I've had a hugely stressful few years, marriage broke down after 25 years, DD suicide attempt, major work issues etc etc. I had a spell on sertraline which helped but I came off too early and feel worse than ever. GP has just given me another prescription but I don't think drugs alone are enough.
I can barely get through the day without tears. I take absolutely everything to heart. Today, for instance, I've had some pretty abusive messages from an eBay seller and I've been sobbing for the past hour. My reactions aren't in proportion to events. I seem to have coped with the big things but now even little things are insurmountable.
I had to leave my job and am now going through the employment tribunal process. I'm worried sick about it but can't let it drop. I've just started a new job but feel like a fraud and they'll sack me when they realise.
I'm at a bit of a crossroads in that both my DDs have left home in the past few months, I've ended a relationship that wasn't right for me and in some ways it's an opportunity to do what I want (money permitting) but I spend hours just staring into space. I've put on a lot of weight and it's making me feel ugly. My friends have pretty much deserted me. They're all married so if I'm lucky I might see them for an occasional coffee but I'm on my own most of the time and have no enthusiasm for anything.
I'm sorry this sounds like a self-pitying rant. I know I can't carry on like this and need some form of therapy or counselling but don't know what sort. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
