I've suffering with depression for quite a few years. It seems to have started as I turned in to a teenager, I'm 34 now. I feel as though all my troubles are piling up on me. My mother died 3 years ago and that set me back big time. I am now having marriage problems. I seem to get upset really easy. I have terrible moodswings. But then some days I feel great. I find it all very confusing and can't seem to get my head round anything. I can't bring myself round to going to the doctors, I know I will just break down, and I am so nervous about going. Does anyone know of an alternative method to beat depression rather than relying on tablets?

With a recent split, i've been very depressed lately where it doesnt seem like anything goes right, or will go right for me. But lately, my dreams (which I generally remember rather vividly) have all become negative. Not in a nightmare type of way, but situations that turn out negative or upsetting. I've never had dreams affected by moods before and dont know if im starting to go crazy or not! But my dreams are starting cause me to wake up in a bad mood or depressed right off the bat. I've never been able to control what I dream about, so im concerned at how long these could last if my depression continues (which isnt being helped by the dreams). Is there anything I can do to try and change these dreams? The dreams are not involving her, or necessarly relationships, but just whatever the dream may be about just turns out negative.

I have recently been to the gp and he prescribed me with proxac as I have been suffering with depression for 10 years. i have been resistant to taking any medication and have tried all kins of remedies such as St Johns Wort, Bach remedy, aromatherapy, vitamins etc. but I ththought I would give prozac a go..I was not prpared for the bad feelings that came with it!!!I felt positively suicidal...is this normal? I stopped taking the meds, went back to doctor, and she said for me to keep taking them. I haven't because I am scared of the effects. Now I am left with a very dark, uneasy feeling inside, and I don't know what to do about it...Has anyone else suffered with this? and can anyone suggest anything that may help?

i find myself very afraid to go to sleep, because of a fear of having bad dreams that has just developed. even when i can't remember what happened, the dreams are surreal and that uneasy feeling sticks with me.

i find my blankets on the floor and pillow half way across the room... so I'm tossing and turning, i wake up in the night and can't get back to sleep.

is there something i can take? someone i should see? help me, i need to have a good night's rest for work in the morning and this problem is making it very difficult...

thanks,
-Kwan

It's not major anxiety and depression but it is there.

The daft thing is I have been doing this job for 6 1/2 years and am capable of doing it.

Maybe it's just my bodys way of inducing adreneline to get me moving?

Maybe I'm just a nut case?

Or maybe it's all in the mind ?
