Me

Hi I am new to this forum - I have been suffering with depression and anxiety since July 2013 and have been off sick from work since then. I lost my sister to cancer in Feb of last year... On valentines day and my Dads 80th birthday :weep:.
My Dad was in hospital when this happened recovering from surgery for bowel cancer.
Following this my lovely partner ditched me in the July and that is when I totally crashed. I have been on four Different meds without much luck. In fact cipralex caused me to have an awful time. I am now back on mirtazipine but am still having anxiety and feel very fragile. I really want to go back to work but know I am still too fragile! Would love advice from anyone about how I will know when I'm ready to go back. My job is very stressful so I need to have some resilience in order to cope. I have really been through the mangle over the past few months :-(

Thanks for your advice :yesyes: Did you know that you were ready to go back to work? I have read a lot about resting the nervous system for recovery. I am not 100% sure how thus is achieved?
