I have suffered from depression since I was 14 and have had a few bad spells over the years. But now I've nearly destroyed my 4 year relationship as I developed paranoia and severe panicking. I couldn't let my partner breathe and now he needs a week apart. He has always been so understanding and amazing he really is my rock but I have hurt him so much through this paranoia the guilt is eating me up. My doctor said I have developed bad anxiety which created the paranoia and took me off my citalopram to a drug which is tailored to fight depression and anxiety and he days they feed off each other. Sometimes I feel giving up would be easier although I would never leave the man I love and think I'm only thinking this as I wait for tablets to kick in. How do you all cope with thsee feelins? I'm a student and can't afford counselling does anyone know any free online? I'm trying to fight this but it's so hard
Yes I have found online chats for mental health keep googling for that. It is through volunteers.
i sure hope you feel better soon. I get paranoid with my anxiety too and it's awful.
hang in there I'm sure no great damage has been done..another thing about anxiety we tend to blow things out of proportion
Hi Leanne if you dont mind me asking what new medication are you taking what is more tailored to fight depression and anxiety? Thanks so much.
Hi Leanne
Hwo long were you on citalopram and how long have you been on the new meds (and what is it). I would suggest that perhaps space apart, although it hurts, may save your relationship. If you combat this on your own for a little while, ride out the side effects, and come back to him feeling better you will work this out I'm sure. He sounds like a great guy, but you must think of number one for a little while. Very important
