Do you see a specialist midwife or a mental health team specialising in supporting women with AND? If not, is that something available to you?
Phone someone. Talk. They want to support you. That's why you have their numbers.

Why do you feel you need to be sectioned? Have you plans to harm yourself or someone else?

Hormones can make you feel that way. If you can't get hold of midwife how about a health visitor? Or call 111 and they may be able to advise you as it's a weekend.

How about talking to pandas foundation. They help people with pre and post natal depression.

www.pandasfoundation.org.uk

You definitely need to speak to someone and preferably a professional with experience of similar issues.

Is your other half able to help find some support for you?

Why is your DH leaving you on your own if you're feeling so bad? Does he have to go to the wedding? Could you go with him?

You won't be sectioned for feeling tearful . It's extremely difficult to be sectioned. I was sectioned In April and had no choice at all about it . It was hell and a terrifying place so I can guarantee it's not the place you want to go . It was fucking horrendous and there were some severely ill patients in at the same time as me . I'm sorry your feeling so low but honestly the best thing for you is talking . Ring the samaratins and explain how you feel . Then ring midwife tomorrow as it will be on call staff on a weekend so may not be your usual midwife .

Mumof41987 · 17/09/2017 15:00

Is your dh at home now ?? Have you wrote a thread before about him going away and how u don't want him too ? I remember a pregnant lady posting a similar thread because she didn't want her husband going away ? Is it maybe because you don't want him going away that your feeling so low ? Why don't you want him going away ?? Do you not trust him or just not want him leaving you at home ??

If you can't cope then tell your husband, I can't imagine he's want to leave you to go away when you are in such a state.

They should answer....
