I have been on Prozac in the past. I stopped taking it because i didn't like the side effects and read few scare stories too.
I do cope with things without it and i am not even sure if i am depressed, maybe it's just the way i am although i was different on the prozac (i think)
It's mostly anxiety really, i worry so much. My partner has a job where he has to have a night or two away each week and because i couldn't bear to be left alone at night i was getting in a state and eventually his boss allowed him to be home every night. This week tho, some workers are on holiday and he's going to have to be away. he told me this morning and although i know i am being irrational it's ruined my whole week! when he used to be away every week i found it such an ordeal and because i never knew which nights it would be i spent all my time dreading it. I don't mind being on my own it's being alone with the children. I am already panicking my youngest might come down with some dreaded illness. I am ashamed of being such a wuss, i am pathetic. If he said he was going away for a week i'm sure i'd have a nervous breakdown. I know this is not normal. I almost feel like i am still a child! I'm 29 FGS
Should i be on antidepressants if this is how i am? Help!
