Where do i start!
Hi! I'm G & i'm 51 years old, married with two grown up children one aged 21 and one aged 22. I've been on citalopram 10mg when my first bout of depression started in 1995 ish. I don't know how it started, maybe all the things which have happened over the years ie my parents passing away one in 1993 and one in 2000. Also i became type 1 diabetic in 1993 ish.
So here goes! My latest is probably financial We have a very heafty mortgage. We've been talking about it for sometime now and now and again the "we'll have to move house to a cheaper one" crops up. My DD was on a works programme and started a job in May and she came home on a Wednesday a couple of weeks ago to say she's got to finish on the 31st August because they can't afford to keep the admin assistants on. She's back on her works programme now. My DS is also without a job. So i went downstairs on the Thursday am and there'e my hub ripping all the wallpaper off in the utility room, he's apparently going through a room at a time to get the house ready for selling and us moving. It's all too much for me atm, he's going at it to fast, i can't take it, we live currently in a 4 bed detatched. So this is when all my depression set back in and i've never felt so low as i did last time (1995). A really good friend came with me into the GPs, she waited in the waiting room while i went in to see the GP who has said I can go up to 20mg citalopram. I'm having terrible mood swings, up then down, tears, making nasty comments to my hub ie when he asks does this "new" wallpaper look nice.
Btw it's our silver wedding in a couple of weeks time and we're going to Lanzarote. At this rate 25yrs will be over because of how i am atm.
I hope i've joined the right place. I don't know who's who on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
