Hi I'm new to this forum and have just read through some of people's chat.....
I am 48 and have suffered depression on and off for years, but every time I have a " blip".... It seems a bit worse than the last.....
I was on citralopram last 5+ years and all last year I wasn't firing on all cylinders.... From around October when weather changed I dipped faster..... Went to doc and also explaining I was having flushes etc I was put on low dose hrt..... Also changed my ad,s to mirtazapine45mg.... My mood dipped and dipped..... Christmas was awful!!!
Fast forward two weeks into new year and I also got beta blockers.... Started seeing councillor (she told me of this site).....
Last week I was on my knees struggling: crying, wanting to stay in bed, struggling to hold it together at work, etc etc.......and the constant churning in my stomach.... Even going to loo was an effort.....
I usually love to have a laugh, a blether shop etc......but just now I feel I'm sinking, my councillor advised this forum, and it all seems familiar.....I just want to be "me"
