Cant get up today

[Jemima14]

I'm just so down at the moment. I feel like I am constantly picking myself back up, carrying on & fighting through the tough times & try to be positive. But its like, once a week or more, someone is really shit to me or something crap happens. And it just floors me, and I feel like im just out of energy. I wish i didnt have to get up, i have my baby to look after & i don't want to do anything at all. I have no one to help me. I just dont know what to do, i feel like im out of fight

Jemima it sounds like you could be depressed. How old is your baby? Could you be suffering from PND? Have you seen your GP about the way you're feeling. Your comment "I wish I didn't have to get up" is a bit of a red flag for depression, as that's how it makes us feel, we just want to hide under the duvet and withdraw from the world.

If you haven't seen your GP please make an appointment, because if you are depressed you may need medication which can be very effective. Do you have any RL support?

Oh I'm definitely battling depression. I did go to my doctor who was not helpful or sympathetic. My daughter is 1 and I went when she was about 6 months. The doc didn't think I should be taking anti d's whilst breastfeeding. I did decide to take them though, I felt better for a few months but just keep being put through the ringer with family issues. I have a lot that weighs heavy on me. I have no real life support, I have no help with my daughter, I find it very hard never getting a break. She is clingy, wont be put down, my back is in bits, bla bla bla. All the usual stuff everyone has to put up with. I just cant' keep any sort of even keel on my moods. I work really hard at getting up & dressed & out & her stimulated & entertained & fed and bathed, thats all really hard for me when I'm down but I push myself to do it, and then something else gets me down. The last thing being my sister coming into my house & completely trampeling over what I had to say & then just dismissing me that I'm upset bout that. Ive fallen out with all of my family now, because of stuff like this. I'm sick of it brining me down.
But I'm really down right now & I don't want to be.
