Hello everyone.

I have been looking at the forum for a few days now and you all seem very nice.

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in May this year.

It seems to be getting worse not better.

hello and welcome Bella  *()

I think you ought to consider going back to your GP, your medication might need adjusting if you're on any

No need to be nervous, Bella, no one expects anything of you, just enough to know you are finding the Forum helpful.

What Zaf says is right, go back to the GP.  Very often, it needs to get worse before it gets better.  Are you on any medication?

Welcome, Bella

Thank you Catb.

 I am on 40mg Fluoxetine a day. I started on 20mg for a few weeks and then it was upped to 40mg. I saw a locum GP last week and was told to stay on 40mg a day. I have an appointment with my usual GP in a couple of weeks. The locum has also referred me for counselling.

    Hello Bella, You have taken the first step by seeking help. Depression is not well understood by physicians even today, although it's way better than when I was first diagnosed way back in 1972. I was on Prozac for years,and found that most of the ssri's only work for a short time. It can and does get better.
