I cant stop crying

I've been on anti depressents for about 2 1/2 years now for PND and have managed to get down to the lowest dose. I've been doing really well only having to take them every 2 days on the doctors advice.

For the last couple of weeks though I've been so down I've been crying over nothing, shouting at DP and my mum and having panic attacks.

This morning I couldn't even take DD to school DP took in us in the car and I just couldn't get out so he had to take her in and now he's in a mood with me - didn't even say goodbye just left.

The doctor put me on a list for a counseller when he put me on my AD's but I'm still waiting - he told me to talk through things with DP and mum but I think they're sick of me and my problems which they think don't exist.

It's always worse at this time of year though and I've been like this for as long as I can remember arround christmas time.

I don't know if I should go to the dotors now or see how I am after christmas when I know I'll be feeling better. It's took me so long to get down to the dosage I'm on and I don't want to go up on them again.

Think you should go back to the doctors given that you have been feeling worse for a few weeks. Push again re:the counselling. Have you been waiting for counselling for 2.5 years . In some areas Mind can sort out free/reduced price counselling - might be worth you looking into that. Might also be worth speaking to your HV - a good HV can be a good person to talk things through with.
