I was on ADs for PND for just over a year and saw a Psychiatrist for 6 months. I came off the tablets in Oct 07 as felt loads better, but also couldn't wait to get off them as they were messing with my mind!
Since then I have become part-time (3 days per week) so I can spend "quality time" with my DD. Only prob is I dread those days off and prefer being at work! I don't seem to have a proper bond with my DD. I feel we should be out doing things instead of sat in watching cbeebies and me being on the computer. Ebay / facebook are my ways to escape reality! I have no enthusiasm for housework, my husband did everything when I was ill and continues to do the vast majority but it gets to him quite a bit now and gets very frustrated with me.
I just seem to have this physical barrier appear when I have to do the simplest of jobs, feed DD, bath DD, make dinner, tidy-up and even wake-up in the morning.
I really don't want to go back on ADs but don't want to spend everyday in tears feeling so useless.
I wanted children so badly but now I wonder why! I love DD, but can't help thinking why didn't we just stay the happy go lucky couple we once were. My head is such a mess does anyone have any advice...
