Well, can you believe it is SNOWING again, I really thought spring was here today as we had blue skies and sun- how disapointing! I feel absolutely exhausted and I dont know why, I have just got over a skin infection so it could be that or is it the depression back, I am extremely irritable shouting at everyone, my periods have finally returned after ten months. I dont have the energy for anything, I feel I should be happy and full of energy, living my life to the full!! but its just not there, I feel empty, just plodding along, dont I have everything to be happy about? six beautiful healthy children, a supportive husband(most of the time), a beautiful appartement, so whats happened, why am I feeling so fed up, am I asking too much of myself??

Hi Moe It's actually snowing here today - absolutely freezing! I know what you mean around feeling that you should be happy but are not. I have healthy children and thankfully now, a healthy husband and a nice house..but it didn't stop me feeling the way I did with PNI.. Anyway, I hope this finds you having a better day - maybe your cycle returning might help? Love Hopefulxx

Today was one of my worse days and its just going on aned on, I cant cope anymore, I cry over everything, I just cant do anything, I feel so negative and I feel so tired, I wonder if pnd is turning into pms, I thought today that maybe I should start taking medicine again as life was so much easier when I did, I did not feel like this hardly at all but I dont want to take anything , if I keep feeling like this I might have to. I really want to feel better as I felt extremely bad today.

Hi Moe
poor you. My CPN said that is very common for PNI to turn into PMT, even if you didn't have PMT before. so it could well be that. Offload on here, it might take the edge of it. Can you get out to do something nice? Would that help?
My godmother lives in Stockholm and she was saying it's really cold. Funnily enough since having PNI, the miserable winter weather gets to me. Roll on Spring!
Take care
Love
Monica

Having problems with marriage again doesnt seem to work, had to leave home for a few hours, wanted my husband to say come back but during the process found out that he didnt care at all, spoke to a neighbour who does care, she said that I have had a hard time giving birth to seven kids, that it takes alot out of the body, that I am tired mentally and pysically and I need to take care of myself, I do relate to that!! I am worn out mentally. My life has changed I need to except that, I have been through so much. I thought my husband would love me and care for me to death do us part, unfortunately that is not so, it is difficult to except after twelve bumpy years of marraige. I know pnd can put a strain on a relationship/marriage and some break down with the strain. It looks like our marriage wont withhold the strain. I spoke to my son in Ireland on the phone havent spoken to him for ages hes doing really well, which has made me feel happier, I was worried about him.

Hi Moe
I think PNI or any illness can put tremendous strain on the best marriages. Some men are super supportive, understanding or at least willing to put up with the difficult times, others, like my bf, aren't. I hope things improve with your husband. Have you tried counselling? He's posted on here, hasn't he? He seemed to understand about the illness, but neverthe less it's hard. Do you have other people around you for support? My counsellor said that soemtimes the people closet to you can't support you, but the imprtnant thing is that you have access to some support .
Take care
Monica
I'm sure physcially and emotionally having seven kids must take it out of you. I've got 2 and feel drained most of the time, even though they're good. do you get any time for yourself? Once I started feeling a bit better, that really boosted me. I used to go to aerobics, swimming, visit friends, jsut for a breather.

Hi, I have been dealing with a very sad loss, my mother-in-law died on March 18, she was very sick had heart failure, I was with her from when she fell asleep and didnt wake up(coma) which was on the Sunday night, she died sadly on the Wednesday evening with both my husband and I by her side. She used to be with us when we celebrated easter. It has affected our children very badly. I am feeling ok, just very sad on occasion.

Thankyou, we did not expect her to die , it was a shock especially to my dear husband who suprisingly is taking it really well, its me that is affected the most probably because I was with her at the hospital and saw her deteriate very quickly and as I am suffering from depression it affected me more deeply, I have been feeling very tired. Thanks again for your support.

I can finally say that I feel much better, I gave birth to Liam one year ago today(doesnt time fly?) Its hard to believe that Liam is one TODAY!!!!! its such a relieve to come this far, hopefuly I pray that I have recovered. Today Liam is going to have a party, he seemed abit shocked that we were all singing to him when he woke up this morning. Well I will tell you how mine and his day went later.
