I have been suffering depression for quite a few years.
Lost my husband and mother in 2011 and thought I was coping but this last few months things have come to a head.

Hi abbie1953
So sorry to hear of your losses.
I lost my partner in May this year, everybody deals with it differently and, I too, thought I was coping but there are times when things just get too much.
I only joined here very recently and the members are very friendly and supportive. I hope it helps you to have somewhere you can "talk" with people going through similar experiences.

Hi abbie1953,
My mum died in 2011 as well. She was asthmatic all her life so I grew up always knowing she was ill but it was still hard when she did die. We didn't have the greatest of relationships but she was still my mum and I loved her.

not all meds are good for everyone, if you are finding the switch hard to handle tell your doc as soon as you can, they may change you back to mirt's or something else.
