I'm glad to here you are goin to the doctors for help. this is the 1st step. admitting there is something wrong. I myself wouldnt admit there was anything wrong, not even to myself until it was almost too late. I tryd to pretend i was fine. but everyone knew i wasnt. I spent days at a time in bed, then totally flip and couldnt sleep for days, lost interest in everything, I couldnt b around my kids (any1 that knows me, this is definatly not me) i would cry all day, everytime my partner would come and try to talk to me, i would scream at him 4 no reason. This was the darkest & lowest point for me. I went to see my gp, she was wonderful. i was so ashamed and embarrased to tell any1. It was so hard for me to explain how i was feeling. She (gp) put me staight onto a course of anti-depressants. I had to go back and see her (gp) everyday for a week. She wanted to monitor me as i was having suicidal thoughts. I am doing wonderful now (althought its been a long and hard road). Im still taking the tablets. For the 1st month i had every side affect possible,. The amount of times i considered stop taking the tablets because i was so ill due to the side affects. ive been seeing a wonderful psychiatrist as well, that is really helping me deal with everything, and ways in which to cope.

Stick in their, the sun will come out from behind the clouds, and brighten your life again. Good Luck with everything. If you ever need to just chat, or a friendly ear to listen i'll always be here. Drop me a line sometime soon and let me know how you go with everything.

Hi, I was diagnosed with Major Depression (unipolar) a few years ago. Luckily I have come through it and made it out the other side in one piece!

Glad to see you are going to the drs.

My symptoms were similar to yours but my heart used to race for no reason especially in public. I felt like I had been lost and didn't belong in society. Glad I got help and feel MUCH better now :o)

Take care Txx
