Emergency Appointment for MH?

I am not at a good point with my mental health. Looking back, I’ve been struggling for at least the last year if not since my DS was born last year and it’s getting worse. I have good weeks but my DP has described me all all right or all sh**te. He’s had a pretty rubbish year with me like this too.

I feel down and binge eat constantly, despite hating the way I look and desperately trying to loose the 5 stone I’ve gained since having children. My self esteem is at an all time low and I feel like I’m drowning with life in general. I hate the bones of myself and cant understand why anyone would love me, never mind find me attractive. Ive broken tonight and DP thinks I need to see a Doctor. He’s right and I haven’t admitted to him that I keep having suicidal thoughts, although I know I could never bring myself to do it.

I saw a doctor a couple of months ago who prescribed anti-depressants but I couldn’t get on with them and hated not being in control.

Would I be silly to book an emergency appointment in the morning to see the doctor and tell him how I’ve been feeling?

Ton it would not be silly, this is not going to go away. If you’ve been feeling like this for a year.

You may not of given the AD long enough? They take at least 4-6 weeks to get into your system.
AD don’t control you, they help you feel less anxious/ depressed.
It doesn’t mean you have to stay on them forever, I’ve been AD for many years and I’d rather take them than feel like shit
