Im so glad i found this site, as i feel a bit more normal now, and im not on my own, but i think i have been feeling down for many years but only now have realised it, if that makes sense, but i feel i have lost my boyfriend because of it, he isn't quite so understanding. I've read up on things but i wasn't brave enough to go to a doctor and talk about it, i wish i had done sooner. I feel i have got so much going on in my head, but just don't know how to get it all out!! I've read that some of you feel more anxious coming up to your period, i feel like that as well, i feel that i have got to get some much done in a short space of time and i become a lot more irratable. I hope i don't feel like this for ever, but im so sick of everyone telling me that im strong and i can get through this, or i have to pull my self together. If only it was that simple!

    I know exactly how you feel. I keep getting people telling me i am fine and that im over reacting and thinking too much about things. I feel like im being eaten up by a massive black thing and i duno what to do. Im on cipalopram and have been for a week but its just makes me lose sleep and have panic attacks. I wish i didnt feel like this no more x

    I've been on cit for a year now and it helps me so much.

    This time last year i couldn't leave the house, didn't like being left alone all the same feelings as most people on here.

    I'm on 10mg and take it at half 7 every morning. After the first few weeks of horrible side effects they kicked in.

    I sleep really well, only side effect that's left is vivid dreams. Last night i dreamt someone had left a fruit machine in my garden!!!!!!!! ha ha.

    take care everybody

    I don't seem to be getting any side affects that i have noticed, but i am going to bed really tired and waking up really tired with puffy eyes, but i was always feeling tired before. I ask my self im i just looking into things too much, is there anything wrong with me!! i look things up and can relate to a lot of things that i have found on depression, but am i looking for an excuse or wanting to find something?

    Hi, Only I know is, keep busy - try not to sit and tune into everything you are feeling. Even take a little walk. Don't sit and scare yourself with other people scary side effects, everyone is different. When you wake in the night find something you enjoy doing and enjoy the time alone. I found reading on the sofa helped make me tired. And the main thing is keep positive. Things will get better, its still early days but it will be worth it. Good Luck :D

    Hi, just thought i would mention i went to see a homeopath yesturday, a relative suggested it. She has been a couple of times before and she swears but it, so i went with an open mind, and it was pretty amazing, this person described me and how i had been feeling down to just by doing a few simple things, his opinion was, my problems were mainly down to hormone imbalance, i have been in a constant state of PMT, which explains my moods and reactions over the years. His treatment involves natural remadies, so im gonna carry on taking citalopram along with what he has given me and give them a chance to work, will keep you up dated.
