How do you cope ?

[borderbabe]

Hi FA i just wanted to add my good wishes to you. I had a really Cr***py year last year with a redundancy, my aunt died and then in trying to carry out her wishes i fell out with my family and dont think it will ever be patched up. I have been taking antidepressants since August last year. My GP said at least 6 months is the minimum and i didn't like the idea but i have been very much better and have now started to come off them and will be without them by the end of March.

I couldn't have got through last year with my OH - he really saved my sanity on more than one occasion.

I just kept going by saying it will get better - some days were better than others but i just kept at it.

My garden and allotment were a release and somewhere to go and be on my own - I watered the plot with tears many times.

I think i'm over the worst now - its easier said than done but do keep going for your wife and family and the dog!

Hello BB

Thanks for your message. I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through it too. It's really shitty, and some days it just eats away at you and there's just nothing you can do.

I know that there will be good days and bad. I will try to enjoy the good ones and endure the bad ones.

Take care of yourself

FA x
