dear Rochan, good on you for posting your comment.
My own belief is that when you have anxiety then you have depression, I know that either of these have their own section on the website, but this whole point of Beyond Blue is to tackle problems that people have, so all the sections are under the same umbrella, I maybe wrong and accept that.
You need a doctor who you can relate to, someone who likes a joke, when you feel well, someone who is interested in your condition and definitely will go overboard to help you, but this isn't happening, however the medication could be the right choice, but you need more than this.
Click onto 'Get Support' at the top of this page and search for a doctor who maybe able to help you, as these doctors work specifically with BB and handle people with any type of depression.
The other option is to ring BB also at the top and speak with them.
Certainly the weather can have a definite reaction in how we feel, one day it's hot then next day we need the heater on, plus your friend who he and you like to have yarn, and when he is having an off day, then this will pull you back in how you feel.
I have a psychologist for 20 years, probably more than some marriages, but every time I was with her (not sexually) I felt good, but as soon as I left my world would collapse again, and would always say 'I'll put on my fake face now'.
Has your anxiety been a long term illness, and I am only saying this because they just say to you 'to keep busy'.
Actually being busy would be good, but how can someone who is depressed keep busy, because you just can't even be interested let alone motivated, there's no desire what so ever.
For me I would throw the ball to my little puppie, not the one in this photo but another one I had for 18 years, but this didn't last all that long, and sometimes I would do a bit of painting, but every one is different.
I wish that I could have the energy to go to my shed and ponder away, but I wasn't interested, because that was something I had always loved to do. Geoff.
