DP suffers with anxiety and depression which is getting worse. He was off work for six months and had CBT and increased medication ( he has taken fluoroxetine for years). He is back at work in a less stressful role but no better really. Teenage DS and I walking on eggshells all the time. The mood swings are horrific. He constantly criticises everything, drinks to excess and refuses to partake in any of the suggested coping strategies. Christmas was ruined really. Very close to walking out but this is an important academic year for DS ( he would come with me)
We have the trip of a lifetime booked in a few months time but tempted to cancel now while I will lose only the deposit. DP always stressed before holidays but enjoys it when we get there. I feel I have done all I can to keep things together but I have had enough.
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
