I am suffering awful headaches and dizzynes, does anyone know if this is anything to do with the depression? Also extreme paranoia? xx

Could be side effects of your pills hun. Paranoia can be a symptom of depression too.

Love your new pic aly

[Jkelmum]

he is home dont ask how long for atm ive no idea how things will work out i juzst dont have the energy to fight for my marriage at the mo

 

[Jkelmum]

Ok we sat and chatted ive told him i know his pills are why he is being tosspot and he says he knows the hormones are making me snappy ...ive said bcos he is normally so laid bk i am finding it very hard when he is stressed and shouting ...he says thats why he walked away he beleives he cant help me in his frame of mind He also asked why he should help me when i dont help myself I guess he is right I should go see my doctor as these feelings of uselessness arent going ....today though i am going to the housing and telling them i am leaving him ...to get more points as they have just bought 1000 brand new houses and via them i would be entitled to a 4 bed house and the rent is cheaper ..havin a 3 bed but bigger then this one would help me as am sick of tripping over things also i wouldnt be so isolated if we moved ...fingers crossed x

 

[ALY]

Serina good luck with today

 

[Shifter]

serina. At least you have talked about it with him. It sounds like you are both in a bad place right now and that is bound to be a strain on your relationship. I really hope you can pull through this together, but if not, you have to do the best thing for you and your LOs.

 

[ALY]

How is everyone

Am feeling pretty good and i hope that everyone else is feeling a lot better than they did xxxxx

To all of you xxx

 

[Shifter]

Hi Aly, I'm doing ok thanks. Not made it to baby massage yet though - scary, new situation. Want to go but every week seem to have an excuse not to

 

[snettyb]

Pleased your feeling better ALY
Hope you manage to get to baby massage soon shifter. I know what you mean by the new situation thing. My anxiety only lets me do things i am very familiar with but i am trying to do new things. I really want to do the baby massage too so i am really going to push myself to go!

I've been taking my pills for 8 days now and the side affects are dying down a bit. Feeling ok these last few days, still ups and downs but i'm looking forward to my pills doing their job so i can find myself again

Serina- How are you? I see from your FB status that things aren't too good. Don't wanna say much on here in case you don't want people knowing. PM me on here or FB if you want someone to chat to

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx

 

[ALY]

[jenny_wren]

i should have joined this months ago

was told i had pnd when emily was about a month
old and i hate feeling the way i do ... it kills me
when i see mums loving what they're doing and
then theres me who cant stop crying ... i generally
act happy but im not when im alone with her all
i do i cry and apologize

i was diagnosed with bi polar before i got pregnant
which doesn't help my situation

so hi other mummies not doing so well

when does it go away btw?
i really want to be a mother but i just dont feel like
i can, i was fine until my oh went back to work, he's
a great father and i hate the way he just seems to
have this loving connection to her and i dont, i just
feel really alone he knows whats going on but when i
try to talk to him he just tells me he doesn't know how
to help

i look after her she'll never go hungry or unchanged
i just dont feel like shes mine please someone
tell me im not alone

xx​

 

[pinkmummy]

Jenny hunni, its so hard and please don't feel ashamed you are a normal mummy, have you been to see your docotor/ HV the tablets really help hun so get on them asap xx

 

[snettyb]

ALY- i really hope your day gets better hun

Jenny- That is how i was with my DS1, i didn't feel he was mine or feel any connection with him. I hated myself because of it and in the end distanced myself from him. My mam used to have him on a saturday night/sunday day and i lived my life counting the hours till i could drop him off there. I hid my depression from EVERYONE and because of this it went untreated and my relationship with my son got worse. He is 7 now and i feel so ashamed to admit it but i still feel no 'motherly love' for him. I would never let anything hurt him and he is very well looked but i still can't love him like i should. Please talk to your HV or doc, they can and will help you. You have already took the first step my admitting it here. PM me anytime and i'm sure the other ladies wouldn't mind if you PM'd them either.

I don't know when it goes away to be honest. I know that anti depressants can make you feel better after a month or so, i'm still waiting for mine to kick in.

to everyone else who needs them xx

 

[jenny_wren]

thanks girls
i've spoken to my hv and my gp
about it but i'd rather not take pills
they offered me councilling instead but tbh
i'd rather talk to someone whose going
through it ... cant stand shrinky people lol
i'd rather get through it by myself
sometimes i feel myself getting better
and sometimes i just have huge breakdowns


i'll pull through eventually im working on
bonding with her atm so hopefully that'll
help and i know im not the only one feeling
the way i do which really does help

just having others who can relate
to rant to makes me feel
better cheers ladies

xx​
