Thats depression for you!I was like that not so long ago wishing for a little pill that i could take to make all these feelings stop what meds are you on and how long have you been on them?I do know medicine alone wont make much difference(well it never for me anyhow)I have been on meds and seeing a psychologist since June and can honestly say im only just now seeing results now.The changes have to start with you the less you do the less you want to do.It aint easy but you were put here for a reason so make the most of it :)Gabbi.
Hi Sharon i hope going back on the Seroquel helps you i hate feeling so down as im sure everyone here does i have done some suprising things the past 2 days i took my daughter into a shop to get a bday present for my niece BY MYSELF :)Then i took my son to the supermarket to get a couple of things BY MYSELF :)Then today i went and had a look at a house with my kids no husband needed it has boosted my confidence bigtime.I am going to my parents house for the weekend so next week we can work out the time difference and get on the CBT buddies at the moment its 4:10pm so i will see what time comes up when i post and work it out from there ok.Be strong you can get through this tough time ok.Take care.Gabbi.
Hi Kat thats ok im glad i could help.Its so much easier to deal with this sort of thing with support .Im glad you told your husband and hes being supportive sounds like you are on the right track to recovery.As for the look in your husbands face maybe he was just suprised perhaps because he didnt see the signs something along those lines maybe.I dont have any family support my husband is half my problem and the only person i really open up to is my psychologist so i know how lonely it can be.Dont feel bad because you need to take meds they are there for a reason but make sure your doctor knows about you taking the st johns wort cause i have heard it can be harmful to take them together.Anytime you need a chat im here ok.Gabbi.
Hi Sharon that medication side effect sounds awful how long till you see your psychiatrist?Sounds very painful for you hopefully there is something else that you can take instead.I have fallen into the hole again i was going so well and my husband and i had a huge fight for an hour and a half he ranted and raved at me telling me how i dont appreciate him and the hours he puts in at work is all for our future and that i am a problem because he has to 'babysit' our kids when i go to my therapist and doctors because he should be at work not taking time out for me.I feel like everything is such a hassle i dont even want to get out of bed just wish i could sleep the days away then wake up all better.I hate living like this its so hard.sorry for being so negative just dont feel very positive at the moment.I told my mum on the weekend i was only with him because of the kids and she told me 'rubbish nobody does that anymore' and that was that she just dismissed me like that.I feel so alone.You dont sound vain to me about your weight i have been battling anorexia for 10 years i have put on 11 kilos since january im up to 53kg at 170 cms tall i know im underweight but i still starve myself i have only had 1 cup of tea and a low fat muffin bar today its like i punish myself for everything else thats going on in my life.Sorry i didnt have any good news to tell you today.I hope you are feeling better.Gabbi.
Amy i started out on 50mg of zoloft and have had to increase a couple of times im on 150mg at the moment but it does take a few weeks to start working properly so give it a bit longer and if your still not feeling better i would see your doctor and let them know you arnt feeling any better.Gabbi.
Hi there i was in a physically abusive relaionship many years ago and leaving was the best thing i ever did although it wasnt easy i had a 2yr old but i knew i had to leave or he would have ended up killing me and my son im sure of that.Now im in an emotinally abusive relatinship and am trying to leave but i just cant bring myself to do it yet we have split up once before but i took him back because of pressure from my family and i think thats the only reason im still with him now because i dont want my family to be dissapointed in me for being such a failure.I definately reccomend some form of counselling for the both of you to go to together.Goodluck with your situation.Gabbi.
Hi Kat you are dealing with a lot of things in your life its a tough situation but you are a strong person i have faith in you,you have dealt with so much already i know what its like to have a breakdown in front of your husband i have done that on several occasions i also got very suspicious of my husband when i was at a low he couldnt even go to the shop without me accusing him of cheating on me my doctor told me thats a normal feeling with depression so try not to worry about it too much even though i know thats a hard ask if you think in terms of if your husband left you while you were feeling down would you really want to be with a person like that?Listen to me i wish i could take my own advice my life is a disaster zone but yet i can help others go figure ;)Talk with your husband thats all you can do my husband and i have little communication(on his behalf) so i know thats not the path you want to travel.Talk talk talk.Take care.Gabbi.
