Could do with some support for a couple of months...

I have had to come off my ADs (sooner than I would have done) because we have decided to try for another baby in a couple of months and I need them out of my system.

My genius of a doctor (I know he is trying to do what he thinks is best) says that I should stay off any ADs unless I actually HAVE antenatal depression again.

Problem is, I am already having anxiety attacks and feeling low again I hadn't realised how much the pills had helped.

I want to be clear of the meds before I conceive, so please don't ask me to go back and get pg safe ones until I am past the first trimester (yes, I know many people have had them, but I am still worried).

Just really need a place to come and offload for the next couple of months. Being honest about how I am feeling normally helps me a lot. I am starting to exercise too

Some of you know who I am, but you know my reasons for namechanging, so don't out me.

I am sane again today

How can my emotions change that much with hormones????

Glad youre ok tryinsoon - are there any identifiable triggers? The trouble with hormones is that no-one knows WHAT they're doing from day to day!

Didn;t read the 'red-button' post - hope it was not too insensitive.

Tiredness, too much wine and hormones all together make me slump massively - obviously I can never SEE that until it is over (hence many arguments about "It is NOT my hormones! You have been looking at me funny for hours" etc )

Post wasn't insensitive - they just know who I am and forgot

Tiredness wine and hormones makes us into Hags. (well me anyway).
