Loong story but I've had on/off depression/anxiety for 10 years now. Usually with long gaps inbetween luckily and have found that Mirtazipine it the best AD for me, which helps as some of them have given me awful side affects in the past but it does make me a little plump.
Dealt with a tricky breakup 2 months ago (it was what I wanted but had to call the police twice as he harassed me for a bit but has given up now).
We were together a year and a half and I forgot how lonely it was to be at home most evenings with a small child. A lovely small child but you know how it is.
Also, it's the summer holidays so the days are long and stressfull at the moment.
The last 3 weeks or so my sleep has gotten pretty crap (find it hard to fall asleep and go back to sleep if I wake up, which I seem to do at 2/3 a lot). Am crankier with DS/things in general which I know is a sign for me but it's not awful, yet.
And eating habits have gone a bit crap, which is another one for me.
I'm not sure if I should accept it as just sadness/adjustment over the breakup/being alone again and leave it but try to correct things like diet/sleep...or if I should be more worried and see my GP etc.
I was in hospital in Oct '13 for a severe 'episode' so am trying not to panic and presume the worst, as I'm still on high alert from that in a way.
Sorry for the long post. Just don't want to worry/bother any family with it unless I have to as they helped a lot last year and have their own stuff to deal with etc.
