Hi pal! Hope you see some improvements by now, dont you? Did you have the chance to talk to a doctor to decide what to do? I am in the exact same situation, 5 weeks on 100 and I feel like sh*te and its even get worse and worse day by day. No idea what to do 😦

Not much we can do mate im not as anxious as i was which is good but im very unmotivated still and a little depressed still cannot ever feel happy at all but i just get up and get on with it now really dont feel happy nor sad appetites a bit better than it was in a better place than i was so got to look at it that way.I go gym almost every day which helps hope i get myself back someday.

You got to get up and get on with it harsh as that sounds no ones gonna help us other than ourselves.Do you have friends or family to speak to

I know its hard but dont take this wrong way but we have to help ourselves also ive bin there many a time where i could not do anything with dep/anxiety i know its impossible sometimes ive been there but u have a wife you got to fight it also i know its hard you dont have to go gym thats just my thing that helps me,no one knows or believes ive been this way and when ive told people they still cant believe it or say pull yourself together its not as easy as that is it.What do u enjoy?Dont take this wrong way but we have to help ourselves try to do one thing u wouldnt normally do every day no matter how hard it may be baby steps try not to rely just on the med to help u if it even does im unsure about that.Things will get better if u make little changes each day
