Been receiving treatment for depression and anxiety, taken mirtazapine for about 2 months now, and for a few weeks have been feeling alright. Sometimes though i still get times when i feel very down, it's usually on nights like i'm having tonight when i have difficulty falling asleep, i lie awake and start thinking about stuff, then i start feeling sad, i start worrying and start crying because i start worrying that it's always going to keep coming back and i don't know how to cope when i start feeling like this.
I find myself keeping my worries to myself, trying to cope on my own, and i'm worried that i might slip back to my old method of coping on my own by self harming. I didn't seld harm alot but i don't want to go back to doing that to myself even if it is minor injury. I hated that i did anything to hurt myself but at the time it felt like the only way i could cope on my own. I'm trying so hard not to give in to it.
Just need some advice please?

I am also not good at explaining my condition to others, so I don't bother. I seriously believe my depression came from those horrible early years & the regrets I have about not standing up to him.
It's good to talk to someone who has had the same unfortunate experience, & I am sorry you had to go through it too. Feel free to PM any time if you want to natter. Lee.

My therapist was the one to make me realise that the way I am is because of what he did. She related things back to my childhood and it all made sense. I sent the letter and got a dull reply.. Nothing unusual! I didn't even want a reply.
Although I don't know all your problems I do believe that whatever it is they stem from your childhood and you need to face them even though some of them will not be good memories and figure out answers or get someone to help you go through them separately. I recommend a life coach! I think it's easier to talk to people you don't know. I'm glad I joined here because I know I'm not alone, and some people know exactly what I mean.
