It's so hard when you're up and down. I'm not terrible at all, I could be a lot lower. I struggle to enjoy my toddler and feel dysphoric about pretty much everything. But this is the result of lockdown and young parenting right?
When I work I feel better, but it's only a few hours a week and it's not everything. It's just good as feels like I'm doing something. I get lost in my head making things up as feel like it's better than real life, which is a ridiculous thing to say.
I'm not sure what I would get out of a gp? I'm not sure I'm feeling low enough for antidepressants or if it'll really do anything for my experience, plus I've got to think about all the side effects and coming off later on down the line (I do breastfeed sometimes and don't necessarilywant to stop that). I'm on a waiting list for private cbt anyway. So although things aren't good and I am weepy about it all, is there really any point booking an appointment?
