Admitted I have problem - seeing docs Wednesday

eeyore007 · Jan 22nd, 2010, 05:29 AM

Hi,

I've finally given in and am seeing the doctor next wednesday due to feeling so blooming down.

Have felt very anxious and sad for a while, and although people say it gets better, I've been feeling worse and worse.

Yesterday I looked up PND and a fair few of my symptoms fit, so have finally considered that it may be a possibility.

Spoke to OH (who cannot do enough) when he came in yesterday and bless him he'd been looking into it too and thinks I have it but didn't want to say, but left me to chose to come to that conclusion.

Normally have bad days or really good days, no happy medium. Doesn't affect me looking after LO and I think she's unaware of how I feel as I try to be jolly round her and she's not once seen me cry.

Have spoken to mum and dad too and they are now understanding how I feel.

Anyway, will be seeing doc and hopefully they can give me some tips on how to feel better. Just hope it doesn't take too long!!!

It sounds like you have a good support base at home with your parents and your OH,but so glad you have decided to see your Dr!!
Hope you get some answers and can start to feel 'balanced' again soon.
Good luck and loads of *hugs* xx

Thanks aly888 - funny how you've just hit the nail on the head - it's that I'm not balanced. That helps as it will be an easier and perfect way to describe how I feel!

Sorry you're feeling like this, it's the last thing you need when you've got a brand new LO eh? Hopefully your Drs visit will get you back on track again. good luck

Good luck at the doctors next week hun. I was diagnosed with PND when Joe was 2 months old after struggling for quite a while. My Dr was fab and so understanding and I am now feeling alot better.
My days are balanced, exactly like you said and asking for help was the best thing that I did (sorry, I sound like something out of a dr's magazine don't I, but it's true).
Hope your appointment goes well on Wednesday and I've found loads of support on here too.

xx
