Don't know if it will help you or not Jazzy but I tell myself when I have horrible thoughts that it's because I'm ill and if I wasn't I wouldn't be thinking them or feeling like that. It works for me sometimes xxx

Rach - make sure your dr knows you're breast feeding if you do decide to go down the medication route, mine at the time was half way through writing out a prescription when I bought it up and had to change the drugs she was prescribing me . I've got a much better dr now. Don't be pushed into anything you don't want to do, if you don't feel something is right for you at the moment you can always change your mind later x

That sounds like a really good idea regarding your notes Shifter. I think that's something I'll consider doing, I have big patches of labour that I can't remember anything about.

My birth plan consisted of a water birth with gas & air, I ended up having pethadine then I was taken down for an epidural but didn't have one because there was no one to give me one and had a ventous delivery as my baby was in distress. I definitely need to talk through it all and get sorted what happened in my own head so I feel I can have another baby and not live in fear for the whole pregnancy and then have an even worse birth experience because I'm so scared of what's going to happen.

I'm seeing a new therapy person next week so hopefully I'll be able to work through things.

Are you ok Aly?

I went to the docs yesterday and he told me that tabs help as it replaces the chemicle in your brain that is missing and if that chemicle is missing then you will feel as if you have no control over any thing
