Hi, I suffer from depression and anxiety. I have done for years and am currently on low dose sertraline which has stabilised me somewhat.
I have had counselling sessions (private) and have been to see the local go mental health services but I don't think they have evening appointments. I have two sons and no one to help me much in the day. All my life my parents have made me think that mental illness is a weakness and that's one of the issues I have. It's been built into me so it's hard to shake.
Basically I'm looking if anyone has had treatment for depression /anxiety other than medication and managed to fit it around their family pressures and how? And also what would you recommend ?? I'm willing to try anything - alternative therapy ideas welcome .
I would especially be interested in anything that might help with past trauma or hidden trauma. A lot happened in my childhood some of which I can't remember but my elder sister can and it sounds quite a traumatic place so I'm looking for a way I might let go of this however its hard to talk about it as I'm not even sure what happened at some points consciously.
Sorry if this message is a bit rambly I'm just trying to type and look after a very demanding 1 year old !
