Just two weeks ago tomorrow I got engaged to someone I've always wanted to be with. I suffer anxiety and mental exhaustion and now I'm depressed so I'm starting meds tonight. So freaked about taking them, but I really have to because the joy I felt on my engagement is completely gone and now I'm gone to the point of being convinced that I'll be a terrible wife, or chosen the wrong person or that I can't make big decisions. To be honest I can't at the moment because I'm so run out, but I'm so so upset because I really love my h2b and mental illness is turning what should be a wonderful time into something so so awful. I guess it's normal to be worried when making a big decision but this is just abnormal what i'm thinking! I so hope that when the tabs kick in that i'll get happy about plans and houses etc again.

Don't know what to say, but had to write a reply.

Thanks though! Thankfully the relaxant meds have stopped my thoughts racing and h2b is on his way in a few minutes and for the frist time in days I can't wait to see him. Relief at last!

You are not alone. I have suffered with some depression but luckily or unluckily depending on how you look at it my sister and Mam did too. Meds really helped them and getting counselling and I did the counselling too. Actually met the hubby while still attending counselling. I did feel the pressure of the wedding at times but I made lots of lists and asked for help and talked and cried about how I was feeling! I try to always take my time now and I don't have to and can't be perfect and no one expects you to be either and if they do fuck them! Hope this helps

just to let you know, everyone at times will suffer and think thoughts they normally wouldnt, we all go through a small bit of it.....but it will get better, sounds like things are improving already, why not pick a little task to do and enjoy the time with that together....wish you all the best and hope you get to enjoy the engagement.....fun days ahead for you both xx
