I've not been on site for a while and I couldn't believe this discussion. Thanks guys.
I've just been diagnosed as having depression and anxiety and have been put on Fluoxitine (prozac).Looking back it seems I've had this for years not just months and no-one realised. I've had terrible mood swings, irritability and anger, (over silly things),unable to ocncentrate on anything properly, feelings of being unreal and yes I have thought about taking a bottle of asprin or something like it. I've also had insomnia, lack of concentration, unable to make the simplest decissions. I only started treatment last Thursday but I feel better already. The doctor said it would take a couple of weeks for the medication to kick in properly. I know I've a long way to go but it's a start. Long may it continue.
It's so good to know I'm not alone in this.
