Hi. Pretty average to be honest. The Doctor did say for the first two weeks taking Citalopram you may feel worse. He was right.... 4days in and I feel very unmotivated and sluggish, my parents are upset trying to find out why I am quieter and not eating much- I haven't told them anything and...

Yes, thank you I did read that. Really appreciate your advice. It's so nice to 'talk' to people for a change. It also felt quite good to chat to the doctor today- as I haven't and have never and spoken to anyone about my what I'm feeling before.... and I have been down and depressed for a very...

He has been my doctor for ever. He asked what I thought about medication because he said if I don't want it he won't give it to me. It is Citalopram. He has also sent me for a blood test to see if I'm lacking in anything

So, I went to the doctor today and he said that he believes I have anxiety issues and a mild depression too. He said they often go hand in hand. He has prescribed me an anti-depressant drug, told me to exercise more often and and advised me to seek a councillor.

Thanks good idea. However I am already in a form of tertiary education. P. S. I have booked an appointment with the doctor in a couple of days time.

Any more thoughts people?

Its pretty irresponsible from to be one of those people that just say "do it" and "you will be fine" and such, and I can't impose my world view on you. BUT my kiwi friend , theres a thread around here somewhere that people posted their biggest regrets, and if you look into it you will see that...

Thanks for replying. .....Because I've got no one to tell. I don't have that sort of relationship with my parents and don't have good friends to share with not that I could tell them. For me it is hard. What have I got to lose? well nothing to lose but plenty of ridicule, shame and...

Hi all I am having a helpful Private message chat with a member but thought I would post my reply here to gain a few thoughts. No my problems don't seem to come from anywhere, anyone or any one thing. As far as I can remember I have been self-conscious about everything. I am a nervous person...

So I went out with some work mates today for a good day out- It was really good I knew it would be I just stressed like buggery before hand as usual. "ok so I have to be there at Xam and I have to travel this far so I'm going to have to leave at Xam... but I don't want to be first or last so I...

Thanks for the reply so far Taken on board. The thing(s) I like doing is my full time job which I guess is a bit rare but it gives me a sense of purpose and belonging. Unfortunately it isn't the sort of job you can bring home with you and carry on with. Although I stated I still live at home...

Yes please

Hi all- new to this site. I am a 22 year old male Living in NZ. I don't really know what I want out of posting this but it seems like its a good idea to just throw it all out there and see what comes back. Where to begin... I have zero self confidence, I am an anxious person, I have little...
