Names Joanne, I'm 24, recently married living in Blackpool UK. I have only just been diagnosed with depression last week. This is the first time in my life I've ever had a mental illness and its very scary. The series of unlucky events started 2 years ago. I am a pretty strong person so the idea of me having depression felt silly and turned to cannabis to calm me down and dull some of the disturbing thoughts I was having. Stupid, naive me, didn't realize this drug was making me worse. I finally decided to go to the doctor when I started thinking about death and dying on a daily basis. This was last week. I have a real problem with anger and have no confidence so she prescribed me Oxazepan and Citalopram 10mg.
I stopped my cannabis use almost immediately after the visit to the doctor and took my first Cit pill on the Saturday just past and I am STILL feeling the side effects of one tablet and haven't took another since.
I'm glad I've found this forum as everyone seems to be very friendly and even just reading a few threads, I feel like I can get back to my old self and won't get sectioned, or get worse.
