well i have been flitting backwards and forwards through the site and am so pleased i have found somewhere with all the support, information and advice in one place. I suffer from depression and have done most of my life i think, but only diagnosed after suffering pnd 8 years ago, 2 years after my son was born. I had a major depressive time of my life about 4 years ago due to my best friend and mil dying in the same week. I got better but relapsed last year :( I am slowly getting better - going back to study with the ou and making good friends. then bam i found out last week that due to my foggy brain - side effect of the citalopram for me - i had registered on the wrong course !!!!! I was so very cross and hated myself that i stopped the citalopram cold turkey. the discontinuation symptoms kicked in last night big time and both nhs direct and the samaritans told me to go back on them and to speak with my dr on tuesday....
i hate having depression, i hate having to take meds, and i hate the affect all this is having on my two boys :((
i want them to see a strong confident mum so they can be raised well and become strong and confident themselves. instead they have me :(((
thanks for reading.....
