    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Split just before Xmas '07 with Partner of seven years. One child who is four.Over the past few years many up's and downs, but many good times too. Hurt each other a lot.My Partner & Daughter have moved out & i am struggling to cope with my emotions at the moment. Up & down, can't stop crying sometimes but putting brave face on for my Daughter. Just need some support & not sure where to turn.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Suggested by myself whilst in relationship but ex. partner reluctant/would not go.
      Leave Considering
      One child in area who lives with Mum (my ex.), work, pet's & this make this not really an option at the moment. I wish i could get away, no close friends nearby & due to mood am scared to go away on my own.
      Music Not Working
      Used to love music but very similar tastes to ex., become very emotional so have not really bothered.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Making another request for this with Doctor, Counsillor told me that it was 'normal' to feel this way & i would be 'fine'.
      Reading Not Working
      I used to love to read but have very little attention span at the moment.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Very supportive Mum & Dad, Sisters, no close friends in area so very lonely.
      Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
      Have found this site very helpful at times,have struggled to find any local support in my area.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Finding this site has allowed me to vent but sometimes feels like the words don't mean anything.
      Time Not Working
      Seem to find it harder as each day goes by. I was very hopeful at first that all three of us would be ok, but i feel that as time goes on i am going backwards rather than moving on, just can't seem to let go.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Suffered from depression on & off for years, been hospitalised twice within two years in my 20's, came to accept over the last 7/8 yrs that it was probably something i would always have & felt like it was mainly under control. Split with Partner of 7yrs in Dec. '07, have struggled to cope since New Year, very very dark thoughts in last couple of weeks. Very scared & feeling alone.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      On & off treatments for last few years, my Counsillor said that because i have an 'acceptance' of my illness & am aware of the symptoms etc. i just needed to continue medication.
      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Helped over a period of time several years ago. Nausea at first but was a helping hand.
      Positive Thinking Not Working
      Am trying so hard, can focus at times but is getting harder.
      Prozac Not Working
      Tried on Prozac a few years ago, did not work, led to worse deppression.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Making another request for this as last time i was told by the Counsillor that my Depression was 'normal' due to my relationship breakdown & just to continue with the medication & i would be 'fine'
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Very supportive Family, however, feel very guilty as i feel like i am just a burdon at times. No close friends apart from one who works away a lot & who i rarely see.
      Trazodone Not Working
      Tried Trazadone also several years ago, felt very groggy & 'out of it', but still felt very anxious.
