hi, im molly and im 24.

i feel as though i have suffered from depression/anxiety for a long time looking back. it came to a head about 3 months ago when i just felt so low as if i wasn't worth anything and as though i couldn't cope with anything including going to work and day to day tasks. i just wanted to be left alone to sleep. i was also crying all the time, bursting into tears over tiny things. i didnt want to talk to anyone as i felt embarrassed.

my boyfriend persuaded me to go to the doctors, my gp prescribed me citalopram for depression. when she increased the dose it helped at first but then i started to have uncontrolled panic and anxiety. the gp has increased the citalopram again to 30mg and i am waiting for a counselling/CBT appointments.
i have been off work for a few weeks and im currently doing a phased return with reduced hours.

i found this site from browsing on google. i hope i will be able to get advice, share experiences and find ppl to talk openlyto. also hoping to share with and help others if i can.
