Hi everyone. not done this before, so not really sure what to say......
Im 23, and I have suffered with depression for several years now on and off. i've never needed any medication or formal support to get myself through it, but the last few months have been really hard for me and i feel like im in a downward spiral that i cant get out of. Im finding it increasingly difficult to get out of bed in the morning, and this week have come home early from university twice because i was so tired i couldnt stay. I cant concentrate on anything and my lecture notes have been non-existent. Not much good with an exam next week. (wouldnt be so bad if i hadnt failed it once already and get thrown off the course if i dont pass this time) the way i feel now i might as well not turn up for it. Im not eating properly, feeling lightheaded and dizzy and ive nearly fainted in work.
im not really in contact with my family anymore and i live with my partner, my mother in law and father in law (if you like! i call them mam and dad.) my mother in law is in hospital so my partner and family have other things on their mind than me and they dont seem to notice exactly how down i am. everything is getting to me and i can feel how irritable i am. i dont enjoy my hobbies anymore, and my energy level barely allows me to get up, watch tele on the sofa all day and go back to bed.
been to doctors but he told me to go back if i feel worse and he will give me something. im worried about tablets affecting uni and work so i just dont know what to do. dont seem to have anyone to talk to and dont feel anyone will listen- i know people will listen- its the way im feeling..... you know what i mean.
anyway, hope i havent bored everyone with my first post, i just need some like minded people to talk to, people who understand. Thanks guys,
