hey hello everybody from a wild north Scotland,
firstly I must thankyou for my ((((hugz))))) very much appreciated, can never have enough of them it's only midday and already I'm not enjoying the day at all though I'm starting to realise that little things that would'nt normally bother me to much now totally do my head in!!! as in Mr angry, Mr no patience, Mr why me. it's a brief escape coming on here and voicing my feelings, maybe not the place to do it, I do'nt know. hope nobody minds? will pop by later, hopefully a wee bit more cheerfull and with a smile ha

I know exactly where you're coming from ....... I used to be Mrs weepy, Mrs angry, Mrs wtf, Mrs everything! Now I'm Mrs happy, Mrs grateful for everything in life and Mrs yeeeeeeee-ha! Soon you will be too ......Mr that is, not Mrs :-)
Day 52 and you are so nearly turning that corner of feeling that happy warm feeling. When it comes it'll visit you for an hour or so then disappear. But just wait as it'll come back. Each time it'll stay longer and longer until it moves in and lives with you always. This can take a few months of ups and downs and the ups will get longer and longer.
Keep going, you're doing grand.
K xx

Depression attacks anyone regardless of age, sex, race, wealth ....... it's not choosy.
You will recover on this medication. Just persevere and the results will happen. xx

People don't understand that this is an illness, and it's debilitating. Ok it's not life threatening, but it takes our life away in other ways ... depression steals our soul and leaves us an empty shell of our former selves. It's often not talked about and when we do people just dismiss it, expect us to either pull ourselves together or take a magic pill and be better in a few weeks. Yes .... and so do we!!
Continue on this medication ..... just persevere through everything, and you'll come out the other side.

My son has taken fluoxetine for 4 months now after he had a melt down, and is nearly back to his usual self. He couldn't work for 4 months and has just returned to work. He went through hell on this medication too and it's great to see him back.
i had depression years ago and Citralopram helped me recover, and only stopped my meds last year, but restarted them this year because I needed to be well to help my son as could feel the stress taking it's toll on me.
So yes, we're both on different meds, but they're both SSRI's which give the same side effects etc and the same outcome.

I tried CIT after my son for pnd but I was crazy on it so yes we all react differently. Serterline gave me great results in little time too but I tried to go back in it and was really ill so I was put on flu. The only thing that worries me is that the dream / spaced out is the meds and won't ever go away whilst taking them or that it is from the illness and the meds arnt cutting it. I also feel shakey with moments of depression but only last a hr. Thank you for ur kind words x

Yes the leaflet is a bit naughty giving false hope, though some do feel the benefit after a few weeks ..... the majority of us though it's more like 2 months plus, not 2 weeks.
