Will try and keep this brief.
Background: have suffered with depression and anxiety all my life, spent 2 months in hospital as a result in May 2009. Was on ADs up until last Christmas. I stopped taking them as felt much better and only had a private psychiatrist so it was costing me £250 to see him to get a prescription and another £200 per month per prescription.
I was doing REALLY well. Everyone commented on how well I was looking, I lost 3 stone and have generally been 'well' this year.
I started a new job on 1st August and it has all gone downhill. The anxiety is out of control. I cannot sleep. I am shaking all the time. I am being sick all day and cannot eat. It is like there is shouting in my head all the time. I cannot switch off.
I am so close to resigning because I feel I have failed in my new job and I cannot cope anymore.
I really don't want to go back on ADs - have had 16 years on them and still struggled.
I just don't know what to do or how to get over this. Just cry all the time.
Sorry this is so long.... Don't expect replies... Just need to get it out there
