Hello,

I've been diagnosed with moderate depression (again!) and have just started taking antidepressants. I went to the docs cos I was tired all the time and generally fed up with it but I didn't think I was feeling depressed - did a questionnaire thingy and turns out I am depressed.

Gillette - I totally understand what you're saying about the manyana attitude - I just don't care about anything at the moment, I don't see the point of doing anything, even things I normally love like making cards, watching a match or x-stitching.

Did anyone else feel worse after starting the ADs? I wasn't as low last week as I am now. I've only been on the tablets a week and am more tired, achey, nauseous and down than I was before taking them.

I'm back at the docs tomorrow so I'll see what happens then.

Hugs to all and thanks for reading.

Welcome roversbabe :T ...........................


I think anyone should give ADs at least two month,maybe longer to get in your system properly,and yes you can have unwelcome side efects to begin with,you got to give them time.Obviously if somethings bothering you concerning them then speak to doc about it.All the things you are feeling are pretty normal in the early days for some.Big hugs to you.

Thanks - I was worried about feeling worse than before I started taking them. was a bit scared by it

7 exams down now only 4 more to go. Todays exam went really well, i think i've done well on it. Saw some poor girl hyperventelating afterwards though, poor lass.

Hope you're all doing well!

Hi Allie

Yes I felt worse after starting my meds. In fact, I felt terrible but it does get better. I have to admit that I stopped taking mine because I felt exhausted all the time and constantly yawning. I was on mine two months. It is NOT recommended that you stop taking them though.

I have been feeling so bad lately. I have no-one to talk to. My head is constantly aching. My self-harming is quite bad, my wrist is a complete mess. I've also overdosed again, not hugely but given my past history it's obviously not good. I'm such a waste of space.

Bloody hell RBK, I hate to read this stuff you're doing.
Can't you get help, come on here more, break the cycle somehow.
You are a beautiful person and I hate to think you are doing these things to yourself.

You have people to talk to..........US

Please don't feel you have no-one to talk to, even if it's just us here, we will surely listen - whatever it is you need to talk about. (((hugs)))

You're not a waste of space at all. Try and stay positive and like gillette said "Your a beautiful person".

Please try not to harm yourself, I know it's easy to say, but you need to break the cycle. Keep talking to us, as sharing your feelings will help. Feel free to PM me.

Hey rose07,

Ive been in similar sitatuions recently with going to interviews while feeling depressed/anxious. Ive just started reading this board so i dont really know ur story.

Remember that an interview is for both sides. Its a good opportunity for you to decide whether the job is for you. Will the position suit you?

I dont know if this will help you or not, it helps me sometimes to think like this.

Hi westclok

Nice to meet you

How are you?

Yeah, i seen to get ill really easily atm. Was having heart palpatations last night so wasnt sleeping, i was at a friends house as well, and they didnt know what to do, poor thing, but main thing is i controlled my breathing.

Basic thing bout me is I suffer from PTSD, Depression, OCD but am on the mend

The interview was fine in the end, It was an interview with the guy from the job centre, lovely guy, he helps people who have been unwell get back into emplyment. I could have a job next week if i want, workin at the hospital helping people, doing reception work, etc.. But dont know what i want atm lol :rotfl:

Thanks

xx
