I have a diagnosis of depression and anxiety.
however I do not feel depressed. I don’t feel happy...ever. But I don’t feel suicidal. I can get enjoyment from certain things such as going to the park with my Son. Generally I feel numb, nothing.
‘My main symptoms are:
complete exhaustion from the moment I wake up. I feel like I’m made of a great weight and even moving my body is a chore.
‘Persistent memories of my Brothers death. I had to identify his body when I was 15. He had committed suicidal and his body was disfigured from his death. This image enters my head several times a day.
an inability to remember appointments or perform any duty that’s needed of me. Memory problems. I forgot two appointments for esa and had to rebook. Any demand on me causes extreme stress and worry even something as simple as being asked to make a phone call.
I live in a bubble where even getting dressed feel like an impossible task some days.
maybe I do have depression. I never used to. I was a happy, high-flying person before I got postnatal depression when my son was born. The depression has improved since being on sertraline but the side effects meant I had to come off it. I have been off it weeks now and feel no different in mood since coming off.
i was privately diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome but failed the NHS assessment.
‘I feel like I’ve had a mental breakdown. Like my head has simply exploded and can no longer ‘re-boot’. I’ve had a diagnosis of depression but don’t feel this describes me at all.
my gp never seems concerned about me and I know I come across well. My counsellor admitted I seem so well until she got to know me.
can anyone shed any light onto what might be happening to me. Has anyone experienced something similar to me?
