Depressed for a long time and realised obly recently that I need help

Hello everyone

Im 25. On March had really bad car accident. My bf got all the impact. Its second car accident ib 10 months and it was so scary. After tgis event things just got worse constant fear,difficulty to sleep then to wake up,unable to concentrate. Just feeling like second car accident triggered everything. Dont get much support from bf he doesnt even care how I feel. Started taking Citalopram 5 days ago. First couple of days were hard especially in the morning I get up very early scared upset and in fear. Yesterday felt better was doing lots of stuff and today again I can barely move around. Feel hopeless.

Hi vicky,

Sounds like you've had a very bad shock being involved in an accident and it has triggered anxiety symptoms and panic, citalopram will get you back to yourself again but you must have patience and accept the side effects they give you, what your feeling are side effects of citalopram, it gets worse before it gets better, I know it's easier said than done IV been through it myself the fear was horrendous, panic, high anxiety, emotional etc it took me 14 days for the effects to ease on 10mg, stayed on 10mg for 6 weeks, then went on 20mg for 3 months felt better but slightly anxious so I went up to 30mg now been on these for 3 months and feel great, you will too just go with it, much love Chris x
