Hi all
I am new to this site and have never been on anything like this before.
I'm 27 and have suffered from anxiety and depression for around 11 years. About a year ago I had a really bad turn which resulted in me being off work for 7 months and then losing my job. Eventually I started to feel slightly better around August and started a new job, sadly this only last a few weeks as I couldn't cope. I went back to the doctors and had my medication increased, I have tried various medications and acupuncture this year which I didn't feel helped. I tried counselling around 6 years ago but didn't feel like that helped either. Anyway with the support of my partner I decided to start college and do something that I really want to do and focus on that, everything was going great and I finally felt like my life was on the right track, but recently I've had the dread creeping in again which has resulted in me not going to my course. I feel like I can't leave the house, I feel down and worried and sick. I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't feel like my doctor is very helpful (I've seen various fez) I feel like this is it for me now, I'm never going to feel 'normal' again. I also have a 5 year old daughter who is my world, and feel like I am going to drag her down with me because I know she can sense that something is wrong.
Sorry for waffling on, I just don't know what to do or where to turn
Lauren
