I know this sounds a bit self indulgent but I wanted a bit of a moan, and wonder if anyone else is in this situation?
I suffer from the dual problems of anxiety / depression and migraines / headaches, though I know there are medical links between depression and migraines due to links with the lack of seratonin.
Anyway to cut a long story short I have been on medication most of my life for the depression. I have just managed to taper off my last medication, Efexor and have now come off them completely as they were making me feel like a zombie (useful when working with politicians as I do!):wacko: . But I am now on very strong drugs to stop my migraines. I was on something called Epilim, it is in fact an anti epilepsy drug, but is used to treat migraine, but it made my hair come out in clumps :nonono: so I had to stop it. The doctor has now put me on an equally hard drug called Topiramate, which I have to get into my system. As you can imagine I feel like crap. I have a 6 year old son and a job in politics / media.
Right, at the moment my husband is acting like a right tool. :wacko: A total plonker. Aggressive, argumentative, shouting, screaming, blaming me for everything and it is totally wearing me down and making me tearful. :weep:
He is winding up one of the companies he owns so I think this is causing him stress, but the problem is he is one of these people who won't tell me what's happening, or speak about it at all, he would rather shout and scream. Our son is picking up on this as today he said to me "Mummy I need to pack a bag as I might have to leave home because I hate daddy shouting." :weep: I would not tell his father this as he would accuse me of making it up and it would cause another fight.
His dad is not always like this, but he has these black moods. He was ill treated by his mother when he was a child and I think this comes out now and again.
Anyway this is half a 'I need hugs' post (thanks to my job and the fact that I have suffered depression so bad I don't really have that many close friends to help) and half a post asking what do others do when they have partners who don't understand and who get agressive with them?
Thanks for listening.
