Have just joined as I have a lot problems but find a lot of my friends don't understand.
I have a wonderful husband who listens and gives me a lot of comfort when times are hard, so am lucky I have support at home.
I have 4 lovely kids who are always there with hugs.
I have had depression on and off for most of my life (quite bad a long while ago) but have coped very well for the past few years and managed to "shake off" things (have had the odd panic attack though).
However, a wonderful relative of mine who I am very close to, is dying and has got days/weeks to live and I am one of her main carers. I have kept it together for the past few months but am crying every day and am having terrible health problems (missed heartbeats, breathlessness, dizziness) due to anxiety.
Also, my husband has recently lost his job and so an extra burden to my anxiety :weep:
I saw a doctor today and he prescribed citalopram and haven't took one yet as I don't think I can cope with the side effects. I had terrible ones with prozac and vowed I'd never take another antidepresent.
I also suffer terrible phobias, anxiety and comfort eat which doesn't help.
Anyway, thats enough of me. Hope I can find some lovely people who can understand me. I am a good listener too :) xxx
