What am I?

I've always suffered depression. Undiagnosed in my teens. I had a narcissistic mother who I am nc with. Mostly for the last 20 years but with sporadic contact. About 4 years ago we tried to make a go of it. But it failed terribly and I had a complete breakdown. Nc since apart from about a year in she called just to 'check I was ok'. With each child I've had pnd, but that has lasted years. I'm currently unmediated probably been about 8 months since I took anything. I felt a just wanted a break from meds, put on weight and wanted to try for a baby.

I've noticed that my mood comes in waves. I can feel an 'episode' building and then it just overwhelms me. It feels like that pain you get when someone dies. It hurts. I just dissolve and get angry at the slightest thing then cry uncontrollably. I feel suicidal but also at the same time terrified of leaving them - it's a kind of in between place and it's awful.

I'm trying for a baby. That in itself is stressing me out as I've not fallen straight away. Had a chemical pregnancy in January. Now I have a sense of doom about the whole thing.

Don't really know why I'm posting. What is wrong with me?

Do your waves coincide with your menstrual cycle at all?

Never thought of it before but I think not. Had one last night and I'm mid cycle, obviously very aware of them as I'm ttc.
