Everyone tells me not to worry about work you just need to get well. My wife’s wage looks after all the bills but I still feel like I’m failing them. I’m starting to get frustrated. It’s like I’m right at the edge of the tunnel but just can’t get out over that last edge. I just want to feel my normal self again…</P> Sun, 07 Apr 2024 22:28:45 GMT Theo26 2024-04-07T22:28:45Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/frustrated-with-my-situation/m-p/588704#M53172 <P>About 9 weeks ago I thought my meds weren’t working properly , id been on them for 10 years &nbsp;and I was just starting to get really irritated and stressed hence why I thought they weren’t working, so I went to my GP and we change them which was the biggest mistake I ever made. &nbsp;5 weeks in and I just spiralled into deep depression and anxiety through the roof so I went back on my old meds and my GP gave me something to ease the anxiety and I &nbsp;know they take time to kick in and it’s only my fourth week back on the old ones but I have a family now to support which I feel is a responsibility which elevates my anxiety even more.

I am also the bread winner, so that's just an added stress.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Some days I'm unsure if it's the stress or anxiety that gets me first but I know all too well it isn't fun.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Sounds like you have been through this before, and made it through.
