Hi wonderfly,you need to get to your gp pet.Drinking is not the answer.It makes you more anxious and more depressed.Did you just stop the meds or did you reduce it slowly?Please get some help,turning to drink wont help you,it makes you happy at the time but then you sink deeper into depression when it wears off.

Hi Wonderfly

WELOCME TO THE SITE

I am sooo sorry to hear how you are feeling but believe me drink is not the answer, you may feel happy at first, but then you need more and more to keep that happy going.

Please wonderfly, go back to your GP and ask for help. This site is a great place to be, there are lots of nice people here who will help and support you.

First steps for overcoming Panic and Anxiety

TAKE CARE

Hi there wonderfly
What a really nice name!!
Having a cry is fine but as Ellen says watch out for the booze...it is a depressant so it will not help.....the lift it gives is very short term and will not help you.

Stopping meds straight away is also not to good for you as your body needs time to adjust.

There is loads of help, advice and most importantly support in here. People will look out for you, albeit virtually but knowing someone is listening and caring is pretty powerful stuff.

You need to get back to your GP and look for some referral for extra help.

Take care Wonderfly....you are not alone

this morning i woke up and tried to look for my meds...i cant find them...what really sucks about my job is my boss wont allow me to go to see my counsellor....personally i think thsi is really stupid...i also have a co-worker that 'everyone has depression therefore its normal' what is normal!? i would really like to meet this 'normal' coz i never encountered it before! it makes it hard here coz i get sad easy...i was talking to my bf last night...he has mild depression too so he understands how i feel sometimes, we were talking about my 'surival methods' i have, if im in a situation that i cant handle my mind almost switched off, i almost cant hear him and i feel like a burden sometimes i hate being this way, it makes me so unproductive, i cant remeber things cause my mind dosn't register it...
