Good grief you lot can talk! I was only away for a day and there's a hundred messages on a new thread!
Anyway.
BEST OF LUCK sagitta and PFJ. [waves pom poms and does little baby producing dance]
And obviously to anyone I have missed who have be sprog-popping in the near future, have only skimmed the thread, will go through properly in a mo.
Jennie - HUGE hugs to you. I am a complete loon a lot of the time throughout this pg, you are by no means the only one. I am on AD's and have been for yonks, tried coming off the as PG but turned into a she-wolf and reluctantly agreed with DP and doc that was not a good idea yet. Also had lots of therapy which has now stopped, but was immensely helpful. Don't worry about mood swings too much - I know is easy to say, but your body is going through MASSIVE changes and hormones all over the shop and it isn't easy. I am snappy and teary and growly more often than I care to think about, and my DP is great at not biting back. Perhaps have a little chat with your after you've seen psych - help you reflect some of your worries to him in a positive way? Or maybe ask him to come to a session with you?
Anyway - try not to fret. You are NOT turning into your mother. My Dad is bi-polar and the first time I had a depressive episode one of the things that scared me most was that I might be like him. I ain't. Am mad in my own special way but nothing like him. And I got help and continue to and am much more able to cope for facing it all square on.
LOTS of hugs to you.
Can someone email me PAL's name please?
