      Started with depression last year, but i think that it has been coming on for a long time. Hopefully with the help of the anti-depressants i will somehow get my life back on track

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      At first i was only on one a day and i didnt seem to be noticing any difference, but i am now on two a day and i think they may be starting to kick in
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I have a few friends in particular that have been very supportive, they have definately helped me through my really bad days
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I have had a few sessions with a councillor to help me a long with positive thinking, i can see that it could help, but its just putting it into practice

    • Open Thrombocytopenic Purpura

      I found out that i had itp when i was pregnant with my first child 16 years ago, since then i have had regular blood tests, it averages at 40, but has dropped to about 20 before.

      Treatments

      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Been on courses of it at various stages in my life and it has temporarily raised my platelet count.
    • Open Family Issues

      Dont quite know where to start, had unhappy childhood,not very nice dad, absolutely fantastic brother, but he moved away last year, that left me really unhappy, thats when the really serious depression kicked in. He was the only other person in my life who really understood what it had been like for us growing up, he was my rock. We have had a lot of other issues in our family, but the good thing is, is that it has made me even more determined to make sure my children always feel loved x
