I was depressed last year. I saw my gp and took antidepressants and also had counselling. I managed to stop the ads quite quickly, before the counselling started. During the sessions, it became clear that the depression was caused by a combination of being massively overburdened by a demanding job, the stress of being on my own a lot because dh travels for work and my little ds being seriously ill.
I thought I was on top of things but ds has been ill again and I feel bad again. We are working towards a really big lifestyle change. We are selling our house and then I will give up work. I feel really stressed by all the moving stuff, beside myself with worry about ds's health and the tests he is having and completely disconnected from work. I am struggling to eat, called in sick because I felt too down to go to work and just want to cry.
The counselling helped but it is finished. If I go back to the gp will it be really counted against me because I haven't managed to stay well? Ds's illness is so tough, will they understand? I don't think I can keep going like this, it is getting hard to do all the things I need to.
Sorry, this is rambling. I guess I am asking what will be the repercussions of going onto ads for a second time?
