Hi there,
I'm a 33 year old female from Sydney, Australia I have suffered from depression & Anxiety for the last 10 years. I used to have a wonderful job for a great company and this days I can't even get out of the house.
I have taken all different medications and I have tried counseling, meditation and all kinds of alternative medicine in order to help me, with no success. So last year (about 6 months ago) I decided to stop taking all medication all together even though my doctor advised me against it.
The first few weeks a felt really bad as I was told the medicine needed to get out of my system. Then I thought I was doing much better but my partner has told me she has noticed a great change in me! when I asked her what it was she said that I was short tempered, argumentative and irrational. At first I did not believe her but lately things are really getting to me, my thoughts race at night and I feel everything is getting out of control.
Another thing I have noticed is a have lost my appetite and cry everyday I don't want to burden my partner as she has her own issues to deal with.
I don't want to feel this way but I don't think I can handle any more medicine.
Is there any one one that can maybe help me as I feel I'm spiraling out of control.... Thanks :weep:
