Hi am back again, my symptoms are, tiredness, disinterested in things i like, what to be alone, funnyappetite!

 I have writen here before that my husband and daughter don't understand me and gang up on me! Looking back i don't know if i was exaggerating this because i just wanted to be on my own? We have had long talks and they are trying to understand!

  Last time i went to docs he felt i was mentally exhaused but i am having a blood test this week to check for diabeties! 

 Why am i depressed? I don't like to believe i get depression it feels like an excuse! I have had bad things happen in my life, but now things are a lot better and it feels like i've just crashed!

 I have been on clomramine for 30 years, last year they tried me on different antidepressants, one i put loads of weight and the other didn't stop panic attacks!

 I never feel suicial just stop the world i want to get off for a bit! I know i have a mind that over thinks things, but i just want to stop feeling like this! Will go and see doctor again this week, but truely i dont think they know what to do! I have looked for help groups but nothing at all in Wales! Had some talking therapy last years but you have to wait about 8 months!

  I know i should get out and exersize but i just can't motivate myself!

 Normally i am a bubbly person, lots of friends and enjoy life, when i'm like this i am a different person!

 Anyone got any advice please!

    hi 

    may i suggest you ask your doctor for you to be referred to social services.

    i have and you then assigned to a care worker and because of that you get get reffered to something called the Mental Health Reablement team and a result of that being referred to 2 groups - 1) one to one and the other is literally a group therapy each will is 6 weeks long.

    Tomorrow the hospital pharmacist is coming to sort out ALL my medication...hopefully get rid of some.

    in the meantime I would contact the Samaritans, preferable go and visit rather then ring...just go to the web site for details.

    Hope this helps ...

    A good place to start would be to ring or visit your local Samritians

    Honestly I have no advice just that I am on the other side of this to you.

    My other half is the one that is disinterested in things, whats to be alone, lack of appetite and sleep and doesn't want to belive that she is depressed and has even said she wants the world to stop for a bit so she can get off, she feels nothing for anything and decided to leave also and now says she feels better in herself but is still lieing about silly small things and blames me for her behaviour when Ive done nothing but support her......even when  she started going on "dates"

    It's hard to be honest but you need to keep communication open with your loved ones and tell them what is going on with you, even if that is you think you don't love them anymore and you do move out!
