Hi im not new as such but not been on here for a while. I have had depression for years and been on and off medication i am at a really low point at the minute dont think i have ever felt so bad. I feel like im on a roller coaster my emotions are all over the place im going from feeling overly happy to seriously low.I have been in this low phase for the past 3 days now and i honestly feel like i am drowning i honestly wish i was brave enough to just end it all. I keep thinking how easy it would be and the thought is getting more and more frequent. i either feel really happy or really bad the in between is just numbness, i cut myself today just to see if i could feel anything and i didnt i really need some help im struggling to cope. I have 2 lovely kids and a great partner but it just doesn't seem like enough any more im struggling to cope with work and am on the verge of being sacked

No i have been off them since December. My Dad was really ill and i was taking care of him and he passed away on new years day then i didnt want the tablets because i didnt want to numb the pain. Ive never felt this way every aspect of my life feels like a stuggle the thought of doing anything makes me feel angry and i cant take time off work to go drs or i wil be fired and im so fed up i just want to stay in bed.

Our surgery has a few very early and late appointments, if yours does I think you really need to consider getting an appointment and going back on meds, losing someone you love is very traumatic (I lost my dad a couple of years ago) and you may well need some help to get over it

I agree. You really should try and get an appointment with your Dr. Ours also has early and late appointments. You have been through an awful time. Loosing your dad was terribly hard, I have also lost my dad. So I do understand. Take care. S x x x x

Thank you for the replies, I had a mini breakdown this morning in work which was very embarrassing and I have had to come home . I have a drs app booked for 11.20 and work have an employee assistance line which my manager made me ring this morning they have arranged 8 sessions of counselling. I'm feeling worse now though as this is a fairly new job I'm still in probation and I'm probably gonna get fired.I'm so tired of feeling this way everything requires such effort. I've really had enough
