Hello
wonderered if anyone else has had similar experience. Have had depression for 4 months now as a culmination of anxiety problems over many years. It's the depression that gets me down! the anxiety I can cope with. Have taken citalopram - worked for a little while then crisis with daughter (14) knocked me off track, changed to Mirtazapine 5 weeks ago - thought I had cracked it for a week felt fab - now odd Ok days but spend most of my days profoundly sad and crying. Beginning to believe this will never pass, want to be Ok for Xmas, convinced I will never be OK again. Trying all the advice - exercise, hobbies but nothing pushes the black cloud far away - reach for the valium when it all gets too much. Fell down stairs on purpose this week - just to feel something else. Fed up of being told to give it time - how much time does it need? Not sure how much longer I can do this - having CBT - seems to make me worse - same old same old - do stuff, keep going you will start to feel better - well I don't
