Hi,

I was recently diagnosed with depression and given sertraline as medication from my GP. I can pin point exactly when my problems started. It was my birthday and I was with my partner when suddenly a family members face flashed into my head. I obsessed over that thought and now, every time I try and picture my partner I see that family member instead and it is soul destroying. My relationship is the best it痴 ever been, and I知 terrified I値l never get back what I felt. I知 just looking for support and someone to talk to who knows how I feel and I can offer advice. I知 trying CBT and self help books. My employer has a fantastic mental health service so I知 really lucky in that respect.

Welcome to NMP; Lmal :)

Don't give up on CBT - it will help if you give it a chance.

Take care.
