Having a very very bad day today, Crying,worrying, don't want to keep suffering on the way I am, im sure this is due to starting my period but I cant go through this not wanting to live anymore for 2weeks every month. Im ao depressed and scared of everything and I hate the fact that I still need to take diazipam after over 9 weeks on medication just over a week on the higher dose? Surely still feeling this anxious and depressed isn't normal after this long??? I just dont know. im sure im never going to recover because im still suffering I just cant take it much more xxxx

Pmt can make u really feel much worse even if u didn't suffer with it pre pni. I was recommended vitamin B and evening primrose supplements. I still take it to this day as it made big difference. Check first to see if you can take it though.
I hope the day improved . I'm sorry it was such a tough one . What did dr say at ur last appt . It can take a few weeks for meds increase to kick in but it does sound as if u need more support to help u through this difficult patch .
I know life feels bleak now but do have hope things will improve. Have u tried relaxation techniques at all? Not a cure all but can really take the edge off the anxiety.
Keep talking to usx

Hi Rochelle, please do what you need to do to be heard. Stand up for yourself. You need help and obviously they aren't listening and keep suggesting more and more of the same meds. You deserve to be heard and helped. There are things that can be done to help - hope is not gone. I know it probably feels like it has - I've been there. Sending you huge big hugs. Xxx

Hi rochelle,
I just want to echo what the others have said, you really need to be honest about your inner most feelings hun. I don't want to sound patronising and it's definitely not meant that way but they can't read minds. You have to tell them everything you are feeling. If you are sitting thinking about suicide you really do need help. Is there someone you could show these posts to? Could you phone the samaritans? Your local health emergency line? Anyone? You sound so desperate hun and it's frustrating for all of us to read this and only help with words :-( you need physical help and support. Please be brave and do this for yourself, there is no need for you to be suffering like this. We are always here to listen, please please keep talking. At one time or another most of us have been where you are now, let that give you even a hint of hope that you can get through this.
SJ xx

Thank you for replying ladies. I have a psychiatric Dr who comes around to see me once a week, he is from the mental health team, who were sent out by my local Dr because I told her I was suicidal. Ive told my psychiatric Dr I have suicidal thoughts and that since being on these meds it went from a worry, to a thought that doesn't concern me to now imagining the best way to end it all (almost fantasizing I suppose. My psychiatric Dr has seen me hysterical and ive told him about all these thoughts and he just says take more diazipam. It will get better. I just feel like he just wants me off his books asap and to be rid of me. I have an appointment at the mother and baby unit tomorrow for anxiety management, I wonder if I could ask any of the staff their for advice? I just don't know. Im sorry for some of the things I have wrote but it's how I honestly feel. Im thankful for all of you taking the time to reply xxx

You never have to be sorry hun! These thoughts and feelings are real, you can't control them at the minute. It's a horrible place to be in. I'm gutted for you having this Dr that doesn't take you seriously, I know how much a good Dr can make a difference. Yes please tell the mother and baby unit what you've said here. Not all health care professionals are like that Dr. Most do want to help. Keep talking xxx

Reading your posts reminded me a lot of when I reacted to antidepressants (citalapram) and became suicidal because of them. Doctors kept upping my dose and it made me progressively worse. if you really believe things have gone very quickly downhill since starting to take yours then get another opinion on whether they should be switched. Sending hugs your way. It will get better xxx

Hi How are you. Do tell the staff at the mbu how ur feeling - u need someone professional and in the know to tell u what the best course of action is given that antids are making u feel worse - unfortunately doesn't sound as if ur gp is doing that. I so agree with posts above - u have to shout for proper help all too often even though that's the last thing u feel like doingxxx
