I need to know what to do next/who to talk to

[Toodarkhere]

I don't even know what is causing my bad state of mind, could be any (or all) of the following:
-pmt
-SAD
-house not selling and we need to move
-have been at home with the children for too long and now have no confidence I'll ever be able to get a job again
-I have become a bit of a hermit and lost touch with the real world

The thing is that I don't feel I can talk to my husband/friends/family about this anymore as I feel I've just been too negative too many times. But I really feel like I need to talk to someone. Am at such a low ebb and none of these issues (except sometimes the pmt) are going to go away. Feeling very weepy and not motivated to do anything.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can escape from this trap I have made for myself?

Can you talk to your GP about how you are feeling?

My gp made me cry once, so am wary about talking to gp's in general. And I think I would properly sob talking about this stuff.

Sure gps have people sobbing on them all the time. I did it to mine last week. Go see them.

First of all, I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling so down. You're certainly not alone in having feelings like these.

If you don't feel comfortable with your usual GP, is there someone else at the surgery you could talk to, even if its the practice nurse?

First off, is you feeing really down. anti-depressants can help with this and may help you feel better enough to tackle the other ways that your're feeling down.

I've had counselling in the past and found it very helpful for being somewhere I could get everything off my chest to someone who was there for me to lean on and I didn't have to worry about talking to - do you think that would help you? The GP can refer if you do.

Sometimes counselling on the NHS can take an age, but they may be able to recommend someone locally that perhaps you could go and talk to a few times while you're waiting.

I feel like I'd become the talk of the town, but maybe you're right. Although realistically they only prescribe pills don't they? And some of my probs won't respond to that.
Oh god.

Oh thanks Xmas, yes I guess counselling is what I need to ask for.
