Depression creeping back

[SLRP]

Hi, I am new to this. So bare with me.
I am aged 32 and mother of three boys aged 7,8 and 9. My depression started after my third child, my mother - in-law picked out up and told my husband to help me. I have always felt like I was being left out of things by friends, feel like things are my fault and being inadequate.

I started medication back in 2014/2015. I then stepped down my dose in 2018. November 2020 I went down again after showing to my doctor as I was doing really well. From December 2020 I had weened off medication completely. Everything was going well until my dad passed away in mid February 2021. Ever since then things have been getting me down. Those feeling of inadequacy and being left out have been coming back.

I don't know if I should go back onto my medication or just ride it out.

Hi SLRP, I'm a newbie too, but it seems like you are going through a really tough time right now and would need extra support. Im also sorry to hear about your feelings of inadequacy that would be getting you down. Maybe the first step would be to speak to your GP about what's going on? Is that something you would be comfortable doing?
