Ok so I went to the Dr.s today to get some more AD's, Iv been feeling serverly down lately (cant stop crying, very snappy and as ashamed to admit been feeling suicidal!!!) . The DR upped my dose so fingers crossed that may help but when asked if iv been feeling like self harming or anything like that I just broke down in tears and told her the truth, but I also said that I love my kids and they are my life so I wouldnt do anything. She knows that I have support from family and DP, But could she get the social services involved? Both my kids are happy and healthy and never up drs or hospital with suspicious marks on them, could she report this without me knowing? I feel bad enough as it is at the moment without having the idea of some do gooder breathing down my neck telling me how to be a "good mum".

I don't think the doc would have any cause to get them involved, so don't worry. I am in the same boat as you but have never even thought about SS getting involved. If the kids are happy and healthy they won't, I'm sure.

Not unless the Dr felt like the children were at risk of being harmed themselves, which from reading your post, they're not. Or if he thought you were unfit to look after them and they were being neglected, which I'm sure they're not.

I'm sorry you're feeling so down, hopefully things will get better soon
