During the past few days I have been though an enormous low.  I think it because I am starting to sort the issues that have brought about this episode of depression, but this brings up all sorts of conflicts in my mind and in my relationships. There have been many discussions over the last few days and things certainly look better.  That feeling of hope has again returned. As I continue to work through issues,  I have to be very wary that I am not just looking for issues to moan about, but continue to resolve the real problems.

My GP has changed my medicine, based on the recommendation of the specialist.   I am now on venlafaxine which has a different mechanism  and apparently is a mood stabiliser rather than an antidepressant.  Fingers crossed that this will work as I really don't want to go so low as I have in the last few days.   I would appreciate hearing about any experiences people have had of this drug.

Anyway its  Father's day today and I am seeing my girls. That will be great.  They have finished their exams, so they are much more relaxed and have time to spare.  They are off to see Taylor Swift this week.  Younger daughter is a massive fan and it will be the 4th time she has seen her.
