i am depressed again, and finding it difficult to go outdoors at the moment.  I don't know whether its the fact that I don't want people to see what a state I am in because I have been crying for the last 2 weeks or Its because the last time I went out I experienced something that really frightened me and now i am afraid to go out.  The fact was my legs went for under me and my head was swimming like i was drunk, I have never experienced this before, it may have been a panic attack or maybe its because I am off my food and haven't eaten properly for weeks.  Any ideas??

I am also sad about the fact that I can't even take my son to school at the moment and have to rely on my parents to take him, this is really devastating.  I can't face doing anything at the moment and have to rely on other people.  I am so sad.

My medication is lofepramine and i was on 2 a day but I am now on 3 a day 240mg.

Michelle,
The feelings you were experiencing may very well be associated with lack of food.  You could try just eating very small meals or snacks, just enough to give your body some much needed fuel.  If the symptoms don't subside, definitely see your doctor.  I understand how you feel about hoe people are perceiving you due to your "depression", we are here the the DC, voice your thoughts and concerns to us, we will listen!!
Take care,
Susanne
