Thankyou for your welcome. It means a lot. I was feeling very alone tonight (despite bein around lots of folks!) so it's lovely to have are response so quickly. I've not been in touch with gp since starting citalopram 3 months ago. I missed the organised appointment and can't bring myself to make another. Even when I ran out of meds I just emailed a request and did without for a few days. I know it's stupid but i just don't want to see her. A few months ago I was desperate for as much help and input as possible. Now I just want to be left alone. I wouldn't mind seeing my Hv but she is overworked and said she'd call several weeks ago. Not sure what the next step is.

Hello and welcome
I'm sorry things aren't great ATM . Pni is a horrible illness and when ur low it's hard. I'm assuming you started to improve with meds abd cbt. How long have u felt low for? Could something have triggered this as that's quite common with pni? Blips are normal, although horrible , part of pni.however if this low mood is not shifting do try and see ur dr. If that hard now perhaps email her?
What dose of citalopram are you on? I'm asking because that was the antid I took. I started on 10 mg did well for a few months then stopped improving and my dose was upped to 20 mg. I found out later than 10mg is often too low a dose to be effective.

Thanks Monica. I am only on 10mg citalopram and it did seem to help initially.mymain diagnosis is postnatal anxiety disorder and I'd say that the anxiety is still lots better (although not fully gone) but my mood is low. I can't see areason for it and am trying to tell myself it's a blip so I don't worry that I'm going back into it all. Conversely I'm not sure I'm ready to cope with the outside world and all that being fixed demands. Thanks for your help xx

Hi
A bit like urself by the sounds of it my pni started of as weird physical symptoms then dreadful anxiety. Once anxiety had abated it turned to depression. However this can be hard to deal with too as life can seem so bleak and lacklustre.
I really would encourage you to speak /email dr as you don't have to feel this wayx

I agree with Monica you don't need to be this way if you don't feel able to ask your gp how about your health visitor Kat

Hi,
It has been so hard to get to you this time again. I used to post on this web 7 years ago when I was shocked with PNI when I got my third and last child. it took me two years with some medical support here to recover from it. I forgot completely about it and believed that God have made me well. I think God is a healer but just this October, I visited Bath in UK and the symptoms of my first attack came again. Blurred vision and now anxiety and panic dis orders.
This morning I woke up feeling like my life might never get better again. I looked for your website and read the founder's story again. I realized am not alone. I picked myself up and even got appetite for food. I started to relate to my kids well.
I am worried of the night, will i sleep? i worry about knives a lot and yet i have to work with them. I am a mother and i wonder why am attacked when i am not bearing anymore.i need to talk to someone. i have failed to get on your facebook but my Skype name is "nalokoka" my name is Janepher Sambaga Nsozi.
please help if you can.

Hello and welcome back
Do you think ur visit to Bath somehow brought back those painful memories of pni and that's why you are feeling this way?
I'm sorry these old feelings are back. Perhaps go and talk to your doctor? It sounds like you'd benefit from some sort of support ATM. Hopefully it's just a blip which you will pull through but do get help if you are feeling low. Had anything else happened in your life to make u feel this way?
Monica
