OK so ive posted a few times, I suffer with depression and anxiety/
panic attacks , which come out the blue generally but some days i feel
like i kinda just know im gonna have one ! as feel edgy all day then bam
! No particular triggers , often if works busy , it happens and
yesterday shopping. As for the depression , ive always suffered years
ago was on Venlafaxine then came off when ttc. Manged for 9-10 yrs
without meds. Before xmas went to gp who originally gave breathing
excercises , then went back as no luck and got given Sertraline 50mg.
That didnt really work , and lacked sleep so much so they added
Mirtazipine but gained alot of weigh in a short space of time , so they
then stopped the Mirtazipine and doubled the Sertraline - as you can
imagine the side effects i was suffering waqsnt good and got signed off
work for 6 weeks , the 100mg of Sertaline still no good so he put me on
Venlafaxine , started 75mg then 150 then 225 , 4 weeks into 225mg i
started bruising very badly so had to stop them as its int he very rare
side effects . So 3 approx weeks ago he put me on 20mgCitalorpram then
40mg 4 days later. which im still on , Im between all this i have had
CBT Panic workshop which to be honest hasnt overly helped but then again
i was doing it over the period i was changing meds,
I get down
at things that have happed in the past , things not even my family know
about , domestic violence and being forced to 'do things ' i disdnt want
to do with my 1st proper partner ( if u can call hin that ) then my
childs dad was also a bit ' handy' which we finally split because of it
8yrs ago - my family only knew about the final time not any of the
others he did it , or my partner before . I was then in a happy
relationship for 7 yrs and that ended in feb this yr , ive tried to be
strong about it but i still cant belive its happened.
Last yr i
had an op , which was meant to be day surgery , 3 days in hospital as
was more complicated than thought , , 4 weeks off work - made myself
ill by going bk too soon so had another 3 weeks off ( and the op has not
improved anythign ) , i then had to move house whilst poorly and
couldnt help much ( which i love my new pad just un needed at the time
)
On top of all that , my child has behavioral issues and i just
feel do drained from life . I work p/t as on my own so cant do much
more , work are good as had alot of time off but i knwo ppl talk about
me , i can just imagine it ' oh shes off again ' ;what for now ' ( not
many know the real reason )
Just realised im babbling but i
have no one to talk to , just wanted to know the next step after cbt - i
have a telephone apt with a phyc pratitioner this week just dont knwo
what to expect ( and one of my triggers is talking in the phone :? )
