Aly
been on the meds for 2 months now. after a couple of weeks everything seemed better, i had a level head for a change. In the last week or so everything has changed direction again and i have come back down with such a thud. im miserable again and i really convinced myself i was getting better.
I was meant to see the dr this morning but cancelled it - HV is coming round in half an hour but im considering telling her not to bother - im such a mess just now i dont really want to see anyone.

 

[ALY]

If i were you id let the hv come you cant talk to her and she will tell you if you need your meds changing and also listen a lot more than a dr does

I hope you get some good advice hun

 

[ALY]

i literally couldn't sleep last night
i was soooo tried and my body just
wouldn't shut down so im hoping its not
a side affect and if it is it wont last long
i need some sleep!

Hi, I hope no one minds me having a moan. I just don't know what to do anymore. Chaise usually goes to bed at 8, well tonight he decided he didn't want to. He's still awake now 3 and a half hours later!
I feel like screaming and walking out and never coming back. I took him for a walk but I got as far as the corner and there was a man sat in a car and it scared me so I rushed back and put chaise in the flat and sat outside for half an hour, I felt like I physically couldn't come back in. Now he's in his cot crying and I don't feel like I can go to him.

I feel so stupid to have had a baby. Loads of people said it was a bad idea and I'm starting to feel like they're right. I do the best I can but I just feel like its not good enough. I spoke to the health visitor and I thought she couldn't do anything cus I'm already on 60mg citalopram but she's coming tomorrow to do a listening visit. I'm scared she'll think I cant look after Chaise though. I did the edinburgh test thing and got 26/30. I know I'm feeling bad but I didn't really realise I was that bad. I told my husband and he was just like "well yeah I've been trying to tell you..."
We also had an argument and he said I needed to get help. I just feel so guilty about everything. My poor husband is knackered, he's been doing so much to try and take the load off me and I feel so bad about it.
I keep saying he would be better bringing Chaise up without me here but he just says I'm being silly. Everyone says I'm being silly but I swear its true. I don't want Chaise to grow up like me, so if I wasnt here then he wouldn't... and if I wasnt here from when he was a young age he wouldnt know any different. I don't understand why I'm the only person that can see that it makes sense.

I'm really sorry for the long post. I just feel so lost and helpless :'(

babes xx

am not really sure what to say to you as hun x apart from you are doing your best for your little one and maybe ask your HV if its possible for you to change your tabs to another anti d
how long have you been on these meds xx

 

[Angel2Fire]

Thanks Aly. I've been on them for 3 1/2 years for depression but never got taken off them. Changing them would take a long time as I would have to come down to 40mg for a few weeks, then 30, the 20 etc and I'm not prepared to do that right now as I have no idea how much worse I'd be without them

 

[ALY]

I was taken off mine last week as i was addicted to them
have you tried counciling a lot of people say it is really good

 

[tinyme77]

I haven't commented in here for a while as I was feeling well again (even after I stopped the tablets) but in the last few days I have been having lots of problems with 'friends' and 'family' and it has brough me right down to rock bottom I think this is seriously the worst I have ever felt and I dont know what to do The easiest solution for me is to move away from them all but OH doesnt want to move and thinks I am being selfish moving the kids. At the end of the day his family dont try and control what he doesn and never has but mine have from day one, hence why I moved out at 16 and I am now 21 and they are STILL trying to do it! Sorry for the rant but OH just doesnt seem to be listening to me when I tell him

 

[kmh2009]

[jenny_wren]

my hv seems to think my dosage needs
to be upped ive got an appointment

im not happy but im not sad
i feel like im at a stand still
it really sucks i feel like a zombie just
doing what i have too

this is my third week on the meds
but hopefully the doc will sort it out

xx​

 

[kmh2009]

im on 40mg of fluoxetine so its already been upped. please no one think bad of me for saying this but at times i have to stop myself from hitting my baby i am that frustrated with him screaming. i would never hurt him though. just wish i could send him back, although i never would. argh im just a complete mess right now. and ive been doing so good

 

[jenny_wren]

i'm like it too dont worry
i wouldn't hurt her because she's a baby
but sometimes i feel like shaking
her until she shuts up but i wouldn't
i know how you feel though

Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the right place for me.

I sometimes feel like it would have been better if I didn't have him, because at least then I could die without leaving him behind. Does anyone else feel like that?
