Welcome to the site chocolate and making it to the doc's is your first step to getting over this. You'll also find this site great and you are by no means alone in this.

Hi Chocolate x
I only let people know how I was feeling 2 weeks ago, but am so glad I did because my babies mean the world to me. Be strong, and make sure you contact yr doctor because they will help get the support and help u need.
I am here if u need to chat. x

I found it harder to tell my mum than the GP to be honest. My oh told my mum!
It's obviously totally up to you what support you look for and if you prefer to confide in your mum, oh and this site, then carry on doing that. The GP and hv come in handy for referrals to professionals, details of support groups/mother and baby groups, any medication and for providing you with the chance to talk to someone not emotionally involved with you.
I went to the GP as after talking to the hv, I decided I needed more than just my oh could give me. At the time, I was convinced that my mother and sisters didn't really care about how I was coping as they weren't visiting me very often and hadn't babysat for weeks. The truth of course, was very different and I can see looking back that they were reacting to my flawless oscar winning acting skills - they all thought I was coping incredibly and took me not answering the phone to mean that I was out and about (not even close to the truth!).
I found the meds worked for me but if you don't want to take anything, the GP and HV can give you other help. The more you ask for the more you get and I would really recommend taking everything you can. This is an illness and like all other illnesses, the more you rest and the more care you get, the quicker you recover x
