Need someone to talk to

I have anxiety and depression and on 20mg anti depressants. The last few days I've been feeling really low again ( haven't felt this low in nearly a year ) the past three days I have a constant bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and I feel sick. My LG is 2 and I've taken dummy away as it's effecting her bite, I've introduced the naughty step and givern up smoking all in the same week. I'm struggling today, crying because I feel like I've let my lg down by being a shit mum she deserves the absolute best, I was so close to smacking her today (have never and would never) I've just lost my shit today, finding it hard to cope. I know you're not doctors but I just want opinions - should I go back to doctor to up my tablets?

Cut yourself a bit of slack.
You've just given up smoking (well done btw!) and you've just removed your dd's dummy and they don't call it the terrible this for nothing.
What anti-depressant are you on?

Terrible TWO'S

Tablets aren't always the best option. Try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. A lot of PCTs are offering it now. It helps to put things into a mental box so they can't hurt you and you can start to view the world in a healthier way. Ask your GP if they can provide it in your community. Pills help but not forever.

Yes terrible twos is horrific she's the fucking devil one minute and the next an angel. I'm on Fluxetine (however you spell it)

I have a constant bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and I feel sick

That stood out, I'd say (as a fellow suffer, not a HCP) your anxiety is playing up. It's horrible, I always say this but I have bipolar and I've suffered PTSD and anxiety. I find the anxiety the worst out the three, it can be crippling.

I think anything that is negatively affecting your life needs checking by a professional. I wouldn't be too harsh on yourself 2 year olds can be little gits add that too the stoping smoking and dummy removal it's no wonder your stressed.

Froglettt - I will do that actually thank you

Unborn - you're right, my anxiety is playin up I just feel like such a fraud going to the doctors,

Thanks for all your replies, I know it sounds silly but I feel better already xx
