and admited to my OH, my doctor and myself that i am struggling. I thought i was just feeling down, but it is more than that, i'm depressed. I do feel better now i have admited it and the doc has made an urgent referal for me to see a counciler. He's holding off on pills for now as they can be a risk to the baby.
My bloods came back a mess for my underactive thyroid (again) so i have to go back to hospital on monday to see a consultant to see if they can get it under control. The doc said that an underactive thyroid mixed with depression and being pregnant on top is not a good mix and he is not suprised i'm not feeling well. He has signed me off work for 4 weeks but thinks its unlikely i'll be going back until after maternity leave as all 3 conditions affect my concentration and mood and its best for me to stay home and rest.

I feel like i'm at an AA meeting lol " Hi, my name is annette and i'm a depressed person" ha ha. I just wanted to admit it to you ladies too as there is no point in hiding it and feeling worse anymore xx

Aww hon, I'm sending you massive massive

I'm so glad you were finally able to admit it to OH and the doc and more importantly yourself, I've always found that's the hardest part and the biggest step. I have dealt with depression as has my DH and most of my family so if you ever ever need to talk, just pm me. Take care of yourself hon
