Thanks for your reply Phillipa. Yes we talked about my meds too. I'm going to stop with the Citalopram because it hasn't been having any effect and I've taken it for over a year. Since the OD I've only taken it at a low dose in order to prevent the withdrawl symptoms so now we're going to try to ease me off of it so I can try a different AD. Besides that I have Seroquel for when things are more difficult.
I was a final year student at Oxford University when I took the first OD and that led to my getting help. I stopped with my studies at that point because too unwell to continue. I now live with my partner in the Netherlands and am getting help here. In the mean time I've decided I don't want to return to finish my studies at Oxford - long story but it would be very triggering for me to go back there due to an abusive relationship I had while I was a student there. Anyway, I've decided I'd like to study medicine but due to the change in country I have to take some additional exams/courses for entry into med-school, so I am busy with these now.
Yes, it is quite tough - trying to contain how I feel and sit with it.
Thanks for your words,
Witti
