post natal depression

[stillsmiling1]

Hi,

Not sure how I have ended up here writing this, keep making appoitments at the docs then cancelling them at the last miunte, I think I need some help . Have 2 chn 1ds 3yrs and 1 dd 3months. Feel very low, irrated with husband have no pateience with my beautiful son, cant be bothered to do anything, but fweel annoyed if I'm not doing anything. I have no reason to be fed up. I know I need to see a doc ,I know what I need to do, but I think I need to hear from others first, not sure why?

you need the support chick, been there, done that...Yes you do need to speak to your gp?HV ask for counselling as well/instead of AD's quite often being able to really talk about your problems helps you understand them better

thanks been to pick up chn will try and make another appointment it's alsways nice to know others are in the same boat. whats your story

Is there someone you can tell when you make an appointment? So they'll know if you cancel, and that might serve as an incentive NOT to cancel.

Do you think it would help to write down how you feel? When I was diagnosed with PND I was so extremely low I couldn't cover it up, but by the time I had counselling I could cover it up, and did - just couldn't help it. So I would write notes when at my lowest ebb, and just gave them to the psychologists, and we used that to start things off, rather than me sitting there politely and saying 'I'm fine, really'.
