I have been logging regularly to keep up with the news as best as can but 1000+ posts is quite difficukt so I rarely post!
However I've been signed off for a couple of weeks and really need some advice girls.
Briefly I've had a lot of hassle @ work and am generally finding things hard especially as most of the colleagues I was close to have left. I've been struggling going to work, not enjoying ny doy off, been very irritable and bad tempered. I know I've not been myself and was planning on going to Dr's in a month or so if things hadn't improved. ( I had my reasons for wanting wait).
However on Sunday it all came to head and DH found me stood cryng my eyes out in the kitchen. I put it down to hormones etc and the utility full of wshing. I was no better on Monday so went to see GP. BY time I went to see him I was feeling a bit beteer and actually felt a fraud sitting in waiting room. Got called into see him and burst into tears ( I felt a total muppet).
I have now been signed off for 2 weeks with depresssion and if i need more time off to go back and get signed off for longer.
He offered me anti- depressants but I don't really want to go dwn that route if I can help it.
It is really weird, as one minute I feel absolutely fine, the next I feel a bit weepy, the next I feel really down, and think I'm never going to feel my old self again.
I can't afford to be off sick for much longer ( although if I do we do have policy that will cover bills).
I'm really not sure about the anti- depressants there are times when I hit a low (normally lasts for a few hours) when I really think I want them, just to malke me feel better.
I would really appreciate your advice/ comments.
Sorry to come back and moan/ ask for help. I've spent the last couple of days deliberating over to post or not
But welcome to all new members, and congratulations to all with BFP. Good luck with your Dr's Amanda, glad they are taking things seriously, hopefully the partime hours will help, fingers crossed for a BFP soon.
Not long to go now Wobbles & SC and Layla, hope the lo's arrive early for you.
I will stop rambling now.
