Desi offers a warm blanket and one simple question.

Why so tearful?

Have you been diagnosed with anything?

cantdothisanymore · 23/06/2007 19:29

I'm sorry you're feeling like this wurly. I know it's no fun. Can anyone help?

Hi WW, which AD's have you tried? I've been on & off them for about 6 yrs now, currently off them as am trying to fend off depression with exercise. I still have low moments but instead of taking over my whole life they only last upto an hour or so. Whilst on AD's I only found one type to help, one even made me so much worse it was awful. You are not alone hun, I know what it's like to feel like you do, it was not that long ago for me.
Do you have anything that triggers you off?

cantdothisanymore · 23/06/2007 19:37

I think, for some of us, finding an AD that helps is not easy. I'm on my 3rd lot in 6 months and am still not convinced they are working. But I am at the end of my tether now. I cannot go on living with this so I have no choice but to keep taking them and trying something new.

Hang on in there wurly.

Desiderata · 23/06/2007 19:37

May I leave you with these wonderful women, wurly?

I wanted you to know that I cared, but I've no practical experience of depression.

I shall keep an eye on your thread though, and beam a thousand positive thoughts in your direction

nothing that i can put my finger on, felt ok this morning went out this afternoon, all of a sudden its like someone has put a blanket over me and made everything go dark. Just fed up of fighting it all the time...

I know - it's exhausting, wurly. The evenings are worst for me. I don't know why.

Can you go back to your dr? Or try counselling? I'm sure you don't need me to list things you could try and I am sure you have thought about your options.
