Has anyone else had a reoccurrence of bad mental health after feeling better for years?

I've been on 50mg sertraline for the past 6 years following a sort of mental breakdown following an abusive relationship. Life has had ups and downs but I've coped ok.

Last 4 weeks I've felt my depression come back and anxiety heighten.
It's now got to the point that I don't even want to get out of bed, I'm having very dark thoughts and feel completely hopeless.

I've had a few stresses in my life but usually I can handle them.
I called the dr today to see if I can increase my dose. I spent 55 minutes in a queue to be told there's no appointments.
I give up! I just want to be normal again
Thinking of upping my dose to 100mg anyway and trying to discuss with the gp once I get through (hopefully)

@wanttofeelbetter1
hello how are you getting now ? I’ve had to do the same thing myself today but from 100mg to 150mg. Luckily I have a spare box of tablets so have got enough until I can get through to doctors . I was managing for the last 4-5 years then had a massive relapse in March. Had a mental breakdown and the worst than I’ve ever been before.
ive added a new thread depression support chat as well x
