Bit of a long story...the last 2 years have been tough. As a couple we’ve been through 2 small non sleeping children born 2y apart, PND, a traumatic attack, diagnosis of a chronic illness which we learning how to manage, house move, career change, major house renovation and subsequent money pressures. My marriage as a result is in tatters.
But ‘on paper’ coming out the other side with some parts (house renovations etc) but I’m struggling to find joy/happiness. Or to be grateful for the life I have. I seem to go through repeat circles of short lived happiness, anxiety/frustration and then feeling really low. The cycles seem to be coming more frequently.
How do I break through this? I was on anti depressants for a year with pnd but I’ve been off them over a year now. I’d like not to rely on them but do you think I should go back on them?
