Hi.

Basically the problem is this.

The pattern of my depression has always been frequent and fairly mild (Ie. Maybe once a month for about 2 days). But recently it has been less frequent but alot stronger (Lasting for as long as 2 months at a time). I used to be able to handle it but now i can't. I fly off the wall over stupid little things, i get angry with everyone i sleep almost all the time when i am not at work and i daren't even consider going out.

Everything seems to trigger me, the main trigger seems to be news articles about child abuse, although i have never been physically or sexually abused. I just don't understand it. And i seem to get alot of unconcious triggers too, ones that i don't even know i have been triggered untill it hits.

I still don't have the confidence to go and see a doctor. I was just wondering if anybody else has had this happen to them? and if so do you eventually find a way of coping? I was able to cope when the bouts were fairly mild but i am finding that i am loosing control more and more everyday.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.
