I'm depressed. Like really sad. I'm the OP that posted on whether I should leave or stay with my childish boyfriend who doesnt like contributing to bills and drinks too much. Now I don't know if that's what has me depressed or if my depression has led to wanting to break up. This happened last year too at the exact same time. Coincidence?
Or perhaps it's because I went off my antidepressant to try a smoking cessation drug called zyban, which is also meant to be good as an antidepressant.
I have no one to talk to. I've tried and no one is interested or they are too busy. I can't stop ruminating and that has turned into going over things that's happened years ago but it's making me feel bitter now.
My brain just won't stop! From wake up to sleep and it's waking me up at night with vomiting feelings in my gut, I have actually thrown up a few times over the last few days. I've even had to have days off work due to it all.
I don't know what I'm asking if anything.. I just need to write it out, I just want someone to hear me. I just want to stop crying and stop thinking and go back to normal.
I'm feeling depressed and anxious and have no one to talk to

I hear you.
You can be depressed and have a shitty boyfriend you need to get rid off. Both can be true. If the boyfriend is shit getting rid of him may not solve your depression, but at least you won’t have to deal with him anymore and can concentrate on getting yourself well.
If I was you I’d be getting a follow up with your prescribing doctor. You need to tell them what’s happening with your medication and that you are worried about your mental health.
Do you have a psychologist or counsellor?
You could also try contacting beyond blue, they offer online services.
Thank you. Online services would be better, I feel odd talking face to face and just generally don't know what to say as talking about things to strangers is hard
Tell them what you said here. They can ask questions to flesh out the issues. There is no right or wrong answers.
Try and keep your chin up, it’s so hard when we get depressed. It’s hard to snap out of it. Zyban is also known for these side affects. I would speak to your dr if j was you. I think also not being happy in your relationship won’t help. You need to be free of that. Start with one thing at a time. I think once you get rid of him things will get better. You will find you’ll have more people around you too. Speak to the Dr about anti depressants. They do wonders.
Please go back to your doctor. It doesn’t sound like the Zyban alone is working for you. I tried champix for awhile and it made me feel more depressed and had to stop. Wait until you are feeling stable again and then make a decision about your boyfriend… this is assuming he isn’t abusive. And try Lifeline if you need extra help.
