I have a 5 month old dd & I'm on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I've been depressed to varying degrees in my life so that part is no stranger.... I've just come to the conclusion that I can manage it best by myself & avoiding doctors! I sometimes think doctors and mental health professionals are actually bad for your mental health.. Yet here I am, considering a trip to the doctors, and its because I'm desperate, I can feel so low or raging angry, and some days i feel fine but have constant intrusive thoughts, I couldn't even mention to anyone, but I'm just terrified something is going to happen to my baby, or I'll go to the cot and she wont be breathing.... ALL the time it's in my mind...
I'm really struggling today & feeling like I need something cause I'm not coping. Can you take anything while breastfeeding, or do you have to stop feeding? Cause that's not something I would do..
Any help or words of support would be great right now...
