Hey there I am 26 and currently having what I call a mid 20s crisis, I have been through a lot in the last few years and few months and it has taken my toll on me, 2 weeks ago I went to my doctors for help, my gp referred me for counselling I had one call from them within the week advising me they will be in touch two - three weeks time, this weekend I have really struggled my head feels heavy and numb, I can't physically do anything, it's affecting my job and for the first time in my life I look in the mirror and hate myself, right now I feel tired all the time and just hopeless.

My gp gave me a 7 day sick note die to my work being very stressful and a months supply of citalopram 20mg to take once daily, I have been advised to take these at night to try due to the side effects

I just want to ask if anyone else has felt the numbness I feel? And has anyone been on this medication before?

Thank you
