My mental health has always been all over the place. I had a non-specified eating disorder for 4 years as a teenager- closest to bulimia but more of the purging than the binging. A few years later I started to feel very anxious and low with suicidal thoughts. I didn't seek help for a long time and was recommended CBT and counselling. I've been on and off for the last 7 years and have been through several rounds of talking therapies of sort. I seem to feel like I'm getting better, go through a few month periods when I'm very happy and positive about life and then... Bam. Crying, low, suicidal thoughts, awful anxiety. I'm there again right now.
DP encouraged me to make an appointment to see the GP and I'm on my way now. I've moved around a lot and don't know how much of this is on my records. I'm scared of antidepressant side affects. Shall I ask them to explore my options and take the risk- I'm a bit at a loss of what to do.
