Do any of you feel you have too many sick days from your job? I'm undiagnosed so far with my current problem. ... In fact I have an assessment tomorrow.
I had to quit my job in 2014 due to an eating disorder I became too unwell. I overcame that and now I have been on an SSRI for symptoms of what is either depression or bipolar. I am all over the place. The medication has given me the worst side effects. My brain is racing but I can't even remember what i did 5 minutes ago.. I want a diagnosis. Purely because I want to know how to be stable. How to not have so many sick days. I feel so mixed right now. My thoughts are whizzing around my head but also the depression is set in. I don't want to move from my bed. My partner knows my issues but because I can be fine one minute and in bed the next he thinks I'm just lazy...I'm sure of it. I feel like my life is unravelling and I'm not sure how to stop it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk |

When we are in the midst of depression sometimes it can be hard to see the right things to do to help ourselves. I hope you get better soon because I know how hard depression can be.

I was also the victim of this sort of depression where you are in between the thoughts, few thinking said that I am right but few are against on this. Well, in this stage you have to change the environment and soon you will get recover from this depression

I think you should talk to your doc about the side effects. Guilt doesn't help you, and I can definitely understand how it would make you feel like your partner is judging you. Try to have a conversation with him about it and express what is going on with you and your frustration with your situation. He may not be judging you, and ifnhemis, it might help to talk about what is going on. Take care! |

Yeah.... she said she needed somebody more qualified regarding my moods. I called today and they said they still haven't managed to get hold of the lady who is able to do my assessment. I'm feeling quite hopeless and upset by it all.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
