Hi all,
I'd like some advice or thoughts on what I should do next please.
I have been diagnosed with depression, I am waiting to hear back from the GP regarding talking therapies and who knows how long the waiting list is.
My son will be 2 in May and I am still breastfeeding. I feel like absolute sh*t everyday I feel like I am drowning in treacle. I'm very very angry, aggressive, shouty and exhausted no matter if I get sleep or not. I'm a total mess so the GP offered medication. So far I declined as I am still breastfeeding, the only people I have told about this just state that I should stop feeding him and take the damn tablets but if I am honest, I feel like feeding my son is the literal only thing I have succeeded at as being a mother so far. I worry that if I stop I really am going to go over the edge. I am on the very tip of that right now and those calm moments when he feeds in the morning is the only stillness I get. I am trying to read up on mindfulness but even that is exhausting.
I have minimal support really so cannot go over the edge, I feel I have to be very careful in my next move, can anyone see a solution here?
thank you in adance x
