Depression Creeping Back In?
Question by Jen: Depression creeping back in?
I suffered from severe depression for a year, but in the past 6 months, since a change in medication, I’ve been feeling a lot better. I just started a new job and it’s very stressful at the minute and I can feel my “warning symptoms” of depression creeping back in. I’m irritable and tearful, and I want to just curl up in bed all the time. I know these are signs that my depression isn’t well controlled right now, but I don’t know what to do about it.
How can I fight this so that I don’t end up really low again? I don’t think I could go through it all again, but I’m really worried that if I don’t do something NOW, I’ll spiral back down into that dark pit again. What should I do to stop that happening?

Talk to your doctor, or mental health nurse, whoever you normally see.
Dont be afraid to admit how you are feeling. They are there to help you. You have admitted to yourself and everyone else that you are beginning to feel low again, you know you need to get the help to stop falling, Please go and seek it
You are stronger now, you CAN get back up to where you were,
You have proved this to yourself and others.
