I can’t stop crying!

[Ellalovescake]

Sorry if this is a long post! I spend so much time crying and I’m not even sure what for half of the time! I’ve had anti depressants but had them discontinued as they caused me to have an elevated mood. I have therapy and am currently under the mental health team. I really don’t feel they help much, I seem to just go round in circles. I work part time but have never held a job down for longer than 6 months. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I really can’t stand myself. I feel like everyone else moves forward with their lives apart from me. Any advice would be much appreciated.

There are lots of options for anti depressants. I’d go back to your gp and ask to try another one.

it sounds really tough.

In the short term, is there something you could do to break the crying cycle? I find going out for a walk works for me. Or maybe a bath, start a book, play a silly game on the Internet?

Thank you so much for your reply! I try and do things like going to the gym but I end up crying whilst I’m there. I really want to try another anti depressant but they won’t let me because it elevated my mood

Hiya Ella, sorry to hear your going through a tough patch sweety. Have you tried meditation and yoga at all? I really find they help me rewire my thoughts. A lovely lady called Yoga with Adrienne has a free YouTube channel. She is fab and helped me with my depression and anxiety. Take care Bec x
