depression, there's hope!

Hi everyone. I was so convinced I was not depressed and if anyone suggested it I said ‘not me’, how wrong I was! I realised last month, I saw my MS nurse and got very weepy, then a few days later I saw my GP for another reason, Again I got very weepy, and he realised what was wrong. It did help talking, and then he gave me antidepressents (citalopram). This was 4 weeks ago, and now I can feel a big difference already… People have commented that I am almost back to my old self, chatty and laughing again. I have also realised that I was sat all day not moving anywhere or doing anything. Now I am trying to do things (not easy, but I’m trying!). I hope this rings a bell with some of you, and I feel no shame in having to take the tablets. When I mentioned this to my Dad, he wondered why I hadn’t gone on them sooner!

That’s great, Lynne. And so true that other people tend to spot the bloomin’ obvious more quickly than the depressed person does!
