Hi all, glad everyone is doing so well.
Sorry to say my friend whom I had been caring for passed away on the 4th of October.
He was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer early May and given 3 months to live but battled on for 5.
Still on 25mg of sert and doing ok considering. I miss him so much as I first moved in with him 2 years ago to care for him after he broke his neck in a fall. It was after he recovered from this that I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and he then took care of me in return. it was then after I thought I had this licked that he was sadly diagnosed with cancer.
I am trying to keep busy as I don't want to return to how I was when I was ill where I spent most of my time just laying on the sofa wishing my life away.
Life goes on and the world around me carries on as if nothing has changed. But I have lost my best friend who was like a father to me.
It feels strange living alone (apart from my dog and now inherited cat) as does having the freedom to just leave the house when I want.
Hi all, I am guessing everyone's doing well or moved on to a different med, or both.
I am struggling badly at this minute, I thought I was doing well all things considered.
But yesterday while looking for something in my recently passed friends room I went from feeling fine to total panic attack in a second for no reason at all.
I suddenly felt very very nervous, began to sweat profusely and felt very dizzy.
I immediately reached for a diazepam (which I haven't used in a very long time) which helped some but not completely.
I have felt very anxious all day today which reminded of how bad I had been in the past and it also reminded me of my friend who had helped me greatly at my worst times who is now no longer with us.
So I have spent most of the day crying for my friend who I miss so much and for myself as now I will have to try to beat this again by myself.
I really hope this is a blip and not a return to my illness at its worst.

Hello I still dip in and out but mostly on the citolapram forum. Hope things are improving. X
Hi candy, liked reading your post.
I've been on sertraline 50mg for 4 weeks and then upped to 100mg for 4 weeks. Had a couple of good days 2 weeks ago and 4 days last week. Last 2 days I've been really flat though and tearful. I told work I'd be back in the office next week but now I'm thinking not (plenty of negative thoughts of course).
Any advice?
