Hello everyone, I have just joined this site hoping to talk to some people in a similar situation to me.
I got my first bout of anxiety and depression just over 3 years ago when I seperated from my husband and my father died. I eventually went onto antidepressants and with time got better. I struggle now with guilt over the breakup of my marriage and this seems to trigger the anxiety/depression coming back. It is like a switch being flicked and will literally bring me down overnight. I have been fighting this last one for about 5 weeks, tried not to go the antidepressant route but finally gave up this week and have started on them again together with counselling.
The anxiety kicks in a couple of minutes after waking and then fades and leaves me feeling very, very low with no zest for life. I hate feeling like this, I do hope that it will go away soon.
