Diagnosed with pnd in january and have been on citralopram since - 20mg. Was doing much better until today and now I feel nothingy - flat, deflated and demotivated - it's horrible.

Retun to work pending and I don't feel like the same person I was before nor do I have the confidence that I once did - the depression has robbed it from me.

Dh has been wonderful throughout but don't even feel I can talk to him about this and I just don't know how I feel - I just feel nothing. I only made it to pick ds2 up from nursery because dh couldn't make it - otherwise I'd be in bed or on here. I feel like all my enthusiasm for life has leaked out of me and I want to hide again. No suicidal/sh tendencies at all, I just really can't be bothered with anything. Anyone got any words of wisdom/advice for me??

You say 'until today' - did it really come on this suddenly or has something been niggling for a while? If it did come on this sudden can you think of a trigger?

Have you been bf and is it time for your first period to return?

Sounds like you are having some very 'normal' concerns eg returning to work, low self esteem following depression and may be you are not able to cope with them in the same way as previously?

willsurvivethis has made some good points- if the medication has been working previously a change in hormones from periods, reduction in BF could be playing a big part in your mood dropping again.

My main thought would be returning to your GP to discuss your change in mood to see if they can help in any way through reviewing your medication or looking at other ways of supporting you.

You sound low and in need of support, hope this helps
