Hi Everyone,

I'm 30 year's old and have suffered depression for the last 20 years..I had councelling and CPT but i didn't think it helped and i often felt ripped off! recently i went to see 'relate councelling' the therapist said to me because i had 6 year's of therapy it dosen;t seem to work and that i should just accept my condition..How can I do this..constantly feeling sorry for myself and tearful..i was soooo upset afterwards.

I don't want to take antidepressants..it makes me feel suicidal but i don't know what to do...my gp is not very good

    I have felt that feeling and know it so so well - when will this go away, I can't fight this anymore, I don't feel down I'm just tired, worn out, had enough of fighting this strange feeling all of the time. Nerves in my stomagh, why? I've got nothing to be worried about - a wonderful husband, 3 beautiful daughters a perfect life with no money worries and I am so happy so why do I feel like this??? If it wasn't for my beautiful family don't think I would have carrried on fighting.

    I have suffered from anxiety for almost 5 years now. Please try psychodynamic therapy, although i am still on antidepressants these didn't work, neither did cognitive behaviour therapy. Psychodynamic therapy allowed me to remember and re-live suppressed memories and feel emotions deep down from childhood and adolesence that were causing my anxiety in the present day. It sounds really complicated but it makes so much sense to me now. I was in therapy for a year.

    It worked for me thank god. It may be worth a try. with love
