PND Support Thread

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

My MIL told me if I was to be signed off I would get something, I think you probably would, I will try to find out which sepcific benefit it is. I know how you feel, enough worries without money aswel!

Thankyou :hugs: x
 
Just a bit bleugh atm. Ihave another dr appt on weds so shall see how we go! x
 
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

i took my boy for his jabs and the nurse spotted the state i was in and immediately took me into see in to see the doctor. he signed me off work for a month. i went back each month for a 'check-up' and each time he gave me a new sick note. eventually after 5 months i felt i was coping better so he gave me a return to work form that told my employer that i could only go back part-time, but with the note i was still paid my full salary. after about 8 months i did eventually return full-time. anyway...i wanted to reply to say...if you have a good GP then i'm sure they will happily sign you off for as long as you need. xx
 
Its the kids birthday party tomorrow and im praying i have a 'good' day. Otherwise ill be sat there miserable and not talking :nope: and i don't want to be like that! x

Hi all

I'm the same as most of you tried cranky crying feeling very alone, it's awful :(

Rained most of the day so OH took the older children the cinema. I felt guilty cause I would of liking to join them but no sitter for Lo plus she was cranky with teething. Just I feel everyone is around and excited for the new arrival then they all just fade away into the background and that's when my PND kicked in :( I had a horrible pregnancy so Nurse reckons I had this during pregnancy too then quick birth which I'm not happy with hospital staff were sending me home and I was fully dilated :(

But as you say only for Lo smiles and kiddies laughs that helps me get through ruff days :)
 
Thought Id say Hi :wave:

I went to speak to my HV last week after having my LO 10 months ago to say that I wasn't feeling myself. He came round today for the first of our 'talks' and I've been diagnosed with Postnatal PTSD and PND. Aren't I a barrel of laughs! I have many more good days than bad days in terms of the PND as it's not too bad, but the PTSD effects me everyday and thats the one I'm stuggling to deal with. Hopefully with time I can come to terms with what happened and have very few and far between bad days. :)

can you believe i want back to docs and said the tablets was to strong and tbh i wasnt feeling half as stressed since i'd aired a few things out at home oh and my move had gone through and she said err i didn't know you was stressed out by things i got your diagnoses wrong stop the tablets i went to see if she could me something to help me deal with stress and she took 1 look at joel and said pnd i can't believe i've been drugging myself for 3 weeks for nothing and the only good thing is i've lost a lil weight cause vi had such a dry mouth i couldn't eat soo it's good by for now peeps i do hope the skys are brighter for you all soon :hugs:
 
Oh no...my GP has retired!! he was so good to me and first diagnosed my PND..I recently saw a new GP and he basically just told me off for going to see him! i was so shocked and upset by the way that he treated me i don't want to ever go back to ask for more ADs :-( has anyone else had to swap GPs? how do you deal with such a huge change??
 
:hugs: I dont know what i'd do hun!
Im pretty gutted, the HV that comes to talk to be is leaving next month. :'( shes helped me loads with Maxs allergies and this PND x
 
Hi all, I've just started citalopram for PND....hoping that I'll feel the benefits in a few weeks. Am finding it so hard atm just cos I keep bursting into tears and OH/family just look at me like I'm mad for crying.....why should I cry when our daughter is healthy and happy? Also hoping that my general anxious feelings over nothing in particular settle down in time xx
 
can feel myself becoming anxious, can tell i wont sleep tonight and will have a rubbish day tomorrow :(
 
I'm really struggling today.

I saw a thread in Baby Club it said "Is your life better now after having baby"? And everyone says oooooh yes. Well, can I say no? If I am completely honest? I don't understand why people can be happier now than before. Sorry :cry: And I feel so trapped, no friends, no family, and I can't speak the local language, I can't get a doctor or childcare, I tried speaking to the nurses at the baby clinic and none of them spoke English so I just left, I think I made a huge mistake moving here :cry:
 
:hugs: Aliss. Reality is there are probably just as many people saying No as yes, but it's hard to admit. When I had PND it seemed like everyone found motherhood blissful and amazing I was surprised to find out quite a few of my friends have also been through it.
Aliss do you know someone who could translate for you.
Xx

Thanks Raggydoll :hugs: I'm usually quite open on Baby Club, only because I know there's some poor girl there reading who is too scared to say so, today was a really really hard day. My OH is getting a free business trip to Australia for 2 weeks (1 day work, 13 days party!) and I can't go, so it really just set me off into some misery (talk about resentment, I wanted to travel the world before meeting him and HE gets to go?). Had a good long cry, a sleep during Alex's nap, and feel a bit better.

There's a military base nearby so I'm going ot see if they have a mother's group since most of those women are English-speaking to try and make some friends here. Thanks :hugs:
 
Yesterday... was the first day i felt proper love for max :nope::happydance: i suddenly just want to cuddle him. I think maybe its because hes poorly and suddenly needs me?

I was getting worried that id always prefer Harriet and its been tearing me apart for months!!!

You're an equally brilliant mummy to them both so it doesn't matter if you've been having confusing feelings, its not your fault xxx

You're at one of the worst stages hun :hugs: I would like to say that it will settle over time, although nobody can say for sure, but I think as time goes on you get more good days then bad. Hope you're doing well :)
