I have been suffering with depression and anxiety for the last few months. I have been finding it really hard to leave the house, and I can't bear being on my own. I have been signed off work for over a month. I am under the crisis team.
I don't tolerate SSRIs, and insomnia has been a real killer, so they have put me on Trazadone. First 100mg for 2 weeks, then.I was upped to 150mg 9 days ago.
When, when, when will they start to work? I am desperate for them to start work. I wake at about 4.30am filled with dread, then just have to drag myself through yet another awful day of misery. I occasionally have a few hours where my mood lifts slightly, but 95% of the time I am still battling despair and anxiety.
I don't know how many more days I can face like this? There's no pleasure in anything and no feeling of hope. I haven't quite reached the stage yet where I refuse to dress and just lie in bed all day, but it's close.
I just cannot believe I will ever get any better. The CPN assures me I will, but I just do not believe him. He would say that, wouldn't he, anyway?
