Hi everyone
My name is Charley, I’m 26 years old and I live in the lovely county of Buckinghamshire
I have been experiencing depression on and off since the age of 13. I have had several attempts at therapy and medication which I haven’t stuck to for reasons such as shame, guilt and for several years, simply having a death wish.
My depression seems to stem from a lot of sources, mainly my family. A few months ago, I was in a very bad place and I went to the doctor who put me on 20mg of Prozac a day. I felt awful from about day 2. I could barely move, had no energy to do anything and suffered from very intense nightmares.
I decided to just stop taking the pills which I now realise was a mistake but I am afraid to go back on medication like that again as I am afraid of not being able to function and worried that my family and friends will notice.
I can’t maintain any kind of romantic relationship because of how I feel and I find it hard to speak to people about it. I’m sure a lot of people here can relate when I say that I’m worried people will turn around and ask what have I got to be so depressed about.
I’ve joined this site to find people who can relate and I can talk to when things are up and down
