Hello there,
My name's Emma and I was finally (after admitting defeat after 6 1/2 years) diagnosed with depression as well as suffering from high levels of anxiety four weeks ago.
I found this website via Google whilst searching for information on Citalopram.
What a great find so far.
It's been an unpleasant few years, after a traumatic event it destroyed me as a person, wife, mother and friend.
Putting on the brave face and the "mask" as I call it has finally taken it's toll.
To a point where I had to admit to my G.P as I was on the verge of throwing myself off a very tall building.
I am somewhat relieved for doing so although things mentally are rather upsy/downsy.
It's a case of taking each day as it comes.
I struggle mostly in the evenings, this is when I tend to withdraw into myself and become filled with the urges of self harm.
I have started a website too, writing down and typing up my on my progress.
It helps in regards to the journey of hopefully getting though this dark stage in life.
Well... One can only hope.
I look forward to reading up and hopefully contributing to the forum as much as I can.
But please bare with me, I am quite nervous and it does take some time for things to register in the mind before the light switch comes on and I get it!
Quite embarrassing at times. :blush::blush::blush::blush:
Kindest Regards
Emma xx
