Shit isnt it :( I was trying to talk to FOB about it yesterday (no idea why I thought that would be helpful lol) and I was like "Don't you ever just feel like life is so much effort?" and he was like ummm, no (probably because his isnt) but thats really how it feels like even thinking of going and taking my make up off, or giving Noah breakfast in the morning, stupid tiny things like that seem like such a chore and I have to force myself to do every little thing!
 
exactly the same here.
my nice HV came out today and was chatting for 1.5hours to me i feel so good when she left, it really helped. Just giving me little things to do and think about was good.

She came to the conclusion that im anxious all the time and panicy because i worry too much about stuff that COULD happen andFUTURE things that im making myself nervous about the present stuff. complicated but i totally know what she means.

anywhooo i have a few things to do this week before she comes back next weds if i feel up to it. More or less a positive day today *huge sigh of relief* x
 
I'm exactly the same. I had to go counselling today, she was so lovely, said I had been through so much and she really felt for me. She told me she thinks I have PND, when my GP originally thought it was general depression, she cold tell confidence and anxiety were big things for me. I just wish it didn't cost me a fortune to see her :(
 
How come you have to pay? I really want/need to see a counsellor but I'm at college all week and I doubt they'd work Saturdays. :/ I've never spoke about all the stuff that happened with FOB and I don't even let myself think about it, its all in a little closed away box in my mind lol but its weighing down on me and I keep getting flashbacks of various things that happened. Would be good to just delete things from our memories/thoughts! I don't WANT to talk about it particularly cos I don't like to think about it but I kinda need to.

My GP said because the last one I had was done through the GP service and I didn't find it helpfull to go to a private one, it's run by volunteers, but I still have to pay per hour :/ You could probably see one through your doctor? I'm not sure really hun.
I know what you mean, there's alot I don't want to talk about, but know I should as it will help me I guess, hopefully you can see someone nice and understanding though, really helps. xxx
 
They offered me coucilling i got my letter and everything and was meant to ring for an appt but i just couldnt bring myself to do it. The thought of telling people stuff to their faces (personal things) just sickens me. I get so panicy about it!

*stomachs flipping*
 
Just reporting that i think (FINGERS CROSSED!) my tablets are working. Im feeling a bit calmer and not so on edge anymore. Though im very forgetful and clumsy :wacko: bit of a daydeamer!! x

I'm the opposite in a way, I plan out everything I'm gonna say and stuff and have loads that i want to say then when it comes down to it I play things down and make it seem like a small deal, i dunno i always think it sounds like you're moaning, even though that is kinda what they're there for :haha: Thats how I 'got rid of' my last one, she was a child psychiatrist cos i was 17 when i started seeing her but i didnt like her so i just kept being like yep everythings fine and she eventually 'discharged' me a few months after I had Noah.
I might go to the docs sometime this week since its half term and I have time :-k
 
See i'm like that with my doctor and HV too :blush: play it down so i dont have to talk about it :dohh:

atm im just so fucked off. I hate food, i hate eating and im fat!!!!
 
Hi can I join u girls for support, after much persuasion and deniel Iv been to see my GP and she has diagnosed PND and put me on Anti-dep and put my name in the long waiting list for counselling. I cant help but feel like a bit of a failure for feeling this way and im worried about taking pills as Iv heard so much negativity about them. :(
 
it's been a long time since i've been on here. the boy has been keeping me busy. i no longer take ad's as i can't afford the prescriptions now he's over 12 months. i'm meant to have therapy once a week but i haven't actually had a session in over 2 months as they keep getting cancelled or i turn up only to find out she's called in sick. i feel like all the support mechanisms i had in place that were helping my cope have gone and now i'm back on my own. i cry for no reason, i feel lost again and am struggling to find a reason why i should wake up tomorrow.
 
My baby is 14 weeks old..I have been noticing the past week or so I am terribly emotional. I keep crying for no reason I'm ultra moody with my OH...no sex drive (we have only tried once since the baby was born..n it hurt so we stopped)... Is it normal to be so scared all the time? I keep thinking of terrible things that can happen to the baby..I'm terrified that something will happen.. ex: a car just wenr down our dead end road and its night time here..I'm home alone with him and I just pictured it being some creep who will try to breqk in.. also when the baby cries I start crying..today I had to pull the car into a parking lot bc he was crying so hard it was scary I pulled out a bottle and jumped in the back seat and cried the whole time I fed him... Is this normal behavior? Also bed time is too stressful for me right now..his perfect routine of 8 o clock got screwed up n it is impossible to get him to sleep...so my fiance got him to sleep..n I cried bc I feel that I couldn't sooth my own baby to sleep.. I need to make an appt with my Dr..
 
Gavinsmommy, go and see your Dr, you might need a little bit of help xxx

I had a meltdown this week, I think because Hope was teething and I was tired, back on track now!!
 
Hi All,

My LO is now 8.5 months old and I have been on 50mg Seratline since November 2010. Think my PND is due to the weight I have gained during pregnancy (how superficial is that!) and various factors that I didn't address prior to falling pregnant. The fact that LO was a very nice surprise and the fact I never wanted children didn't help. But I have the most supportive family and OH but it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. The bad days are few and far between now but they still come. Looking forward to the day when I get back to my fun and happy self. Does that ever happen? Seem to have become miserable, withdrawn and moany! Starting to annoy myself!

Really glad I came across this thread - it makes me realise that I am not alone.

Sarah are you ok??

BabyKerslake, I am the same, I am on 40mg prozac but I am still having bad days, they are few and I guess when I have them they come as a shock!! I guess it all takes time xx
 
I was diagnosed with PND in March and was put on ADs but i didnt get a lot of support from my family who made me feel i was just attention seeking so i never went back for a second perscription, i am feeling lower and worse than ever and this is made worse by the fact my mat leave is up so on top of everything else we have money issues which are dragging me further and further down - how likely is it that the doctor will sign me off work which will be one thing off my mind? x
 
carly_mummy2b - I am hoping to be signed off too as we are really struggling for money, I can barely afford to pay for my counselling as it's private :( :hugs: If I find out I will let you know. x

I have my first counselling today, bricking it.
 
Its so hard i cant bear it and to add money worries on top is just making everything a million times worse - tbh i dont even know whether i would be entitled to anything even if i did get signed off - god this is not how it was suppose to be x

Good luck for your counselling session - i hope you get on ok x
