I've been on mumsnet for years but I don't think I've posted on the mental health boards before. Because I've been trying to convince myself that all is fine.
I've struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I've been on medication for years and I have no intention of trying to stop it, because everything turns to crap when I do.
But I've felt so great for quite a while now, probably a couple of years. I don't think I had shed a tear about anything. In fact just a couple of weeks ago I was actually thinking to myself 'I can't imagine any more what it felt like to feel down. I can't imagine anything that could get me down, even if something awful happened, I wouldn't let it get me down.' I had bags of energy, I was full of plans to change my life, to go back to work (am a sahm), even though it's not really practical to do so.
About ten days ago, everything fell apart. I stopped sleeping. My appetite is crap. I'm struggling to get up, to eat, to function. I'm irritable with my children. All day I'm fighting to hold back the tears. I feel numb. Totally numb. My children are confused and upset, and I feel bad for my dh.
How has this happened? What the hell is wrong here?
