Depression

Not meaning to piss on your/her parade Tommy, but I'd bet my bottom dollar this mood won't last and is temporary, just from how long you've been talking about how bad she is.

Is it fixable? For sure.

I'm glad the weekend away helped, it can definitely make her more relaxed, but I feel this is temporary.

I'm speaking from experience here.

Fingers crossed she gets better bit by bit [emoji1]

Oh I know mate, therein lies my dilemma.

It's pretty much going to be this way the rest of my life, albeit slightly better if she puts more things in place that can likely help.

I just don't know if I can do it for the next 40 odd years.

Did have a diagnosis.

Was prescribed Prozac, had had CBT prior (ED), and some therapeutic intervention during and after.

Didn't take into account rising alcohol intake + subsequent drug use.

Stopped Prozac when I decided that alcohol was probably causing more depression than the medication was treating.

Various therapy, now have a 'med free' approach. Interesting to get to know your own moods, life has it's ups and downs. I guess I don't want to waste my life, I did enough of that in my drinking/drugging date and daren't let myself go down the 'depression' road which I know is there if I want to go down it. Did have a bit of a relapse a short while ago, pressure of competing, the battle I have with the diet etc and life in general. Once I emerged from it it felt as if the reset button had been pressed.

Support and the right connections, with the right people I think makes a difference.

I know that we are all different, especially in our mind set (Deep shit) I've been on Prozac for 18yrs. I know from experience I cannot come off this wonderful substance...I'm not advocating this drug. It has made my life worth living tbh. I attempted to come off fluoxetine (Prozac) but had no chance. Honestly, I sought out a very expensive Psychiatrist and was sent to the Priory, Cheadle.

Not sure why I'm responding to your comment lol...Just happy to read you are off the meds...
 
Well I'm 99% better chaps, fuck knows what that was really, well a mixture of things I was too run down to handle..

Shouldn't really touch equapoise again unless my heads in a good place, as I've run it twice before and didn't feel like disappearing.

No problem. Yes I'm aware of the cost of the Priory, I went for a look around when I was trying to sort out my drinking.

Prozac worked very well for me initially, and I was receptive because I'd previously had therapy, so to me it sounded logical. Later it became obvious I was p'ing it down the drain, and I had bigger problems influencing me.

During my Psychotherapy training I've actually learned how little science there is behind Anti-Ds, and that's added to my decision to stay med free. It's not easy whichever path you choose.
 
Just a little update...

A while back my better half got her contraceptive pill changed to the mini pill(I think it is) and has been so so much more balanced.

Could be placebo or sheer coincidence as I don't know enough about the correlation between the pill and setraline but it's like living with a different person.

100% the pill fucks people's head up mate. My Mrs can't use it anymore, turns her proper crazy. Both fragile and nutty....

She's a proper jokey person and you can have a laugh with her but as soon as she's on that pill it's like you say anything and she's either crying or wants kill you haha
 
The combined pill contains progesterone and estrogen and which is responsible for many adverse effects. The mini pill only contains progesterone which tends to cause less sides.
