Hello bonkerz
Sorry to hear you're feeling low. Not that this will help but I came for a look on mumsnet cause I'm feeling low too. Lost a baby recently (long story), had to go over it all today with friends we hadn't seen for a while, got sad and low and had a strange anxiety attack. Got slightly pissed off as dp and our 3 friends were having nice booze and I was driving so couldn't. Then got home and dp announced he was going out, which made me grumpy.
Day 3 of anti depressants is pretty early - I've heard they take 10 days to work, is that right? Here's hoping you've got brighter days ahead...

Hope tomorow is a better day.x

Try and get some sleep. It won't help if two of you are tired. You were only being caring - he's probably too tired to realise.

Hey bonkerz. Sorry to hear you're having a crappy time atm. Was just checking in before shutting down for the night, but couldn't ingore your post. I really need to go to bed now, but hopefully a bump will catch someone's attention who can stay up to chat. I'm sure dh will be ok and hopefully in a few weeks the ads will begin to have a positive impact for you and things will start to appear brighter. Smile

thanks for the replies, Manoo sorry to hear about the loss, i know how that feels because i have had 2 miscarriages, thats partly why im on anti depressants now. Was put on anti-ds nearly 5 months ago but silly me thought it was a good thing to come off them when my gp prescribed me prozac and i got scared! Needless to say my moods have not improved and so i resigned to taking the prozac and tbh its not a great time to be left on my own!

hi hun hugs to you..not had chance to catch up going through bit of a rollercoaster myself at the min but hey ho...Hope S manages to get something to eat but shitty he has had to go in.

Manoo · 17/06/2006 22:47

poor you, sounds like you've been through a rough old time. how long between your two miscarriages? would you brave trying again? me and my dp are getting married soon, and thought we'd try again after, but now the date's approaching, i'm getting really scared about the thought of trying again, and all the (negative) implications.
sounds like you're having a bad night. sometimes it helps me to think of nights that have gone really quickly in my life (usually good ones) and remember that this (bad) night will also pass, and hopefully a new day will bring a new mood. if that makes any sense. easier said then done though eh?

I was very lucky Manoo, i had a mc in july 2004 and another one in Jan 2005 but got pregnant again in april 2005 and had a very precious little girl in December 2005 who is now 6 months old.... Keep the faith babe although i know thats very hard.
I just hate it when Dh and i fight, which obviously is happeniong more at the moment because of my depression and he has started this new job which is very strssful too, we dont seem to talk at the moment because when we do we fight.
Could have done with a relaxing night together and then he was called out at short notice. Am so worried about him working as he will have been awake 28 hours by the time he gets home.

completely understand you being worried about him, 28 hrs is ages to have been awake. when he gets called out at short notice is he obliged as part of his job to go? sounds really stressful as if he knew he had to go he could have made sure he had some sleep in the day. i'm sure he'll find it wearing and tiring, but will be ok, although of course i don't know what sort of work he does.
horrible that you got your saturday night together rudely taken away, when you needed time together. hopefully the antidepressants will start to work their magic and your relationship won't be under so much strain. really hope so petal.
ps if i suddenly 'disappear' and don't reply it's cause ds1 has woken up and is taking so long to resettle that i've fallen asleep!

bonkerz · 17/06/2006 23:15

thats ok manoo, am going to go now anyway and put the TV on in the bedroom, i may well fall asleep whilst its on but thats better than the quiet here where im jumping at every little noise. Take care and thanks.

Thnaks nemo for the reply too, sorry you not so good either. email me with your woes and i could do the same, it may help us. What do you think??
