hi its me again, i am getting fed up again, i have constant worries that are sticking around, which lead to me feeling down and fearful. People on here have been great saying they have had the same thing. I have had cbt and that was only useful in the fact i had someone to talk to. Two people in my family have had this and i have no idea how they survived. Has anyone survived anxiety, what happens to the worries, do you see sense, i am getting so fed up, well actually the last 3 weeks i felt things were improving, but now it seems as though its going the other way. Have i ? What if? this is my life. . Please people who have had worries and depression help. I am so tired.

I too worry about everything, cit does seem to take the edge off.
I just wanted to say your post was very helpful, knowing someone is out there who knows what ya go through day to day is a great comfort.
Thank you

I have read through all your posts on this string and I have have to say how great it is to hear your experiences and fears and words of comfort to each other.
I too worry all the time, have self worth issues and problems with my employer and family not understanding my illness and most fo the time I feel so alone.
I can tell that my friends, family and work collegues are understanding to a point but they don't really get it... I don't know whether it is the illness but I worry that they think i am making a drama out of it but there are times when things do get so unmanagable that i want to scream... or cry (and i usually do). But you guys actually get it...
I loved the post about Strong people being susceptible to depression.
I am a strong passionate person who is generally known for my large personality, enthusiam and well... Joy...
But over the last couple of years i have lost my joy...
I have become cynical, paranoid, prone to moping and even violence... This had lead to a breakdown in friendships and the threat of loosing my job.
I was on citalopram 7 years ago. At the time I had the same lack of joy-ness as I had fallen out with my family and felt so alone.
Then I met my husband and he gave me my joy back... and reunited me with my family.
We got married two years ago and have been trying for a baby ever since. (I'm welling up just writing this...)
He is an amazing, hardworking and loving man. He has his own rage issues but does not understand my illness and is against me taking antidepressants.
My husband and I want children so much and I completely blame myself that it hasn't happend yet and the illness tell me that he blames me too.
I have been on citalopram for 11 weeks and have recently gone from 10mg to 20mg. I am not feeling any benefit yet but its nice to know there is some light at the end of the tunnnel.
I'm so sorry to go on...
I wanted to commend you all for your support of each other but ended up blathering...
Thank you again for reminding me that there are people out there, who even though they are going through their own life struggles can offer support and encouragment to complete strangers...
Thank you again x x x x x

I was told and have since read that it is the strong that get this illness. The weak would just give up.
Other traits (which i originally thought were positives) are that the group of people that get depression are: thoughtful, good listeners, put others before themselves, kind and caring and to our detriment, worriers.
Unfortunately none of us saw the illness coming and we all took on a little too much hence the position we are in now with a blown fuse that the AD's are slowly repairing. We will get better eventually, others have done it before us. It's just a little hard to believe when the fog surrounds us.
Like a lot of things in life, unless one has experienced it, one cannot fully understand what we are going through.
I've found this site to be a god send. It proves to us all that we are not alone and there are many like minded sufferers out there.
I'm a fluoxetine taker at the moment. This is my first AD and most of the time it is working for me. I've been on it for 5 and a half months now.
Outside factors are always going to contribute to our moods. It's just that on AD's problems are magnified - nature of the beast i'm afraid.
Sharing experiences, fears and questions is what this site is all about, so don't worry if you think you are blathering.
I hope this makes some sort of sense and i'll toddle back to the Cit site soon.
Best wishes. x

this depression lark has nothing to do with being, weak/strong, female/male stuff, it's a real PHYSICAL illness, get a grip, were seriously ill :cry:
if you accept that, the sooner we will get well again, ok :huh: :whistle:
lets do it, nobody else can, but the meds definitely help :wink: :mrgreen:
cheers,
Ken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :cheers: :rose:

I agree totally when you say other people around you don't understand its not their fault they are not as complex as us thats their problem they need to get over it.
Meganpooch could not have put it better \"we are thoughtful,good listeners, put others before themselves, kind, caring and detriment worriers\"
We all understand you here keep posting it is a good release
Take care
