dear Rowan,
welcome. you're in the right place.
Starting with a gp for meds is fine. that's where i started until my insurance could set me up with a psychiatrist.
I have a new psychaitrist and I'm going through a major med change after 13 years on anti-depressants. The assignments she gives me have helped so I trust that in time the new meds will too. It takes time but at least these meds are here for us! Mental Health people are on our side.
My husband chatters a lot but says little. His actions say it all. I've been disabled with depression and loss this summer. He's doing everything but the laundry and on vacation he even did that.
we're here for you. you're doing well letting us know what's going on so we can help you.
i usually check messages twice/day or more. PM me if you want. I've been where you are.
The basic rule here is, don't talk about how you injure yourself. It might give someone ideas about methods or tools.
many hugs, susan
