    Hi everyone hope you are all having a great day!! I went to see my GP today told him the AD's I was taking (Citalopram 20mg) and they were not helping me and made feel drowsy quite often. I got prescribed Sertraline 50mg so hopefully they will have more of a positive effect than my previous AD's, has anyone been prescribed this particular AD before? I'm a little nervous trying a new AD and any side effects they might have on me so advice or experiences anyone had would be of great use! Take care everyone.

    Hey williamo :) I don't have any experience with Sertraline, but just wanted to say welcome :)
    If you look on the Patient website, you can search you any medication and people add comments on how it was for them - that might be worth looking at.
    Hope you have more luck with them, take care and stick around if you like!

    Sorry but I am at the end of my tether

    I can't stop crying today

    You see all the lovely Christmas stuff and it makes you feel all loving. You may think, lucky me, I have a family to share it with - bulls**t!!

    My husband says he cares etc but backs off sexually (emotionally). It has only been since we have been married. I married for it all. I don't want to look for someone else to make up for his faults.

    My self esteem is at rock bottom when he does this, life is a pile of poo, then his nonsense at the end of the day. There is no pleasure. I have been able to endure it but I can't take any more.

    I am supposed to be getting ready to go out shopping and be happy. How can I be happy with him?, the way he hurts me with his come here, go away behaviour. I don't want him seeing me like this. I used to let him see my like this, then he would be all loving but only once I reach rock bottom, never when I feel good or OK. I can't go on like this any more. It is sick and it's driving me mental. I used to think it was my fault but I have done everything I can and he still does this.

    I spoke to my mother and she isn't taking me seriously, she has a 'yes dear' attitude and I will be lonely if I leave. What have I got to lose, I hate this house and feel worse than lonely now. I have the downside of being with people annoying me and none of the pleasures. I might as well be alone and enjoy the peace.

    I want to end it all one way or another.

    I am so sorry to hear how you are doing. I wish I could take you out for a coffee and give you a hug (if I'm near I will if you want). The fact that you can still post on here is a good sign. Put some music you love on or a video. Music is my salvation when I feel at the bottom. Is there someone you trust enough to have some contact with - if you can face it? I don't know if you are under someone (medical - lol) but this does sound extreme and you shouldn't be left to deal with it.

    It sounds like a wild ride you're having girl!
    I think some people there need a kick. But you have great spirit and I can tell it will get sorted. Good Luck.

    It must be hard to feel alone yet be with people and I send you a hug. I'm not much good at the advice malarkey so I'll just say that you sound quite capable and I'm sure you are strong enough to sort out your problems.

    Miro - I wish you luck mate. It sounds like I went out with a similar but less extreme version of your g/f. It is a very difficult thing to deal with. I'm not sure it's possible (wasn't in my case) but maybe you can succeed where I failed. Never forget your own worth, no-one can just be a giver in the long term. Relationships need you both to have a turn being the needy one.

    Thank you mate. I'm in a more numb frame of mind today. Not depressed as much as daunted today. I feel like a day off from worrying if that's possibe. I will go back to brum on Saturday to visit family - I like doing that. I'm waiting for the dole forms to arrive so I'm not sure how long I can stay up there tho.

    Tiff
    Thank's for the welcome back - not a good thing tho is it lol.
    Well done with the not drinking. Cheers.

    philippa36, elona, geminilady, sazbo - Big thanks and hugs to you all.

    and fg
    I care about you and will be happy if you are happy xx


    I feel like driving round the counrty distributing hugs to you all.

    Today i'm feeling 'healthy', its not a can't get dressed day, its a don't want to get dressed day. Sounds like a small difference, but is actually a big difference :)

    I don't think I'll ever understand relationships, mine or anyone elses. Just gotta go with the flow and see what happens, all we can do.

    :grouphug:
    I don't want to get dressed because the rows and tension makes me all dirty again. It is a waste of time trying to look good when I stay in. He only brings me down again. Anything I do to improve myself and feel good about myself, results in him spoiling it and upsetting me. No matter what I do, it happens.

    I have tried talking to him, I have tried giving him a dose of his own medicine, I have tried ranting and crying. I don't know what else to do!

    Also, I am doing a lot of packing and cooking smelly food. Staying in is one dirty job

    I was going to qualify the drink comment in case you were being ironic.
    I assume everyone on here drinks like a fish - most sound like they do.
    (I am being funny - or trying to be).

    I'm going to make the odd slip as I don't really know any of you. I could go back to page 1 and read it all.
    Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair. Boys are gonna hate the way I seem.

    I would rather drown with you than watch the surf with someone else
