Hiya Hannah,
I know the sleepless nights well. GJ is almost 7 months, and she will go for a week sleeping through and then for 2 weeks, she'll be up every two hours, but nothing in our routine has changed, then all of a sudden, she's back to sleeping again. It gets so frustrating. Alan works shifts so he can't always get up with her, so it's left to me, then I have them all day, but things will improve babes.
Susanne xxxx

feeling abit better went to baby massage while my other two was at school, it was nice and relaxing and i really enjoyed it. the kids have been good this afternoon, its been a nice calm atmosphere. two tired to cook so we had Chinese for tea and were going to sit down as a family and watch a film, which will be nice. then I'm going to try for a early night.

Hi Hannah That sounds like a lovely day!!!! I'm looking forward to whenChloe's old enough to cuddle up with us on the sofa and watch a dvd. Is baby massage good? I know it sounds silly but what do you do at baby massage? Do you massage the little one? Might look into that withChloe and see if there's any near me. Sounds good!

feeling so exhaused angel stayed at herdads last night but my baby woke up instead cos hes got a rotten cold. he woke up at 3.30am crying i had to feed him and cuddle him to get him back to sleep this took a hour. then he woke up again at 7am so im completely exhaused. taking him to play group so hopefully that will wear him out so i can have a nap this afternoon.

today is a bad day for me. i feel so low i cant stop crying i feel so emotional. today i feel as if my world is crashing around my feet and i don't know how to fix it. my partner has phoned my c.p.n to see if they can increase my tablets as they don't feel there helping me anymore. my panic attacks have got worse there that bad it makes me feel as if I'm going to die. i feel like running and hiding until it all goes away.

Back from Nursery - but doing dinner so on and off here - out to a play group in about 45 mins - but I am around wasn't coming on. But if you need to talk I am here. it can be awful when weepy and I often feel on the verge of things still. I keep going but have very falt days and then do nothing - today is a busy day for me. Even cleaned the kids rooms - very unsuall ..
any way prattling on as I seem to have lost what to say. But big hug sfor you!

Hi Hannah Sorry you're having a bad day. I'm here too if you need me. I know how you feel when it makes you feel as if you're going to die - I used to find the panick attacks seemed to hurt me so much - felt so physical and painful but they will get less. It's definately worth seeing your CPN as it can take a while to get your meds right. When I came out of hosp I was on the lowest dose (15mg of mirtazapine) of my tabs and I though they were helping - was on this dose for about 2 months until a really bad spell in mid Feb - then I phoned the hosp and asked for an emergency app with my dr as I felt that things were getting worse again and I couldnt cope - I really wanted to be admitted to hosp again (which the dr's also agrred with) as I felt I couldnt cope with Chloe at home but I knew I had to so just had to battle through it. I thought I can either feel this bad in hosp waiting for the tabs to kick in or I can be at home, trying to take care of CHloe with help from Mark. I felt like I would be in pan whereever I was and if I was in hosp I would have had the guilt of not being there for Chloe. Anyway, they doubled my dose of tablets and it really does seem to have helped. Not really had the spaciness and the anxiety is much less. I think it takes time for your body to adjust to these tablets and you've been on them a while and if thye're not working for you it does seem like it's time to tell your CPN this. You're definately doing the right thing asking for help sooner rather than later, before you feel any worse. Take care and let me know how you're doing - keep battling on. Love Marion.

Hi Hannah So sorry to hear you're so low and upset today.. How are you now? I suffered panic attacks and breathlessness and it is just awful, I know how much it can get you down. Hope your CPN gets back to you quickly. You will get better, it does take time. If upping the meds helps, then go for it. Here for you anytime Love & Hugs HopefulXX
