Ems Diary

[emjay]

Hi everyone Iv been looking on this site for 2 years now and thought I would finally make my first post!

I suffered really bad anxiety/ depression after the birth of my little girl who is now 2!! When she was 9 months old id had enough and finally started taking anti depressants. I was amazed that within 2 weeks id started feeling a lot better. I stayed on them for 10 months and in the end was feeling completely normal and like myself again which was so nice

I weaned off them in march of this year as I was getting married in July and wanted to try for a new baby straight after..

However! Iv been slowly seeing a return of all my old symptoms and here I am 8 months after coming off meds and I'm feeling rubbish 24/7 again! Decided to not try for a baby yet till I'm feeling better again and Iv made an appt with my gp for next Friday to discuss going back on my meds.

Just looking for a bit of support really and thought it would be a positive thing to start a diary! X

Poor you and well done asking for help. I took antidepressants throughout my third pregnancy with no problems so I know it's not an binary decision. Perhaps talk to your gp about this so they choose the right drug

Welcome and look forward to hearing more from you

Hello and welcome

I'm so pleased you've posted as you'll get support here. It's really good you've made appr to drs. There's no point struggling. I guess the old feelings could have returned for a no of reasons.

Would u consider taking them again ? If u wish to try for a baby there are meds deemed low risk and a number of ladies on here have taken them and had healthy babies / might be worth mentioning that to Dr .

I think a diary is s great idea - it can help monitor ur moods as well as offloading x
