I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety before and I was medicated in the past. I stopped that to try a different approach that had been working. Lately I’ve found that the challenging days have become a lot closer together and are harder to pull myself out of, so I guess it’s not working all that well. I’m not sure right now if what I feel is the black dogs presecnce in my life or if this is something different. There are a lot of things going on that I feel I’m not happy with (work situation and home stuff). But I’m not in a position where those things can be changed. I feel like I’m stuck in a situation I really don’t want to be in and I can’t get out. I really want to talk and have someone actually listen to what I have to say. I don’t want to be made to feel like I’m part of the problem. </P> Wed, 29 Aug 2018 07:07:29 GMT Poppet_darling 2018-08-29T07:07:29Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/just-feeling-over-it/m-p/363834#M17518 <P>So I’m 31.

The forums are also a Safe place for you to post too <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P>I dont know what your current situation is that you are stuck in. I do understand being stuck in a situation though where it started to have an effect on my day to day well being (my relationship and family court in the 90's)</P> <P>I used to have chronic anxiety for nearly 15 years and like yourself it took meds and a good GP + counselor to help me find my way out of that awful place</P> <P>May I ask if you have a GP (or counselor) that you can lean on? As you know this is crucial when we are stuck...I still see my GP every month for a fine tune</P> <P>This is my 36th year with diagnosed anxiety/depression</P> <P>I really hope you can stick around the forums Poppet!
