Do i need to tell my HV or will my doctor do it? My doctor said she was going to phone her but i havent heard anything... I dont know what to say if i email her
I feel so alone with this. My OH doesn't understand and just takes the baby out 4 long stretches at the w/e cos i don't want to c anyone. I'm meant to rest on these occasions but can't. It's like my brain just won't switch off - I think about everything and anything and recall conversations / situations in my mind. I think awful things about the future and about what my OH gets up 2... I just want to feel normal and me again. No one seems to understand...thank god 4 this thread. How did u start to feel better? Did u feel like u didn't want to c people? I'm becoming a severe recluse.

How did it go huni? x
My OH had 3 weeks off when I had Ella. I was fretting him going back to work, mainly because I had to drive ella by myself and it terrified me to the point of literal breath taking panic attacks. It ended up not being so bad because when he started work again me and ella were able to get into a routine in the daytime and it has made things easier
could be hun, but then again it sounds like some major anxiety.
As for what meds should u take- u will need to see your GP hun. I'm on citalopram and quetiapine for pnd and anxiety, but still it hasn't helped as much aS i'd like it to, i have an appointment today with the sychiatrist to reassess. Always here to talk if u need hun

I'm the opposite with OH taking baby out. i struggle to be without her. i've been trying to leave her with OH sometimes and head out to have a coffee with friends. it's hard but it does clear my head and when i get home the cuddles are just priceless.

Well my oh so clever OH chucked her email address away!!
So i will ring them tomorrow and ask her to give me a call as i need to ask her a few questions about other things anyway.
OH is going into work for a few hours tomorrow to see if i cope a bit better with out him being here as that was the main thing causing the problems, as i was having panic attacks when he went off to work in the morning.
But he isnt doing the full day so it should be ok! And if im ok tomorrow he will try again tuesday. If not her will work from home again on tuesday.
I think the tablets are having some effect as i seem to be a bit calmer... like yesterday my car failed its MOT BIG time but i didnt stress about it i just got it sorted

I did the edinburgh score thing yesterday online and got a score of 16; I believe anything above 13 is considered to be a depressive score. So I told my DH as I had a few tears again last night and he just brushed it off, saying if I did have PND I wouldn't want to care for Harry; he just doesn't understand.
DH has gone to work this morning for a few hours, I don't know how I am meant to get anything done! Harry will fall asleep on me but wakes and cries as soon as I put him down.
It does not mean u won't look after Harry! Sure some mums that suffer from pnd feel withdrawn from their babies but that's not always the case. Ella has been my main priority, and although i'm not coping the best she doesn't go without anything. And she is a very happy baby. Don't let him get u down huni.Do i need to tell my HV or will my doctor do it? My doctor said she was going to phone her but i havent heard anything... I dont know what to say if i email her

let me know how it went with OH at work hun x
I had my 2nd doctors appointment, she's put me on the stronger citalopram which is the standard one apparently. I walked in and she said 'and what can we do for you today?' Errr, you told me to come in?? Silly woman 
how is everyone today?
to those who need one
20mgs, she says that's the standard dose but I'm hoping it doesn't make me more tired. I was on 10mg just for a couple of weeks and I've not stopped yawning
