Hello everyone, and I'm glad to have found this forum.
I've suffered from depression and most likely anxiety as well quite possibly since childhood and definitely since early adulthood. I didn't even realise that the negative self thoughts I was having were anxiety until my last bout ... which was an interesting learning curve!
This time the thoughts are back, I can function at work but have been struggling out of work. I'm taking antidepressants (Citalopram) for the first time in many many years so one of the main reasons I'm here for is to get feedback from users on the medication.
At the moment, because I can mostly function, I tend to think I'm a fraud and that people would think that I'm faking it ... but am looking forwards to learning more on how to deal with what's going on and how to move forwards, and maybe support others too.
And my user name ... we have a lovely new front door with bevelled glass, and at certainly times of the year, and the day, the light comes through the window and makes rainbows across the room. My aim is to feel more joy at the house rainbows again :)
Kindest regards
