charliebear - I ended up telling my hv when I took DS for his first injections - I just blurted out 'I've got pnd' and started crying. She was really lovely and understanding and arranged to visit me to talk about it. 1 in 10 women (at least) get pnd so it's really common and the chances are your drs heard it all before Don't think you can say the wrong thing, maybe you could say you've been feeling really down and you've been reading about pnd and you think that's what you have?

hi girls,
wasn't sure what else to do so i thought i would come on here for a rant. After an incident with a neighbour last weekend ive been terrified in the home i only moved into a matter of weeks ago. Ive started having panic attacks, i decided it was best to stay with my sister...that lasted one night. My nephew was ill (which i know isn't his fault) but i felt so frustrated and angry at not being able to sleep. I walked out in a complete mood. Im not at home and scared again...i know in my heart that he prob wont come back but this place just scares me now.
I dont really have anyone to talk to about the way im feeling and i dont know how to approach the subject with my sister.
Abby is meant to start nursery this afternoon but im considering phoning to ask if she can start next week and just hide away in here. I know thats not th right thing to do but i would never forgive myself if something happened to her.

Ive just called Dr's - my dr's next appointment is Monday 6th July - i dont know what to do as i dont feel i can talk to any of the other Dr's.

 

[pinkmummy]

Can you not request an emergency appointment hun, personally I think waiting until 6th July is not going to help you at all, you need seeing to straight away xxx

Sorry but going to have a little rant now

Health Visitors just been and when she was here my sister came to the house and I asked her to leave. When the health visitor went my mum phoned me saying that I was nasty telling her to go away. I told my mum I had company and I didn#t want her sat in listen to the conversation and she was just calling me nasty.

When he went off the phone I had a little cry and then I text her this:

'You chase Lauren out of the house when you've got company. I don't want her in the house when I am talking to my health visitor about depression and how I'm feeling. You've never had it so you don't understand what its like. Its hard enoguh talking to my health visitor about it never mind other people, especially family'

Haven't got anything back off her and no phone call either, but I'm sick of her not understanding and listening. She's never had it so she doesn't know what its like. All she keeps saying to me is if you can't cope with 2 kids you shouldn't have had them.

Errr excuse me how the f*** was I supposed to know I would get PND after Thomas when I didn't with Caitlin! I felt so much better lately and now she's just gone and kncoked me right back down

 

[ALY]

Awww hun i agree i didnt want karl there and aske dhim to leave
If your doest no how your feeling cos she as never had PND then she shouldnt really av said anything

Hun just wanted to send loads of your way xxx

 

[pinkmummy]

Thanks hun.

Thats just the way my mum is. She used to call me a fat cow all the time and one time I just flipped at her and told her I was fed up of it and it wasn't nice nad she just said you know I was only joking. It doesnt matter at the end of the day its still hurtful! She thinks that just coz she's a hard faced cow everyone else should be. She has NEVER told me that she loves me or my sister thats the sort of mother she is. Now people may understand why I moved out when I was 16 x

 

[ALY]

Awww hun
i dont get on with my mum cos she left me wen i was 7 x
and even now we dont get on i do go see her but only for the kids
anyway wat im trying to say is dont take any notice of her your doing great and you no were all here wen you need us

 

[Sovereign]

Hi guys, i've not posted for a while on this thread sorry How are you all? I've just been referred to a psychiatrist for assessment. I'm hoping he can help me. x

 

[carolyn_s]

Ive given up with my GP ive managed to get an appointment with my HV in 2days time. i dont like her but it would be better than nothing!
Cant eat or sleep constantly have betterflies and feel sick with dread to even leave the house.
I know how you mean about people not understanding! mu sister hasnt text me since i lft to ask if im ok. I Ive tried speaking to someone else this morning - to ask what i should do about the dr's etc and she acted like i had caught a cold!!

The only thing cheering me up today is watching Abby eat a rusk...MESSY!!

 

[snettyb]

caitlinsmum i don't get on with my mam either. She calls me worse than shite to my face, i basically put up with her every now and then when i have to and i also moved out at 16

I was supposed to see the phsyciatrist tomorrow and the secretary rang and cancelled it!!! I had a baby sitter in place and everything. What makes it worse is that i had just got Jake settled and we were both sleeping when she rang! Now Jake is screaming his tits off and i am pissed right off. I have been waiting for this appointment since i was pregnant and although i have been dreading it i was looking forward to getting on the road to recovery. Now i feel low as hell, can't stop crying and have gone straight to the fridge for a drink. When i have a drink everything seems so much easier and i am more chilled out.

I can hardly even look at Jake today, he screamed himself to sleep bless him coz i don't wanna hold him, i don't wanna do anything, i don't even wanna be alive anymore. When he sleeps i still hear him crying in my head, i don't wanna be like this anymore, he deserves better and my whole family would be better off if i wasn't here xx

 

[snettyb]

Suitably drunk now and i think drink really could be the way forward, i feel lovely now!! Hope i don't look too pissed when i pick the big one (gobby one) up from school xx

Nope, she said she would be in touch.

I am gonna be in so much trouble when andy gets in and realises i've been drinking. I know its bad but drunk netty is way happier than sober netty. Kids are happy so whats the problem? xx
