to admit I may have depression ?

[chipsandgravy]

Had pnd came of tablets 3 months ago its has gone down hill since then, my dd is 2 now so prob not pnd but depression,this is the problem
I struggle to get out of bed in the mornings, but can manage to sort dc take them to school etc.
Dont want to see anyone at present especially dp as he rubs me up the wrong way, he works late and when he is not working he is out with his friends.
I feel like a single mum ,lonely the only thing I love is my job and my dc, I feel appreciated at work and feel happy when Im their what is wrong with me most pepole would be grateful for having a dp,two ds a roof over their head,etc why cant I be happy.

Have you been back to your doctor? Sorry you're feeling low.

I have not I dont really want to admit Im depressed have a big hang up,came of the tablets wanted to prove I dont need them, feel a Idiot now as I obviously do I will go back as I have my dc's to think about.

Having depression is nothing to be ashamed of. If you hurt your leg would you feel ashamed and leave it untreated?

See your GP, you will be so glad yo did when you start to feel better

What Gibbon said. If you had broken your leg you would take pain killers and crutches to help make your life easier - taking ADs is exactly the same.

I get what you mean about wanting to prove something, but you truly aren't. You're suffering without needing to. Have done the same thing in the past myself, and I felt so much better once I was back on my meds.

Depression is nothing to be ashamed of. It's an illness like any other, which requires treatment.

However, have you talked to your DP about this first? Maybe if he was more supportive it would help.

I think you should go to your doctor too. I felt exactly the same, my third (ds) is one but still feeling like pnd, as I posted on my blog recently (andthentherewere.wordpress.com/) I went to see doc actually about other issues, but she got it out of me. Now she wants me back next week for blood results and poss meds. haven't made appointment yet, v hard to admit you need help as there is a stigma, but I'm going to go back, I hope you will too. xx Haijin
