[QUOTE="weeezer, post: 381739, member: 41342"] First off, virtual (((((hug)))))) I have been against anti depressants forever, thought there are far better ways to address problems. Won't go into it, but have had a tough and fairly stressful few years. Have been offered ad's on a few occasions by docs, always refused. I wasnt depressed, just always anxious and worried about health. Tried counselling and a cbt anxiety course, both v helpful. But found myself there again recently, but this time in a more desperate way. Had a huge panic attack out of nowhere and was extremely shocked and embarrassed at the time (was catching up with a friend I hadn't seen for years! Bad timing or what!). Ended up a complete wreck at docs surgery. Anyway, this time, I accepted the help of anti-depressants, unwillingly but desperately. Honestly? I didn't expect much, but this is my 5th week on them, and I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel I've been stuck in. I've actually enjoyed my day today, it's the only day I get child free (up to 330 anyway! Big one @school, little one @preschool) and I have dreaded it, the thought of being alone - and in this weird mind set, awful. So, my advice, accept help if its offered. Wish i had ages ago. You have been through a lot. I never had a problem being diabetic for years, but it takes it's toll. That's not to say you can't be in control, but sometimes it's overwhelming. Which adds to it all! You are not alone! Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
