Well ive been on my pills for 4 weeks now.... they seem to be working mostly. I do still seem to be having 'down' days sometimes. The stupid think is that its not to do with logan. I seem to get stressed if my house isnt spotless?? As soon as there is any mess or i havent done the washing i get really down and feel useless!!

I tried explaining this to my hv and she told me to just leave the cleaning... i dont think she understands that the state of my house determines the state of my mind. I was having a down day this morning but ive just spent the last hour scrubbing everything and now i feel much better... im finding it strange tbh i expected pnd to affect my relationship with logan and my partner not to be about my house?

Sorry for waffling on but i thought i would just see what everyone else thinks of this? As in is this normal? lol

to those who need them x x

erinx I am the same - if this place is untidy, i crack up. If its all tidy then I'm calm!

Erin I'm the same! I love being organised, I'm a typical Accountant sometimes.

Feeling a bit better today. Had a lovely day out with my sister. I also think the higher doze of Citropalm(sp) is kicking in.

For all that need them today.

Yay!! So im not a freak Ive told other half that i expect this house to be spotless because if it isnt ill have a bad day which means he will have a bad day!!

Im starting to feel more positive lately and am getting more confident... i even met another mum the other day from netmums. That is something i would never of considered before the pills... so there is definatley an improvement. I asked oh if he thinks the tablets are working and he said he can see the difference esp when i miss a tablet.

omfg.

Its day 3 on the antidepressants - and i took one earlier.

I had THE WORST heartburn imaginable. It hurt!!!!!!!!

I googled it and its common apparantly!

urgh!

 

[Aidedhoney]

I was the same with the housework, liked everything to be spick and span.

I havent had heartburn, my sleep pattern was all fooked up but now 7weeks down the line its seems to be improving.

I had PPD, I started to feel scared and anxious when my baby was three weeks old and waited to start antidepressants until my baby was 1 month old, because my Dr told me I had to stop BF and I didn't wanted to.
Well, I got miserable when I stopped BF and didn't got better of my PPD until the day I decided to BF again, and I did it!!

Everything went great ( but very hard work and the pressure of my no - supportive mother that was staying with me), and now I am BF again andfeel very happy, most of the time...

Then Why I feel guilty??? Everyday I think of what did I do wrong to get depressed, Why I blame myself???

Does anyone gone through the same situation??

 

[babynewbie]

i think i have pnd it seems to tick all the boxes. im scared

 

[AP]

babynewbie have you done the questionaire yet from the HV?

hope u lot r ok. ive been on my pills for a week now but missed them two days on the trot. dont know if it would have made a difference at this early stage but i was in a bad way after that. i packed a bag and was ready to run away for the night. im weaning now too and its been stressful. I don't understand why people rush into it, we had no choice and its worrying. LO is tiny as it is but i worry"is she getting enough milk" blah blah.

which is mad because i remember the days she was on 0.5mls an hour!!!

I watched the premature babies on One Born Every Minute and it left me feeling raw, numb,broken and guilty. We'd been through the same preemie journey, why can't I be happy at 9 months later shes happy and home?!?

 

[babynewbie]

havent spoken to anybody. i really dont want to. i dont know what to do

 

[jenny_wren]

well ladies here i am AGAIN!
it's emily's first birthday tomorrow and instead of being
happy im dreading the whole weekend i feel like my
pills have stopped working i dont feel happy anymore
i just feel angry about everything im just wanna
crawl into a corner again ... after everything ive pulled myself
through, 12 months on i still feel like im right back where i

babynewbie It took me a while to be able to speak to someone about it, but I went to my Dr when Joe was 3 months old and she was great. I am on AD's now, they're not for everyone, but they have helped me loads. Do you get on well with your HV? Maybe you could talk to her first? If you ever need to talk hun, you can PM me. I'm around most days xx

Sb22, I'm finding weaning tough too hunni. I was just getting to grips with everything and feel like it's something else to worry about. I know I should feel happy about it being the next step and Joe growing up but it is stressful. I hope you are feeling ok today xxx

Jenny, I hope you are able to enjoy Emily's first birthday weekend. I'm afraid I don't have much advice, but wanted to send huge hugs to you
