Hi there. I haven't been on here for a long time! Been off the antidepressants for about 2 years and been feeling OK for most of that time. Now feeling really down and unable to cope again. My daughter, who is 12, has been ill with fevers, fatigue and severe joint pains for nearly 12 weeks now. We've been going through the stress of getting a diagnosis, which we still don't have.
I know I should be sympathetic and supporting her and my husband, but I really feel useless! She has tried 3 anti-inflammatories, each one either hasn't worked or has given her nausea. I feel so bad tempered all the time, can't sleep and the slightest thing sets me off, either into tears or a tantrum!
I cant believe I can't hold it together when its so important, and I feel guilty for feeling sorry for myself!
Sorry to vent, but I've got no-one I can tell how I'm feeing.
Thanks
Sarah
