I've suffered on and off from stress for some years but the CBT I had helped me considerably. Unfortunately, things recently have got much worse because a whole load of stresses have come at once.
I am in business with one other person (and quite a few employees). That other person has been seriously ill on and off for 6 months and is back in hospital now. This is our busy time and there is only so much I can delegate. I have made the decision to sell or merge, once my partner is better (he is retiring age anyway), but that cannot happen overnight and in the meantime I have to cope and the what was controlled (by CBT) depression spiralled downwards very quickly and the Doctor put me on Fluoxetine to help me cope - but did say it might take a couple of weeks (that was 10 days ago). He also gave me some sleeping pills - just a few - but I have tried not using those.
Then, I have also got a lump under my arm. The doctor thinks it is foliculitis but has booked me in for a breast check and ultrasound. I am really, really worried.
I have got to the stage where I can't cry (but am crying inside) and I have all sort of horrible symptoms or side effects - more anxiety, paranoia, tiredness, shaky, hot sweats at night.
Apart from my lovely family, life is just b*****y awful at the moment
