Hi
since I have been back at work (and changed roles) I have struggled with depression and anxiety
I have been started in anti depressants by my GP
has anyone else suffered like this or had counselling and did it help
I got through the treatment ok but struggled with not being well enough to go back to work and realising that the new normal wasn’t the recovery I was expecting. I found talking to other people at Maggie’s monthly support group sessions very helpful as they all knew exactly how I was feeling as they’d been through it all.
you will find a way through it, just need to process it and concentrate on positives.
good luck to you x
I continue to struggle mentally and emotionally. I don't think that the festive time of year helps at all. So often, I look at others and imagine how happy their lives must be (however untrue). It just seems that way. I'm on an anti-depressant now, however, so far, there have been no noticeable results. I hope the struggle ends for you very soon, Xxnataliexx. Best of luck.
