hi

my names scott im 28 and have been suffering with depression and intrucive thoughts. Ive been really struggeling to deal with this and only found this site by acident. After having a little look at some of the posts it made me feel alot better about myself and made me feel not alone. At first i couldnt stop breaking down and had a couple off horrible thoughts.I thought i was just being silly at first and just need d to pick myself up. but i couldn't,, the thoughts got worse the more i tried not to think, it felt like i was falling down a black hole.I really needed to talk to someone(but how can you say some of these things) so i turned to my mum. After talking to my mum and she was worried and told me i really should go see the doctor.I didnt want to go as thought i was going to be taken away from my family. got put on prozac witch turned me upside down. i couldnt stop crying, thought my heart was going to pop out of my chest. my mind felt like it was out of control and i couldn't put the brakes on. went back to the doctors and they changed my medication to citelopram. this helped calm me down but was really struggeling with some horrible thoughts that i couldn't even say to anyone. the thoughts made me want to just end my life. but i didnt want to as have a beautiful wife and 2 great kids. ive had some cbt and it really helped but i still have really down days for no reason.wanted to know how other people deal with the same thing?

Hi scott!

You are not alone with these thoughts- i have them too and like you with your family, everything to live for.

If you suffer from depression, try out the following UK site. It is a daily log of your feelings and takes about 2 minutes a day.

It has really helped me. I hope you try it and reply to me with your feedback.

Scott you are not alone. Anxiety and depression cause all sorts of obsessive/strange thoughts. Belive me they will pass, given time and some help from supportive people.
