Just been told I have PND.

[yummymummy06]

Hi. I have posted a few times on here. I have a 9 month old and have been battling with feeling down and really bad anxiety since she was born. Finally told the HV today and did a questionaire and she said I have PND. She was very helpful and told me to go and see the doc tomorrow. So finally I hope I have come to the end of how im feeling and the doc will give me some tablets. The only way is up!!

yummymummy - how are u today??u have taken an incredibly brave step in going to GP - so pat on the back

it takes time to get depressed - it is a slow insidious undermining disease - so remember if it takes time to become depressed it also takes time to get over it so one hour, one day at a time baby

give yourself permission to recover and take it easy

i have a voucher from a magazine for a free haircut u gotta look on web for nearest salon, but hey its free if u want it let me know and i will pop in snail mail

im too scared to change hairdresser so wont use it

give yourself a wee treat

Hi. Thanks scottishmummy! Actually I had my hair cut last thursday! That's very kind though, thank you.

Feeling ok today but keep wondering it's my fault and if OH is ok with me.

yummymummy06 - thought u loked nice

many of the thoughts/anxieties you are experiencing are the same as all of us do...

am i good enough??
why am i so crap and every other mum copes/looks/dresses/manages so well??
is it meant to be this hard??

i think those thought near daily!!!!

you are experiencing an illness that affects your cognition and how you interpret events...that will pass

it is the disease that is impaired not you - you are a funny,beautiful,intelligent woman experirncing an illness...be angry at the label not yourself

you are not the label - you are not a depressive or somehow defective - you are a intelligent woman experiencing an illness. put it this way noone is asmatha, they are merely a person who experiences those symptoms iyswim

hey lets not dwell on labes

God, I have put my family through so much. I really feel sorry for my OH. Is it true that women talk about things and men bottle it up as I have been doing alot of talking to my friends. Not sure if I am feeling any different on the tablets yet.

give them time to work - unfortunateley there is no speedy miracle cure

dont lose sight of the funny smart beautiful intelligent woman that you are

some women talk some dont
whay matters is what works for you

have a good day - hope its sunny where u are

sunny here in N London

bye
