Hi everyone Im new to this site were do I start !!!
I have been off work since the end of June with work related stress I had a well paid job but the stress finally got me good and proper.
For me its hard to talk about to people who have not experienced this depression, where you go to bed can't sleep have very bad thoughts (suicidal) what difference would it make if I took all the tablets the pressure would stop for me but then pass it to everyone else.
I find it hard to talk to my family about how I feel although I know they are all worried about me.
I dreed the post as its all bills as I now only get SSP I feel its all coming in on top of me.
I used to love driving but I dont feel quite right in the car I know my reactions are not the same. Some days I dont get dressed I dont want to wash in fact I dont want to do anything infact while I'm typing this I am struggling to concentrate . Thanks to anyone who reads this.

Thank you for replying first of all , it gave me some confidence in thses tablets I can feel an effect of these straight away they make me feel a bit dizzy and heady also Im getting palpatations but having read the paperwork this is normal.
With my work I simply dont want to go back there as they have caused this stress and depression that Im suffering with now , this has been going on for a year, I was only diagnosed by my GPin April, I cant even attend a meeting with them the thought of that makes me feel physically sick but I will master this one day

I am on Sertraline and Propranolol and I find they are both helping alot. I feel alot better and am in the process of getting another job that has been offered to me with someone else and its more flexible. I am going to go for it, although I worry still that perhaps I am not ready, that is only a fear that comes with anxiety and I will not let it take over my life and control me any longer.
Do what is right for you.
