Ok so this post has been a long time in the making, I wasnt really sure I wanted to talk about it but my blog is my tool to vent so thought what the hell.
My last post (proper one that is) was al cryptic, those who follow me on twitter know what its all about.
I have been diagnosed with Post Natal Depression =/ meh sucks to be me right now. I hate not being in control of my thoughts, feeling and general mental health.
They dont know what causes PND only that it is becoming more common as the years go on – usually you get what they like to call the Baby Blues within the first few weeks after giving birth, but I never really cried when Jack was born, I think mainly due to the shock of him being a month early and getting a c-section etc.
So yeah I am now a number in the grand scheme of people with depression =/ I am having good days and bad – the bad now greatly outnumbering the good. But I have just got my first round of medication today and it can take up to 4/6 weeks for them to kick in and I can be on them for as much as 1 year, depending on how I react to them.
They help lift my mood, and control the anxiety.
Im no fun to be around right now and dont even feel like blogging etc but having to force myself to in order to help me battle this.
So its out in the open now. Taking each day as it comes and will see how I fair on the pills.
