Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate your time.

I do take myself off when it happens at home. At work it's more difficult to be missing for more than a few minutes.

When I'm home I try & get out and go for a walk or come up to my room. Unfortunately my family don't understand why I need that time and either one of them insists on coming out with me & talking all the time which is the last thing I need, or I get accused of hiding away which just adds to the stress. The truth is they don't understand because I don't know how to explain it to them. Even explaining the effects of depression was met with what felt like almost a lack of belief.

I think I will make an appointment to see my Dr maybe they can help, or at worst maybe it'll help me explain things to my family.

Thank you all again. Sending you all warm wishes ��
