My psychiatrist seems to think that my current problems are from my teen years and have just been agravated by my recent pregancies. My daughter was born 3 years ago, my son just 2 months ago. I was on Prozac and Stillnoct after my daughter and am currently on Anafranil (150mg). I have too much energy. I haven't eaten a meal in 2 months. I don't want to sleep. I feel I have no friends. I hate myself and frequently think of suicide. I shout at my daughter that I hate her (and I hate myself for doing this). Is there anyone out there that has been as bad as me? And lived through it?
Thank you.

I know what you mean by feeling as though you have no friends I to have the same problem but I have alot of friends the problem being I'm the only one out of my circle of friends with a baby so somtimes they really don't understand what it intails. I used to b out alot had a great social life and was always laughing now I'm the complete oppisite and although I know myself I've changed they see that as well. Unbalanced is a term to harsh I mean we really are pushed as far as a person can possibly be because we're so dependent on I thought I would be able to breeze being a mum as I've worked as a nursery nurse all my life just shows you eh. Try not b to hard on yourself at the end of the day if you need somone to talk to I'll always reply. take care Kindest regards Angela  |

I understand how you feel when you say that you hate yourself for shouting at your daughter, my son is 7 and I suffered with PND when I had him but I was only young and didn't realise what was happening. I now have just had twins and have PND again. Although I sometimes feel that I never quite got over it with him. I too feel that I seem to be constantly shouting at him. I feel gulity that I should be enjoying bringing up my children and I'm not. I too have felt suicidal, well actually more that I felt the children would be better off without me and that I didn't deserve to live feeling the way I do, but I am starting to feel better now, probaly to do with the doctor doubling my tablets! and although I have bad days I have good too and can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that I will survive this, as will you. Good luck  |
