I have to say that since I wrote the last message my mood has become progressively low, I feel absolutly helpless I just want someone to take this feeling away. I am trying to stay positive and tell myself I will get better and its not happening, my chest feels heavy and I feel really weak I don't know what to do. I have been reading about Prozac as I am not on any medication and yesterday I thought if consider them, today there seems to be many horror stories, I think they were my.last hope end I feel quashed now.

Hi all, id like to introduce myself I am a thirty four year old female who up until just over a week ago was under the impression I had the happiest life ever. To cut a long story short from no where I felt the worst dread and fear from no where. I immediatly spoke to my Mum who advised me to see the doctor as we have a history of thyroid problems, anyway the results were negative which has left me with questions as to why this is happening. I am very lucky in a sense I have a wonderful fiance friends and family who I have been able to speak to and get advice I have come here for help to overcome this and ensure the horrible feelings don't rear their ugly head again.. I have jogged every morning for the last two days and also kept myself active and positive, I have avoided certain foods, alchol, even caffeine and fizzy drinks, information I have gathered from other sites. I do have to say I feel no where near as bad as I did two days ago, however I am also not my happy go lucky self and I have the nagging in the back of my head telling me it will come back and it won't leave when it gets there. This is the part I need help with I have struggled this year and I don't think I have put any problems aside to get by, what I am trying to say is that this year my dad was diagnosed with cancer (more he is in full recovery now), I had a lot of conflict and even felt bullied artwork( this has now been resolved), I had a family fall out with four of my sisters, that however appears to be resolved still harbours a lot of bitter feelings and anger, and to top all this off my hair began to thing and thin and thin, for which the doctor advised me was normal,( again now resolved as I discovered a solution in the form of wonderful hair system. I am trying to give you a background into my year and the bad things which I thought I had coped with but may not have done. I am currently engaged to someone who is wonderful have a nice home and problems are resolved at work. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of quick depression just when everything is going right for them? Also is the the right place for me? Thank you for listening.
