Hi guys. I guess I should start by means of introduction. My name is Dom and I've just graduated from uni.

I am at a bit of a crossroads at the moment and my mental health has been suffering as well. I have a history of anxiety and depression and have recently found both problems returning with the onset of my finals.

Talking it through...

I got through my exams (just!) but was not sleeping very well or able to concentrate. This was rather unusual as I never normally have anxieties about academic stuff, but other factors were at play. Just after Easter, I came off antidepressant medication for the first time in five years. I had been emotionally stable for about 8 months and was generally contented. I thought I was ready to come off the medication, but the stress of finals proved too much.
