Hello,
Im a regular poster on MN, although I can normally be found over on the SN boards.
A quick introduction- Im 25, married for 5 years and have two children DS,2 (with mild CP), and DD, 10 months. I have no surviving family after losing my parents in 2001 and 2007, and DH is foreign so his parents are overseass.
I was prescribed anti-d's twice this year, both in Jan and July, but once I had the prescription, refused to take them for fear of becoming addicted. I returned to the GP in August and blood results showed that I might be having thyroid problems.
Tests came back clear last week, and the GP is suggesting that my symptoms are pointing towards anxiety. Now, Im wondering, where do I go from here?
I only have two friends who I feel comfortable around. They are friends from my childhood, but with the working fulltime, and with me being married with kids, we rarely see each other and have little in common anymore.
I just find myself stuck in a rut, and I cant seem to break out of it. DS has only recently started taking his first steps, and although verbal, doesn't say anything recognisable, so looking after two kids without any break for myself at all, is physically and mentally challenging.
I don't have the energy to do anything much these days. I have spent the past two days at home, because I just have a constant feeling of 'I can't be bothered'.
I hope I can find some support on this board. Just writing things down seems to help, but I think Im searching for answers that I can't find.
