hi, I’m looking for personal experiences related to anti depressants / mirena coil.
I’m currently feeling really low, anxious and experiencing huge rage spells several times a day. Everything is irritating me and I explode over the smallest things.
my 5yo son is extremely challenging at the moment and struggling at school too. He is showing ADHD tendencies and I’m going through the GP referral process.
i am really struggling to cope with his behaviour, his meltdowns are aggressive and he hurts me daily. I’m finding myself feeeling really negatively towards him and like I’m holding a grudge against the times he’s hurting me. I really hate it and feel so guilty for how I’m behaving with him. Every day I’m trying to stay calm, discipline where I can and ride out the meltdowns, but sometimes I just explode and I’ve screamed in his face, pushed him away from me when he’s hurt me and broken down in front of him.
I feel really low and my anxiety is soaring. I’ve always been an anxious person and struggled with PND last year after my DC2.
Last December I had the mirena coil fitted and it’s been 6 months but I’m still having regular periods and my mood swings are crazy. I’m wondering if this is worse since the coil. I called my GP to explain how I’ve been feeling and to ask if I could have it removed.
she recommended not removing it as it’s unlikely to affect my hormones and recommended I start antidepressants, Sertraline to help my mood.
I’ve been hesitant to use anti d’s as I don’t feel depressed, but quite frankly I hate the way I feel and how I’m behaving around my children and husband.
im wondering whether to start the sertraline or push back and have the coil removed first. Have you got any experience of either of those to help me make a decision? Thank you
