I've been on mumsnet for a long time. I've often used it as a place to vent and moan about things. And also, more importantly, a place to talk about my depression and anxiety.
I imagine some people get bored of it, but I'd like to thank those (especially Lulumama) who ever said a kind word or tried to advise or encourage me.
After years of feeling down I'm finally gfetting help, I will be starting CBT soon and am now on medication.
I still feel anxious but the medication has helped so much with me feeling down. I feel normal again.
I'm not short tempered, I'm not bitchy to my DH and I've found a new little bit of happiness.
I've done my front garden, planted flowers, jet washed the flags. My DH and I have started to satin all the fence panels...I know it sounds daft but I'm starting to CARE about things again.
I've never stopped caring for my children, they are the one thing thats kept me going, but I'm staring to see there are things I can do for myself now too.
So thankyou and if anyone is dithering about going to the GP and getting help, then do it, things can only better once you have taken that step
