had a bad day

Hi

I have been sitting in for the past three days as I don’t work and have A toddler and baby to look after so days do get repetitive, so today I got up, got dressed and I just can’t face going outside. I know I should because it’ll make me feel better but even looking out the window is giving me anxiety. It’s raining and miserable but here I am feeling terrible for not wanting to go out. I’m on sertraline for anxiety and post Natal depression, been on them 5 weeks at 50mg and 1 week at 75mg please tell me this does get easier?

  • Hi there. How are you doing now? I have had a bad day today and have problems with depression too. For me things go up and down... well I have bipolar, so that fits.

    I think that the hardest time in my life was when I had young children, so for me it has got better now they are older - 13 and 19.

    For me also this time of year is really tough - and I think that things do get better for me once the winter has passed.

    Anyway, I hope you are doing okay. I hope that since 6 days you have managed to do something nice for yourself and that you are feeling better.
