Have got a prescription from GP for Citalopram and can't decide whether to take them or not - the side effects & withdrawal symptoms really scare me. I'm not even sure if I am depressed - what do you think? My children are very hard work - I know all kids are difficult but mine are really difficult. They drive me absolutely batty and I am angry all the time. Even little things make me scream and shout. I don't enjoy my life at the moment and I'm wanting my kids to grow up quickly so that all this will be over soon. I'm shouting/angry every day and I feel unable to cope with little problems around the house - we've had a lot of problems and things going wrong, major health scares etc. and I seem to be crying every other day about something or other. I've never felt suicidal but I do start most days just hoping the day will pass quickly so that I can get the kids into bed. I have this feeling of 'what's going to go wrong next?' and I have an overwhelming feeling of 'I can't be bothered' about most things except food and wine! I am pretty miserable most of the time and I don't feel like mysewlf - but is that just stress and not having any fun, rather than actual depression? My GP says I sound borderline burt she didn't really listen to what I was saying... very grateful for any advice.
