I posted at the end of May because I had come off citralopram and was feeling really low. I had lots of supportive responses and at times I felt like I could get through it. But now I feel the lowest I've ever felt. It was triggered by a falling out with a friend who also happens to be my business partner. I work 3 days a week and I have also started a small business. It's one where lots of people depend on it operating. What was once a pleasure and an exciting venture now feels like a burden. I feel trapped. I can't eat, I'm struggling to sleep. I'm holding it together just. But its impacting on my dh and my 3 dcs who are worried about me. I keep having mini panic attacks and feel restless, tired and tearful all at the same time.
I'm worried that I'm a burden on my friends who have their own lives to live.
I went to the doctor yesterday and I'm back on the citralopram but I know it will take a while for the effects to kick in.
I feel so lost I don't know what to do.

Yesterday was so hard after seeming to have improved on Thursday. Today is also hard. It's by youngest's 8th birthday and I want it to be special for him but I have no energy or motivation. DH has been amazing, but he's gone to cricket and I fear the day ahead. We're about to go to the cinema and my friend is coming so I know I don't have to cope alone. I'm scared this won't go away and this is my future.

Hi I can't really help as I'm going through the same thing. On two different types of medication but I don't think I'm feeling the effects. All I wanted to say is your not alone Flowers

I got to the point yesterday evening where I felt normal again. I've woken up this morning feeling sad and with no motivation. It's really demoralising to feel like any progress I make is taken away the next morning. This all feels like a horrible dream. I long to feel better. I'm afraid this is my future. I'm hanging in there with the promise that good times will come. But it's hard.
