mentally sliding..........

[bridewolf]

was on meds earlier in year, and took some positive steps , changing life, and other stuff, and felt better. stopped the meds, and things ok. didnt tell DH that i was on them.

anyway, am now feeling horrible again, have ben unable to eat much this week, some days nothing, or a small portion of food.

cant sleep well, and want to cry, but cant.

having some really nasty deppressing thoughts, all of which arent logical, like running away, feelings of failure regarding the kids and hubby etc.

bit better today. but its not going to last long.

cant sit down much, so house is looking ok...

anyway, am going to have to sort myself out, and go back to docs.

hubby hasnt noticed anything wrong yet, so am not sure i should tell him , dont want to worry him. who wants a wife that is that mentally feeble?

Sorry to hear that bridewolf. Depression is a treatable illness but it does have a tendency to come back. It may be that you came off the meds a little to early.

Just know that you will get better again. You did before and there is no reason why this will be different.

Go back to the doc and be honest about how you are feeling.

BTW would you think your self feeble for succumbing to flu, or chicken pox, or asthma?
Depression is an illness, not a reflection of you as a person (however it makes you feel).

As far as telling hubby, if it was my partner, I would want to know, but without knowing either of you impossible to say more than that.
