Hi everyone. My current situation is that I have been supporting my husband for the past 12 months who was diagnosed with psychotic depression. He also had some different health scares which were quite serious and stressful. All was going well but has recently relapsed but back on the road to recovery. During this time I had to remain very strong for everyone.
We have 2 kids, one of which has adhd and is very intense. So it's been quite difficult for me.
Recently I've realised that I feel very low myself and like I'm running on empty. Before I was desperate to get out and about, enjoy the sunshine, days out with my kids etc. But I've lost all motivation and don't want to do anything. I don't but if I had the time and was able I would spend the whole day in bed. I've noticed I aren't getting any enjoyment out of anything and I am just counting down until bedtime every day.
My mum suggested to me that maybe I need some support and medication now . I am going to the doctors about it on Wednesday. Will an anti depressant help me ? I don't really know if I am depressed I just feel burnt out and like I can't cope with things the same as I did before. Anyone been through similar?
