Hello Quootie - thought we should start a new thread.

Will be thinking about you tonight. Hope you can get some rest. Could you try having a bath or something? Can really help me to un-wind.

You have inspired me to clean my kitchen floor so I have scrubbed and washed and scrubbed so am all scrubbed out now

I am off to have a little baileys with crushed ice then have to go out at some point to drop off some prezzies and pick some prezzies up too!!!!

Yey!! Hope you are still feeling festive and speak soon x x x x x x x x x

Happy Christmas, Quootie. Enjoy yourself with ds - have a gorgeous time tomorrow

There are good times ahead for you - promise. x x x

Merry Christmas Everyone

Quootie - at ILS and very sporadic internet access but just wanted to say I hope today went OK and you found a way to have a happy Christmas at least a bit - hope DS enjoyed all those presents too!

Talk to you soon. x.

Went OK thanks. Morning was good, so was mass, but then I gave in and went to MILs and after that I was shattered the rest of the day, and didn't feel "right". I kept telling DH "we'll have a drink later...." incase he needed to go to out of hours GP. I was so tired in the end I fell asleep when I put DS to bed and didn't get to have an time to relax! Hopefully ill last a little longer today! DS loved his rocking horse... but the file is too pig to post a pic. on here

Rung them first thing, they are ringing back. Made it though!!!!!!!!!!

glad you got through it ok...are you feeling more positive at the moment?

ummmmm.... I guess, because im always putting all my hope into things! Stay away from this thread about 5pm if they havent rung though!

16th January. She asked if I was feeling any better, I said no. She asked if I still felt id do the same... I said yes. So she's getting someone to ring next week aswell to make sure im OK. What a J O K E And this appointment is to discuss what they can do in the short term until I get the proper help! Well, that's it then. Only another 3 weeks to go.

hi quootie, its pants isnt it? rapidly losing faith in the nhs at the mo

So am I... Looks like ill have to give up BFing and go on medication, just to get me through. I mean, people don't realise it's a life threatning illness, with CURES... it so treatable, and they are delaying that treatment. Well, I hope they get a great big kick up the arse, and these threads are published if I do OD again. 3 days was pure torture, never mind 3 weeks.

is there no ad that can be used while bfing?

here

THERE ARE ADS YOU CAN TAKE WHEN BREASTFEEEDING

also, you say , if you OD again'..if you are feeling suicidal, you need to make that abundantly clear.....

paxil is sertraline i think, just the usa name. im on sertraline and its v good

lulu - I think I need a great big whack of medication, go the whole hog. Back on diazepam, sleeping tablets and ADs. He's 9 months today, so... maybe it's time to be a little selfish and try and accept I did my best.

I made it perfectly clear to them, she sort of said "oh dear". And asked if she put the crisis number in the letter.

got a good mind to email this thread to the nhs website.

i suppose it is weighing up how giving up breastfeeding before you are ready, will make you feel, compared to the ADs etc you can take while you are feeding......

thats a good point lulu.... I have thought about it, when GP said I might have to give up to change medication, and I thought the bad feeling of giving up BFing might outweight the good of the medication. Maybe ill try breastfeeding safe ADs first, then ill know I tried...

lol, Merry, feel free. If you do, don't forget the other one! I was always defending the NHS when people slagged it off etc., but, honestly, it IS the biggest load of clap trap sometimes. They know of at least 4 suicide attemps... not little ones either - I think im just very resilient!

lol, i nearly died while giving birth and twice after, i didn't even get an explanatiopn and my notes are inaccurate

well, if we are having an NHS rant, they cocked up my abortion, forgot to give me a 2 week checkup, so I bled without any knowledge of the fact it wasn't normal, for 4 weeks, by then I was so weak, had to have a D & C and was on oxygen... being discharged, I said "do you think I need iron tablets?" "oh yeah...." said the doctor, popping off to go get me some. They should never have let me go home after that abortion, I fainted and was hemorraging... my own stupid fault I guess really, but im sure they have mishandled every aspect of my care.

Merry, im so sorry hun {{hugs}}. THIS is why I wanted to become some sort of politician... I just wish someone would do something before the NHS gets even worse!
