Just feeling over it

[Poppet_darling]

So I’m 31. 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.

Hello Poppet_darling

Welcome and thankyou for being a part of the Beyond Blue forums!

There is no judgement on the forums Poppet only the best support we can provide to you. The forums are also a Safe place for you to post too 🙂

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)

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

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

This is my 36th year with diagnosed anxiety/depression

I really hope you can stick around the forums Poppet! I joined Beyond Blue when I was made redundant in early 2016 from a senior corporate role. There are many super kind people that can be here for you

my kind thoughts for you Poppet
