Do I need to see the gp?

[Icantstopeatinglol]

I've felt quite down for a while now. It comes and goes. I've got inflammatory arthritis and apart from the odd aches and pains is under control thanks to meds. However, I'm struggling with fatigue. I'm shattered and have two small children. I know I get anxiety but I've mainly had it under control and I think I do get depressed at times. I think it is affecting me at times and I feel guilty when I've got no patience with the kids but what can the gp say? I'm scared to ring cos I know I'll cry if I have to explain how I feel but on the otherhand should I keep going if I'm struggling? I'm not in a bad way don't get me wrong but at times it's really hard. Feels like I'm trudging in mud just to get through normal chores etc.

I'm so glad you've managed to tell someone how you're feeling. And how lovely of your DH to do that. Fingers crossed this is a turning point and you'll start feeling better in yourself very soon x

Thank you pixie, me too. I do feel better to have spoken to someone. Even my dh has said he's glad I've been to the gp. You've all been so lovely
