Please can anyone come and cheer me on? I finally admitted to myself in October that I was suffering from serious depression and went to see a psychiatrist. He put me on venlafaxine which has really helped, although there have been some serious ups and downs. But I had started to feel really better since New Year's Eve. That is a whole 26 days, almost a month, which is such a big deal for me.
I even went out 2 nights in a row at the weekend. But on Sunday I fell into such a big black hole that I feel back to where I started. My ds is at home poorly with me. My mum, who has been spending a couple of days a week with me (she lives 2 hours away) can't come this week. I don't want to leave the house. The idea of getting off the sofa to even make a cup of tea is overwhelming. The thought of going out to collect my dd at 3pm is hideous.
I can't believe this is happening again. I was doing so well. Please please please will someone tell me this happens and that I won't spend the rest of my life like this. Please tell me it is possible to recover from depression.
