It hasn't worked and I know I shouldn't have come off the pills.I don't want to come across as a scrounger. I want to be better but feel rotten at times.

One day I am up and ok, next day I can feel suicidal and have told my doctor ages ago. I just get pills. I had a short course of counselling but nothing came of that.

Whatever you do you really should go back on the medication, I've been in the same situation, came off meds but like you say went back downhill very quickly, I don't like being on them, but its better than feeling suicidal like you say.

Speak to your doctor and tell them everything, they deal with this sort of thing everyday.

I've always worried about having my child taken off me, but there's no reason to just because you suffer from depression. My child is the one thing that keeps me going! and the cats... lol, but never feel like you are alone or the only one feeling like this.

I'm not sure how well I am going to cope with all the changes either, but have a few months to go yet.

I'd love to be normal one day too, but then what is normal? I don't know many people that don't have some sort of issues! :rotfl:
