enigma - can you say a little more about your situation and your symptoms and then many MNs on here will be able to offer advice. I have had 2 major episodes of severe depression so know how ghastly it is. I am still not fully recovered from the one last year.

What is happening for you..........do you have a supppotive partner or husband........please come back and give us more info if you can.

thanks!!
It's always a worry as I have been through depression/anti D's for PTSD.
However my head felt like it was about to explode. I have a severly disabled child with lots of issues. He's 10yo and hasn't been to school for a year or so. He is also quite aggressive and controlling. He also doesn't get much sleep. I think it was just a combination of needing a break, an unproductive meeting about his needs and the realisation of not getting very far, very quick!! Battling for the same needs for over 8 year. I am married however he doesn't realize at times that how he thinks he helps just drags me down further.
I think I just needed a few ways to get away from how I was feeling in order to just get on with the day.
I do feel a bit better than I did this am, next meetings the end of March so no doubt will be feeling similar. It just seems to be feeling more down as time goes on.
Take care x
