At the end of my rope!

[Ccaaiitt]

I had a AWFUL pregnancy! I had HG and was hospitalised for 9 because of it... My case was the worst the hospital had ever seen and the hospital couldn't find a case similar in the whole of the UK so they documented my case... I thought after the baby was born I would feel better but 3 months on I still feel AWFUL I now hate all foods and force myself to eat every 12-24 hours... I feel so sick and I just want it to go away.... I find no joy in anything, I am constantly frustrated, I hate myself and I just want to die... I see the perinatal mental health team every week and they just don't help me and won't take me seriously.

I desperately wanted to be a mum but now all I do is cry and want to die and I constantly worry about my baby.

I seriously don't want to eat anymore because all I do is feel like I am going to be sick. I am desperate to just be a good wife and mother.

Oh my goodness you poor thing
I have a condition (self caused) with extensive periods of vomiting and it is pure misery. I cannot imagine it being permanent. Is there anything that helps at all?

I was prescribed the sickness chemotherapy drugs as I tried several normal antisickness tablets and even a drip which didn't work.. do they have any idea when it will end?

Have you spoken to the HG support charity? I know a lovely lady who volunteers for them, and I'm sure they'd still want to support you now.

Mental health support is abysmal due to the funding cuts. I heard it described as the (im)perfect storm on the news earlier, people aren't getting the help they desperately need. We're told that pregnancy and being a new mum should be full of joy, but you've been through a terrible trauma and you need support to process that. Have you been offered any therapy?
