When are things going to improve? I don’t know how much longer I can do this.

Mornings are the hardest. As soon as I wake up I get intrusive thoughts of me not being here any more. Have been taking antidepressants for five weeks, thought it was helping but feel very similar now to how I felt before I started them. I’m seeing a therapist every week & exercising a few times too. I also tell my family about how I’m feeling. So I’ve been taking all the steps but still not feeling much better. I just don’t understand.

I have a two year old son and have been living with in laws for ten months now whilst we save for a deposit. To say it’s been hard would be a huge understatement but surely that can’t be the only reason that I’m not getting any better.

Please help

Can I ask what medication you are currently taking? Did you start them 5 weeks ago?

In my own experience it can take up to 8 weeks to feel the benefits. Have you told your GP you’re not feeling better yet? They may suggest a different dose.

Keep going! You got this x
