Hi, im new on this thread
I have a long standing history of depression, been suffering with it since i was 13 and am now 21.

3 weeks ago dr put me on 10mg of citralopram(sp?) and 2 weeks ago i got upped to 20mg.

Today im just feeling a bit useless. Everything i do seems to mess up.

I started weaning LO as the amount of milk she was drinking was just bouncing straight back up and have now been told of by HV.

Im still not eating properly or sleeping properly and i keep messing my money up.

No matter how hard i try i just want to buy things to make myself feel better and i cant really afford to, now i have £300 of bank charges coming out next week and only 270 going in for the fortnight.

I just dont know what to do anymore, i thought i was getting better

Hey hun

You arnt alone in feeling like this, it might take awhile but you will get there. Sometimes there are just several obstacles and challenges that get in the way but they WILL be overcome and you will end up a stronger person. xx

That really sux about your money situation hun Is there anyone who can help you out? maybe offer you a loan or something?

Why did the HV tell you off about your milk?

I hope you have a better day tomorrow
xx

Hi Everyone,

Sending lots of supportive hugs to everyone.

I've not been on here for a while, sadly six weeks ago for me things went drastically downhill.
On the upside I am now getting the help I need. I am currently on weekend leave from a mother and baby unit. I've also had my medication changed and I'm also waiting for my blood test results as the last one showed I have an over active Thyroid.

If anyone wants some information on the mother and baby unit I'm happy to share my experience.

Oh hun that sounds awful you poor thing I'm glad you are now recieving help though!!That's great!

We have a mothers and babies unit here too, on the 3rd night after having Ella my midwife wanted to take me to mothers and babies but for some reason the thought of it scared me and i just spun out so i stayed in the chch womens hospital instead. I'm now part of the unit as an outpatient so i go in once a week. How long do you stay in there for hun?

LO was having 6 7oz bottles a day which was just so much it was swilling round and coming back up. This week she has only had 2 6 oz bottles a day and 3 farleys rusk and pear feeds. No sick at all yet health visitor reckons it is making her stomach bad

We are slowly getting there with the money, me and OH are on benefits as we both disable and he had to stop working to look after me after my miscarriage last year. It just seems like everytime we get somewhere with the money it cocks up lol although we have had a whole month without any charges which is a record for us!!!

I thought i was getting better untill i went to the doctors today... I have been a bit up and down since friday. I have just found out why lol! I was due on my period. should have realised as im on the pill now. But the doctor said that she wants to up my tablets!! So i have said i would like to wait another 2 weeks because i honestly think its just PMT plus the hot weather.

My Dr said its not suitable to go on the pill whilst suffering PND. Im hopefully going to have a mirena coil put in (when i can face having my bits out again lol!) Have you thought about trying that instead?

 

[xpinkness87x]

i did mention to her i was on the pill and she said it is fine

I will ask her when i see her again. I dont really fancy having a coil... ooo pain. I have only just got over the pain from sitches lol x

But i've just managed to express almost 6 oz of breastmilk. I now feel really guilty as if i take fluoxetine i have to give up bf. But i have bad pnd so want to get better asap and i know fluoxetine works as taken it b4. What shld i do?? V confused. My baby's 7 wks today. Advice much appreciated.

hi ladies i need some help - when did i you decide you needed medication to help you? i went to my doctors about 5 weeks ago who diagnosed PND but said he would rather wait before giving me anything for it. i dont think i am coping at the moment. smallest of things make me cry and im getting so worked up over things that are so far away in the future. i find it hard to get to sleep and wake up around 4 am and doze until about half six. i dont even want to leave the house to go for a walk. some days im fab and feel myself and some other days im just a wreck. sorry ladies.
