I guess it's something to do with what's happening now??
I'm sure you're very safe being at home.

Struggling too but it's the weekend. Still here. Need to escape later! xx

What's making you think you can't cope?
Have you got the help you need to help you to cope? Or are you going to get it? x

loopy that could just be the sleeping tablets, what time did you take them? after i had ds4 i had post partum psychosis and pnd, i used to take a sleeping tablet occasionally and leave the baby wiht dp but i found i had to take it early in the evening ie 8:30 otherwise i felt like shit the next day.

sorry to hear you are feeling so :( you were on the preg thread when i had ds4 but you lost that baby :( i remember you, i ahve had no 5 now, well she is 13mths old, i didnt get pnd this time thankfully. pm me if you want to chat, i have been where you are xx

BellaBoo85 · 05/02/2012 13:57

Yeah maybe try taking them earlier in the evening. I could do with a sleeping tablet right now and sleep the rest of the weekend away before i completely lose it.
I hope you are getting some rest today. Well as much as you're able to xx

what sleeping tablets do you have? it could just be that they dont suit you, i tried a few i think to find one i was happy with. i never took them very often just when i really needed a break and also when dp was going to be around the next day to help.

just take things as slowly as you can, do the minimum and look after yourself, i promise you you will get better. do you have a cpn? mine was a godsend :)
