Hi.. I have recently joined and I'm currently looking through the site at everyones comments and posts and it is re-assuring to see we are not alone. It's a horrible thing to go through and difficult to explain unless you are going through it, but one good thing is by admitting we need help & taking action to fix it, is already a big step in itself to getting better!
I was prescribed 50mg setraline by my doctor 4 weeks ago.. so I'm just working my way through these and trying to get back to my normal state of mind and be the happy outgoing person I used to be. I have good and bad days, up & downs... it's difficult but i'm trying. I did experience a tough couple of weeks when I started the tabs, but i read it can take up to 8 weeks for them to fully kick in to your system..
I have been feeling 'not right' for some time now and I haven't yet worked out what has triggered it.. I think it's been a number of things from a really bad previous relationship and having to move cities to a new place where I have no friends or a social life or have the normal routine I used to have on a day-to-day basis. Also having to be the backbone for family members who are going through depression & other issues, I think it has just knocked me and had an effect on me? My confidence & self-esteem has gone, I binge eat/comfort eat, cry for nothing, feel aggressive, worthless, crazy, like the only person in the world who feels like this. I think bad things are going to happen to me and everyone and I worry and stress about it. I have convinced myself I am ill with something as I have aches and pains some days and headpains/cramps, etc. Madness!!
I haven't been able to tell my partner i am on anti-d's as I fear he'll throw it back in my face and I just want to get through this dark period myself without anyone making me feel bad or silly for it and without the whole world knowing and judging me.
Sorry for the boring novel but it's good to get it all out and off my chest!
