I'm suffering with postnatal depression and have been given medication by my GP who was very unhelpful. I've started suffering from hallucinations since yesterday, mood swings and feeling like myself, those around me and everything around me isn't real. Like I'm in a dream.
My depression has gotten really bad, I'm suicidal and at times don't feel like I can keep myself safe. I feel completely out of control at many points throughout the day.
I expressed this to my GP and all he did was prescribe medication and I have an appointment with the perinatal mental health team in two weeks. I can't wait that long. I feel like I'd benefit from inpatient treatment. Or am I not "bad" enough?
