Your Mental Health

i mightn't have a choice but to go back on the drugs. Depression and Anxiety has gone so bad I'm struggling to leave the gaff. I work from home most days but I really struggle the day I'm in the office.
Appetite gone. I've lost 1.5 stones (although to be honest I needed to lose some weight as i over-bulked).
The meds actually make you worse cause i was nothing like this before I went on them. i actually went on them originally for health anxiety, not depression. But since I came off them I know what depression is. So I really don't want to go back on them but I'm not sure I have a choice.
Would you say that you struggle with the thought of physically having to go to the office and break the routine you have built up, or does the thought of having to interact with other people, make small talk etc, cause more of a struggle?
 
Was at the doctor yesterday. Prescribed a new pill. Took my first dose today.

It's funny we were talking about Xanax yesterday and for the craic I asked him for some and he literally gave me two Xanax! They're literally 3.50 each so quite expensive. He also gave me a sick note for today and tomorrow so enjoying a nice few days off.
And deservedly so. I'm a civil servant but hardly take any sick days. I've worked through COVID twice, chest infections, stret A, etc. The last 2 years I've had 4 uncertified sick days and no certified. So I've only taken 2 sick days per year. Some of my colleagues take the piss and disappear for months on full pay. All you need is a doctor's note. So I feel I deserve this time off.

Good luck with it. Hope it makes a difference for you.

Good luck with that.

You can get a much better deal on xanax if you shop around btw, you gotta know the right "people" of course.
