Haven't been on for ages. My wife has struggled with mental health for years and then last October lost her brother suddenly. The pair of them used to go to gigs every weekend & she has really gone downhill with depression & anxiety since. Then to add to this I have now been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hands, knees and lower back/right hip. I am really not sure how I can help her now. I haven't even told her of my diagnosis in fear it will send her further backwards.

She will need to see her doctor for a referral for counselling. Take the pressure off you to deal with your own problems.
 
Always find if my mood is bad or i'm struggling i log onto Twitter and read Corbally Red (John O Sullivan's) tweets.
Cheers me right up
 
Anyone else who's been on/is on Sertraline had restlessness for ages?

I'm coming off it and I can't get rid of the restless feeling. I made a mistake and went cold turkey, so I've dipped back in to slowly wean off.

You cant go cold turkey from that , get back on it and go to the drs or at least a phone appt to be told how to do it and over what time

I'm starting to get very anxious about my operation. It's 3 and a half weeks away and I'm finding it difficult to focus on anything else. I'm scared and that's making it harder and harder to care about work and small talk and the million little things.

You’ll be fine. I’ve had two in two years and got through both. You’re in very safe hands.
