Just that really, and not sure if its normal to feel worse after?
I have been referred to peri natal mental health team by GP, I guess with suspected PND and PTSD (very traumatic events in my labour, albeit physically it was relatively straightforward). Gp started me on citalopram and it was helping a bit.
The guy from peri natal rang and now I feel even more rubbish than I did before. He told me off for not taking care of myself and I now just feel shit and ashamed of myself for getting in this mess. Yes I never took any me time but that's because I have 2 children with complicated health issues, a husband who is away a lot and no family near by.
Luckily I had family staying this weekend so I pulled through the low he dragged me into. But am I right to be worried about sticking with this counsellor? Can I ask gp fora different one or is this what they would normally do? I know he was right that I would need 'me time' but the way he is approaching it feels so unhelpful. But then I have never had counselling before and guess I expected something more positive
Also, is it usually just over the telephone? I hate it being over the telephone it makes me feel very abandoned and alone
