Am pretty much all I over the place this afternoon.
Not really sure where to begin, my life just feels like a chore. I love to sleep and feel sad when I wake up.
I've spoken to my GP in the past and have been given various types of anti depressants over the years. Currently on fluoxetine.
Doesn't seem to had made any difference or else surely I'd be feeling better?
GP says if I feel at least 20% better then I'm getting a benefit from them. Trouble is, I still feel so low all the time.
I feel like a pest when I visit the GP, as if nothing's working and they don't know where to ge next.
Have had counselling in the past, it helped a bit but I still feel low.
DH and older DCs.
I used to have so much fight in me and now I feel like a hollow tired out old nothing.
My poor dog has been in all day because I can't muster the energy to take her out.
I'm ashamed and frightened.
Thanks for listening to my ramblilngs, it's helpful to write it down....sorry if this is the wrong place.

Sorry you feel like this Brew

Is your dh supportive?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, he tries very hard to understand but just feels angry about lack of help from GP.
This makes me feel sad and hopeless.

Flowers take care

Perhaps seeing a different GP might help. Others may have more experience of mental health issues. Perhaps the dose of your medication is insufficient?

I don't really know what to suggest, but would offer you some Flowers anyway. It is awful when you feel so low and can't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Been there, but not quite as severely as you seem to be.

Hope u don't mine me asking but what does your average day consist of? For example I get up get bigger kids ready and out the door to school then my friends come over ir I go to theirs, home at lunchtime after dropping 3rd at nursery (in scotland they go half days instead of reception) wee bit housework, wee bit arsing around with friends and kids then kids come home. They get snacks then out to play and my sil and friend come over till the boys finish work. Is there any way you could visit friends or family or have them visit you and make your days good?
