Trying not to drip feed or make this really long and boring, was on anti depressants for a long time on and off 10 years, due to how I was being treated by my first husband. So I'm not new to to them. Due to issues happening I couldn't control went to gp 6 months ago asking for something to help me 'cope'. He put me back on anti depressants, sertraline I think. The side effects were horrific for me, not mild. Anyway I came off them as they made me worse. Life is unbelievably stressful at the moment. I'm having major issues with ds1 with school and his own mental health and I'm getting no support with it. I'm finding every thing is getting on top of me, I feel like I have blinkers on. I can't focus on anything, can't motivate myself to do anything. My life is revolved around ds and school. He is only there part time at the moment and sometimes not there at all. So I do the school run, by the time I've got back out washing out etc it's time to walk back to get him. Then give him lunch, another chore and time to walk back to get my other dc. Then the usual evening routine. I know this isn't forever but I'm constantly in a bad mood? Everything and everyone (including dh as he is useless at the moment) is really annoying me. My family are useless and no support whatsoever. I have a great friend but she has her own health problems.
If I go back to the GPs, can they give something that isn't anti depressants?

Can a gp prescribe me something other than anti d's?
