What's wrong with me?

Am hoping someone can help me please.

Am feeling really low, snappy and irritable with children, irrationally so. Screaming and horrid to them for not a lot at all. My libido is totally out of the window and I am over eating and overspending. This causes weight gain and financial stress then the cycle starts again.

Took st johns wort after reading about it on here, after a couple of weeks I felt loads better but then got terrible side effects with nerve pains in my fingers and toes and had to stop it was un bearable.

Now I don't know what to do, know I need to do something but worried about antidepressants. Side effects, seem to be wight gain and or low libido which I already have issues with. Also, not sure I am depressed really. Don't know what is wrong. I'm just moody and negative and snappy but not lethargic or lacking in concentration which seem to be issues with depression?

Help me please x

missingmojo34 I would go and speak to your GP. I understand your concern regarding Anti Depressants. I spoke to my GP three weeks ago. I sat with my tablets for two days before plucking up the courage to take them. I'm on the very lowest dose of Citalopram and it is really helping. I'm able to think and feel calmer than I did. I'm taking them and having counselling and it's the best decision I've ever made to ask for help.

You have to look after yourself which is the hardest thing to do sometimes.
