Hi there! :hugs:
I've struggled with depression in the past, however since 2008, I've been taking medication, and had some CBT, which has been really helpful to me.
Although, lately I feel like I am on a slide, and finding things quite tough.
Recently, I went to see a neurologist, because I've been having 'funny turns' at work, blurry vision and strange head feelings etc. I'm having some tests done at the moment, and been told not to drive. I surrendered my driving licence, and have felt low about it as driving has been a real boost to my spirits (although I completely understand why I've been advised to stop driving).
I really miss driving, and the ease it gave me in getting to work. Its now a nightmare! What was a 10 minute drive is now nearly 2 hours commute in the morning, and the same in the evening, involving trains, buses and over a mile walking each way :wacko: I'm so tired all the time, which I think is probably contributing to how I am feeling at the moment. I'm also taking some new medication from the neurologist (as well as my anti depressants), and having uncomfortable side effects :blush:
Its like a mixture of circumstances have cropped up and I've crashed into them and don't know how to get through :unsure: I'm going on holiday in a week, so I keep looking forward to that, but I'm so exhausted all the time I can't seem to think straight :blush:
