have you been together? Can I ask why you don't want to tell him what's going on? Lovely, you deserve the support of those around you. How long have you been on the meds? What dose? When did you last speak to your Dr about how things are?

We've been together 7 years. I just don't want him to know. I don't want anyone to know. I have some support from people online in groups like this. If I tell him about my past, I think it would ruin things. I started taking them on 15th July...started on 25mg then was upped to 50mg on the 21st and the 21st is the last time I spoke to him
Have a telephone consultation booked but it's not until the 7th Oct and I might even have to rearrange that as it clashes with the school run
I feel like it's never going to be resolved. I don't want to talk to anyone about it because I don't want any finding anything out. Especially my parents....imagine how they'd feel if I told them I was abused by my 2 brothers. 2 brothers who I still see on occasion. I feel stuck
