I am going to the doctor tomorrow. They have had me on homeopathic tablets for 3 weeks but they don't work. Everything overwhelms me. John thinks I am insane and angry all the time. I feel like it is all out of control, I worry constantly and I need to feel a wee bit happiness soon as I have forgotton what it is like. The baby is sleeping, he went to sleep at 6pm, I have botched his routine but I can't have him awake yet I need time for me. John is away as usual I am alone as usua. I am always alone, John is never here. He thinks supporting me is shouting and bullying me better, I just don't understand what is going on with me.

I went to the doctors today and got medication but I am frightened to take them as I am still breastfeeding. John is being negative towards me. he thinks I should pull myself together. I feel rubbish to day.

hi hilsbils
im so sorry youre feeling like this - but your husband must realise that this is an illness and you cannot simply 'pull yourself together'. you need time to heal in the same way asyou would a 'physical' illness or breaking a bone.
you're not going insane -the very fact you think this means youre not! its the anxiety - evrything is on overdrive and overwhelming for you at the moment- this will pass.
as to the breastfeeding -your doctor would not prescribe anythin that would harm you or your baby. i have been taking antidepressants for 9 months and i am still breastfeeding! my daughter is fine, healthy and normal but it is only natural to worry and i think that the illness can cause you to worry about these things even more.
how old is your baby? when did you begin to feel like this? im sorry you havent got the support you need. do you have a midwife/ nurse to visit?
we are all here for you
