Muma3 - I really hope you don't mind me coming over to your thread. Tell me to bog off if you like
I think you're being really tough on yourself. It's hard on MN when you post something like that because people want to have an opinion so assume you want to hear it.
I did disagree with the way you handled it, yes but that said, you did the best you could and no one can ask anything more of you. You sound like a very caring and conscientious mum and I hope you scared the living daylights out of your DD - she won't be doing that again too soon
Please do take your anti-Ds - the GP wouldn't have given them to you if he didn't think they would help. Many of us have been on them - 1 in 3 women - and while they're no magic cure, they will help you through the dark times.
In the meantime, think about getting yourself some more support in RL. Have you contacted Gingerbread or Homestart? Is your HV aware of the situation? Take good care xx
