Feeling very low

I have been on ADs for over a year and have had my dosage put up twice in the past six months. They are for depression adn anxiety. They do work, at least they did work. I have had a very positive year in many resp[ects and have made a lot of necessary changes in my life, and everything seems on a much better footing in everyway, outwardly. I have much to be happy about. But I feel terrible just lately, I am putting weight on very rapidly, am tired all the time and insomniac, am having very black thoughts and moments of fearing that I am going to lose my grip on reality and do something just irrational or odd. I am very uneasy about being around people in case they notice that I am spaced out and not myself. Also something has happened to me three time that has never happened to me before, I have stammered when trying to speak to someone (a friend, not someone who makes me nervous usually) and actually had to start the sentence again and apologise. It was very frightening. I have even been self-harming, in a very non-detectable way. I had a bad panic attack last night too.

I just wanted to write it all down really.

then if i may say so House, you want not to be depressed any more.

which means sometime, you will need to talk to someone about some more/different way of dealing with it.....

I'm so sorry things are that bad for you. it's such a shame to not be able to enjoy things a bit more. Is there someone in your life who could help you by taking the first step for you - or going with you to the GP for instance?

You're not self indulging! Personally speaking I don't think I'm really depressed but have really felt better for those kind people who've answered me when I'm lonely and fed up in the middle of the night and everything has got on top of me. Obviously speaking to your doctor is imprtant too ...

aw i couldn't read this again and not comment. that's lovely sunburn, you sound a great friend!!!!
how was the cake ladies? and how are you today HoH?
I'm in the middle of a rough patch at the moment (feels like the depression i felt was past is always just lurking round the corner) but have finally found someone wonderful to talk to. a counsellor who is also a friend. Never thought it would work but it is, even if I don;t fel like I can cope between sessions, knowing she's there is fab. Anyway, I wanted to say that sometimes some relief can be where you don't expect it!!
