      Go back to your gp throw your toys out the pram.

      I dont know if your in the UK but thats what I did and had an appointment within a month.

      I had to give up work because of anxiety, something that never happened in the 16 years of depression

      Keep Fightingbiggrin

    Dear Leslie,

    your life ice is all important. Please seek professional help, a doctor, a therapist, a group. Do not listen to anyone who down talks psychiatry or psychology. Take charge and seek professional help.

    You really must get help, someone needs to know what a bad phase you are going through. If you cannot force yourself to go out perhaps you could ring your doctors and say that you must speak to a doctor and see what he/she suggests. You could even write to them but this would mean going out to post the letter, I have written to my docs before which helps to get the problems off your chest and lets people know that you are needing help. I know there can be a long wait to see a psychiatrist but you must impress on your doc or someone close how urgent it as become. Be strong,try and push yourself just enough to get help.

    Hi Lesley, I am weening off citalopram at the moment and suffer with anxiety and depression, For the last 2 1/2 weeks I have been using cold showers, to aid with the withdrawls. Now i dont know your medical history regards heart conditions and such, but look into it google cold water therapy, and cold showers for anxiety or depression and see

    I can feel low and a cold shower snaps me out of it and usually have another shower before bed

    The first 3 or 4 showers were the hardest it then got easier, 

    I sure they are helping iv got from 30mg down to 10mg of citalopram with very little side effect in less than 4 weeks, im starting sertraline in a week or so hence why
