I can't get an appointment with my regular GP for another week. I think I have depression, it must have been building for months but this last few days things have got too much and I've had a bit of a meltdown.
I have two young DC (2.9 and 11months), a DH who I think is coming out the other side of a bout of depression, a mountain of debt, an ankle injury that means I can't exercise properly, low self esteem caused by spots which are caused by stress which is caused by said debt and a list of other things that are creating that horrible sick feeling in my stomach.
I was on citralopram (sp?) six years ago for anxiety and I'm worried this is going to come back. What can I do to help myself til I see the doctor? Are the flower/rescue remedy type things any good as a short term measure?
My house is a mess, I'm behind on washing/ironing etc, I'm tired all the time, no energy or motivation and my kids are being babysat by cbeebies :(
Wish I could "snap out of it" :(
