I'm not coping

[Babytimeagain]

Hi, I dont think Ive posted in this section before but your thread starter caught my eye and I wanted to read on as I think you are so brave for saying how you feel out loud and I really believe that if you have the strength to do that you will find the strength to get through this and come out the other side a better and stronger parent for it
Asking for help can be the hardest thing in the world at times so well done for making an appointment with your gp and looking into other help.... do you have a childrens centre near you or maybe a health visitor you can ask for help also?? We have many centres where I live and over the years Ive helped out at some of them and seen 1st hand the help and support they can give so please look into what yours can do for you hun.
Im glad you find support from here also and although Im very much a newbie to B&B I can already see how great it can be... best of luck to you xx

Thank you so much.....

I'm going to confess i chickened out in really discussing things with my doctor

I know its not the case, and i am really trying hard to convince myself - but what if i tell the doctor everything thats going on in my head - what if he takes Chloe away from me?? That is my biggest fear

If it was just me myself and I i'd have no real issue, as they could do what they liked with me, but it's Chloe. What if they think i'm not fit to look after her?? where would she go?? what if they send her to her dad and his poisonous family??

I would literally die if that happen, without Chloe it just isn't worth it

They would try and help you first hun, the last thing they would want to do is take Chloe away from you It's heartbreaking thinking they might but if you don't talk to them properly about your feelings you will only make it worse. Be honest, they have no reason to want to remove Chloe from your care your doing the right thing by seeking help.

this was also my biggest fear hun. i was diagnosed with depression last august (i had it since jayden was born just never had the guts to face upto it) i was completely honest with my GP & i even broke down in tears & said 'i don't want anyone to take my baby away from me just because i feel like i can't cope at times' & the first thing he said was 'nobody will ever take your baby away, unless they are in danger' & i know i would never put him in danger & i don't doubt for a second that you would put chloe in danger be honest with your GP hun, they're there to help you they will more than likely offer you anti-deppressants & forward your details onto a counsillor. i never took up the counsilling as i thought they will just try & dig deeper on why i am depressed & didn't want to dig deeper but if councilling is something that may help you, it's worth a try hun. please speak to your GP again the help is there for you xx
