Hello everybody!
Earlier this year my ex had an affair and I found out (he didn't tell me..) then left me for her.
It's been around 4 months and I'm still very cut up about the whole thing.
I don't stalk him or her on social media and I do all the things the internet suggests I do, like write it down or go for a long walk, but I still think about them together most of the day.
Probably because of the time of year it's not ideal to feel lonely at Christmas ❤️
My best friend is also an alcoholic and we speak most evenings but recently he tried to hang himself so I find myself worrying about him a lot. He lives 3 hours away from me so he's difficult to get to, but I'm there as much as I can be.
I also work as a support worker which means I work ALOT (fellow care workers will understand!)
I'm just super duper stressed and down and I am crying three or four times a day, having bad dreams and struggling to sleep.
I'm seeking therapy but can't afford it so my follow up isn't until Feb as I'm going through the NHS.
My question is, are anti-depressants something I should be seeking out?
I know lots of people are helped by them but lots are also worse.
I am considering ringing by GP but as it is circumstantial is it worth it?
Advice please lovely people! ❤️
