    Weird work thing...
    Ok so i have been off Prozac for depression for almost two years and have been fine until I started a new job about 6 weeks ago. I was fine for a while up till last Sunday when I started feeling really drained, shaking, basically feeling like I was on another planet, just a few of the symptoms of the depression I used to get. I was fine the rest of the week and thought it was just a one-off but it happened again today. I expected today to be bad cos its fathers day and I lost my dad almost a year ago. It maybe just me going a little crazy cos it's coming up to the anniversary of my dads death and I know I'm still grieving, but I've been doing so well up till now and i don't want to fall apart right now, I seem to be ok while I'm at home I only feel like this at work and only on Sundays. What's going on with me am I going mad?

    Do you have a tougher workload on Sundays? Or is there any triggering thing related to a Sunday? e.g. your dad dying on a Sunday?

    Very sorry to hear about your loss. It's natural that, with it coming up to the one year anniversary and it being Fathers' Day yesterday, you might not be feeling your best at the moment. I don't think you're going mad, or that you should necessarily see this as a warning sign of a depressive episode coming up. That said, do keep an eye on things and be sure to confide in friends and family about how you're doing. Let them look after you and if this is still happening in, say, two to three weeks' time, then maybe see your GP :console:

    Sunday tends to be quiet day so I guess I have more time to get lost in my own thoughts, my dad died on a Friday. I'll see how tomorrow goes.
