Been on fluoxetine 20mg for just over 3 months. Everything was going well I was feeling good and positive then for some reason I just hit rock bottom again. That was about a month ago. Ever since it has been an emotional roller-coaster of feeling ok for a few days then having a couple of days where I feel like crap. I feel worthless all the time wonder what the hell I'm still doing here. Often I think I'd be better off dead. I hate feeling like this.
I can't talk to friends about it coz they won't understand what a mess my head is. If it wasn't for my little girl I don't think I'd be here anymore.
I have been seeing a counsellor but requested to change as I felt there was no help from him he just sat there. And giving my experience in the past with men in didn't think it was a good idea. I have a new counsellor on Monday 30th. I'm hoping I get somewhere with her
hi gemma. in my opinion counsellors dont work but everyone is different. i am not a talker when it comes to Mental Health...if i have something to say i write it. this has caused trouble in the past, especially on FB. do you know if there was a trigger? something so trivial can cause the most hellish feeling and before you realise, its too late....you are there. and its really tough to get out of that situation because you are fighting against your own sanity sometimes. try writing a few things as a tester to someone you trust, or a best friend, but dont go full on as this may make them run a mile and we dont want that x
Hiya Paul.
Ive heard counsellors don't work but I'm gonna give it a go and see what happens. Im not much of a talker either in usually bottle things. I have a diary that I write in just little bits like what I've done n how I've felt. An idea given to me by a lady I support. Ironically I'm a mental health support worker! I do actually think there was a trigger since I've sat back n thought about it.
Some of the time I think I am there is start having a laugh and a joke but then for no apparent reason I end up feeling low.
I'll give it a go talking to my friend. Thank-you Paul x
wow you really do live in a fine line between your true feelings and your proffesional feeling. fair play, we need more like you. not trying to put a negative approach but you are the kind of person that is very rare. you have this stuff in your own head but you make time to listen to others problems. shrinks try their best and aye ok, they have letters after their name, but to me, if you havent walked in those shoes then, am sorry but you have no idea. well done you x
