It's complicated... adoption and other issues

[Bantam]

Hello Lovely People

My real name in Pol and I'm a northern expat. I'm new to this forum though have been browsing it for help for years! I'm currently in the process of reducing my citalopram dose, hence coming on here for a bit of reassurance. I have a bit of a complicated history - have always suffered a bit with anxiety/depression, but came close to a breakdown in 2013 when a brother I didn't know I had tracked me down - I was adopted as a baby and this opened up a whole can of worms where I found out things I wishes I hadn't about my background. 3 years on I'm in a job I love, happily married and feeling very settled, but it's been a long journey! (There is hope, folks!)

Anyway, hello, and have an awesome day. :yahoo:

Thanks for the welcome! I am struggling a little reducing the citalopram tbh. I work with students and am normally incredibly patient, but yesterday (after repeating the same thing to one of my students 4 times!) I snapped at her and felt pretty bad about this. I have a headache all the time and I think it's put me on a bit of a short fuse. I'm keen to know if this is temporary, and when I can expect it to level out again...:wacko:
