Feeling low again...

[ipadsbanned]

Since October I've felt incredibly low. The lowest I've ever felt. I could barely bring myself to get out of bed and go about my day but somehow I did. I spent hours on my own just crying over nothing. I started to feel better on Christmas Day and up until last Wednesday I've felt elated...almost like I was on a high. This weekend I've felt the 'depression' coming back. My house is a mess, I'm not sleeping, I'm just sitting doing nothing and barely talking to anyone. I'm scared that I'm going to get to my lowest point again and worrying about how long it will take me to feel happy again. How can I stop this and build myself back up. I feel like I can never just be 'normal'. I'm either really high or really low. I hate feeling like this.

Whoop whoop! So pleased for you, and hugely well done!

I think you definitely should be honest with your partner - it will make things much better easier with his support.

Good luck

Well done to you! Great news. Small steps an a bigger journey - keep going and remember how the GP made you feel. Just cause you can't see it does not mean you're well. All the best x

Well done OP! They don't give out ADs for no reason - you should speak to your husband and let him know you have been diagnosed with depression. The medication can take a few weeks to get used to so helpful to let him know from that point of view. Ask him for help and TLC, apologise for mood swings as that you are trying to address things as best you can but actually have an illness. Also, try yoga x you can get it on YouTube
