Recently, iv just been feeling abit numb, I don't really feel any emotions, I don't feel particularly happy, just like I'm stuck in a constant state of shit.
I feel like I'm becoming really moody towards my DH & young kids, abit shit to be around, i don't feel like killing myself ( I did when I used contraception but feeling like that stopped once I got it removed), I occasionally think about hurt myself but don't do it, so I suppose that's good right?
Iv always suffered with anxiety, I took some tablets for that, which helped.
Iv just had a series of bad things happen, like early miscarriage, my grandad dying ( he was the only father figure I had as my dad was mentally and physically abusive), then found my DH messaging other women on tinder, my other grandad is Ill and not long left, I have no friends, no social life, just abit sad and lonely, my youngest doesn't sleep, so iv been getting 3/4 hours of sleep the last year.
Feel like alot of things have got on top of me recently.
Is it worth going to the drs, maybe seeing if I am abit depressed if there's any thing they could prescribe?
I just want to feel happy again

Go to your doctors now!
You have been here before you know your body and mind so listen to it. Plus you have a load of grief on top.
You will feel better x

Yes, I think you would benefit from a trip to the doctors.

A good friend of mine who has been through a similar chain of difficult events finally went to the doctor after a few months of struggling with low mood/apathy/lack of energy and has been prescribed an anti-depressant that has made a huge difference with hardly any noticeable side effects.
