Vic, I am on prozac too and I am breastfeeding so it is safe. I think it is one of the few cleared for pregnancy but I would advise that you talk to your Dr about this. Ignore those who tell you to be more positive, they don't understand anyhting about depression. You are a great mum, you just are not feeling too good. If you had a bad cold that lasted for ages no-one would bat an eyelid yet depression is an illness just the same. Just take each day as it comes and hopefully your tablets will soon work. Just remember though it may take a couple of weeks but just hang in there. Massive hugs.

we are all here for you Vic.

my main signs of depression was when my OCD got worse

i dont think my problem is depression its the OCD that brings me down. i go through stages though, you sound like you have a good doc though so your in good hands just give the tablets a go and see how they go.

miss our chats on msn too

you used to have me in stitches some nights

Hi Hun, good for you for going and getting help, its no bad thing to have done so. The most important thing which Ive noticed from your symptom list is not to feel like you have to e the parfect mum and housewife. This is one of the main causes of PND, that you dont feel like your doing a good enough job and putting to much pressure on yourself. If you want to have a sleep and dont get the housework done who cares! If you run out of food and dont get to the shops get a take away. Just try to take things as they come and relax without putting pressure on yourself.

Take care hun and hopefully you will be feeling a lot better soon.

Thanks everyone. i think i will have to try my tablets soon. maybe tonight. I've had a bit of a bad day. not crying or anything just back to the numb feeling again. and i feel like i can't do my housework at all so i haven't even tried today. i just keep going out.

by the way i just wanted to apologise cos i do read posts but i feel stressed at replying - i know that sounds weird. there are so many threads and i feel like i should post in all of them so i don't post in any. just another part of feeling overwhelmed by silly things i guess xx
