How to get out of this rut

feeling very low at the moment. Had a particularly stressful few months.
I have spoken to my gp and she prescribed antidepressants. I'm frightened to take them because I am sleeping and going to work. When I had them before I couldn't function for a few weeks.
Ive stopped drinking and started exercising but nothing is lifting my mood.

I have started seeing a therapist and feel better after but the next day the anxiety starts.
I worry about everything, my teenagers are struggling with school and my parents are old and need my help.
My marriage is awful, I don't have many friends but I can't even face being social at the moment.
My job is stressful but I desperately need it. Everyone I work with seem to be doing really well financially with no real problems.
it makes me feel crap sitting there everyday listening to their holiday plans or house renovations.
The World seems to be a very scary place and I cannot see an end to this.
Has anyone been through this and come out of the other side?
How can I try to be more positive because I'm drowning at the moment?
Thank you

No real help - just another bump

could you ask you doctor about the side effects of the ADs? It may be you had a rare reaction or they could adjust type / dose to help you ? I suspect if you could get started on them you would be better able to tackle the other problems
