After several years of feeling crap mentally I have finally bitten the bullet and made an appointment to see the GP. I am going to ask for antidepressants.
For quite a while now it seems my default emotional setting is one of irritability, anger, constant anxiety, tearfulness, fearfulness etc. Most recently my appetite has packed its bags and left - I have lost 2 stone since the summer and have a low BMI. I am also finding it increasingly difficult to get to sleep at night despite being exhausted and just generally feel very apathetic about everything. Everything takes such effort to do.
I am quite anxious and apprehensive about taking ADs as am aware they can come with side effects which may make me feel much worse for a period of time. But I have had enough and have to give it a go.
Have other people found taking the step to go on medication been a turning point for them?
