Hi Everyone

I am new to the forum.   I have suffered from depression for many years after losing my hubby at 40yrs.  Since then there have been other events which have been devastating for me and I am feeling at the lowest I have ever been at the moment.  I have very good friends, but they don't really understand how bad I feel.

Looking forward to speaking you all. x

Hi Suze welcome to the forum, ask your Dr for and explanation of why you cannot have CBT, unfortunately if may be the old NHS postcode lottery.  I have had CBT for 8 months, I have been having a difficult time and when they re-tested there was little improvement in my scores..  Now i must go and see Phychiatrist as i should be getting better, I have all the understanding, but may need a change of meds.  Sorry I can't be of more help.  Take care
