oh my gosh so much better I can't believe it!
I've read two books in two weeks (I couldn't sit still to read a book for the last year or so). I'm doing housework but not feeling stressed about what I am or am not doing and I'm getting out of the house every day for a walk.

Sounds dumb I know but it's these little things that I couldn't do before that make me realise how bad I was.

All the physical side effects are pretty much gone now except I couldn't sleep for a few hours last night (random)]]> Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:11:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=408932&title=well-here-i-am#408932 <![CDATA[well here I am : Cut yourself a lot of slack, Bobbie,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=408131&title=well-here-i-am#408131 Author: LittleBug

Cut yourself a lot of slack, Bobbie, it's a hard time so saying no to stuff is definitely ok. Hopefully the opportunity will come up again at a better time though!


Star for your DH for being so good for you and getting you some help. Doesn't it feel good to know that he's got your back? It's nice to know that you have someone to lean on that will support you and do what's best for you.

How are you finding things now?]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:09:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=408131&title=well-here-i-am#408131 <![CDATA[well here I am : That&#039;s a bummer Bobbie.

Hmm I went to coffee group this morning and could only stay an hour as I was getting totally wound up and stressed. I'm not sure what was up with that.

Also I got offered contract work for 3 weeks (work from home) yesterday and I had to turn it down as I knew I couldn't do it at the moment - I'm pretty bummed as I've been wanting an opportunity like that for ages. Hopefully it will come up again.

But I'm smiling at the 'doolally' comment - what a great word ]]> Wed, 28 May 2008 14:47:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=396918&title=well-here-i-am#396918 <![CDATA[well here I am : Yay for you and having the courage...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=393965&title=well-here-i-am#393965 Author: porcelina

yeah i found that too, i felt a bit like i was nauseous and lost my appetite completely, and had all sorts, but as i said in another post, they do tend to be while you're getting used to them and then they become less frequent. Good on you for going and getting help.

thanks guys,
I feel so much better just being in here and writing.

Terri it's weird because I thought it would be like a questionnaire thing but DH did most of the talking and I just kind of confirmed things and I guess the doc got what she needed from that. Also I don't actually remember a heap of the conversation - lucky DH was there.

The only question I think I actually got asked as such was to rate my self on a scale of 1-10 where 10 was really happy and 1 was really sad. But she took notes about other stuff we said. I think it would vary from case to case because of what I have read about PND symptoms I didn't have some of them.

But also the catalyst for me being taken in was the fact that the other morning I was too overloaded to do anything including picking Rowan up and I was at the point where I was too scared to leave the house.

The meds I'm on are making me feel like I have MS

Im sure we all feel like that! I certainly felt that I wasnt depressed, that I should just be able to cope like everyone else seemed to be.
Good on you for going.
Plunket may have a pnd support group, ours does and its good to see that your not alone! Also I found that talking a counsellor really helped too. Get someone to help u out a bit and take baby for a walk or something while u have a wee break if poss. Also get yourself a big pot of fishoil capsules! They help too!]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 17:58:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=391304&title=well-here-i-am#391304 <![CDATA[well here I am : Hugs Bobbie I&#039;m glad that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=391220&title=well-here-i-am#391220 Author: Freesia

2 weeks! Thanks for the head's up - I didn't know it would take so long. The Doc probably said so but TBH I wasn't taking much in.

I should clarify lest I cause any offence - I'm not embarrassed at all by it but I was embarrassed before I went in because I thought I wasn't 'bad enough' and so the doc would tell me to stop wasting her time if that makes sense.

Yeah I'm already wondering why I waited so long. 20/20 hindsight aye?]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 14:14:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=391034&title=well-here-i-am#391034 <![CDATA[well here I am : Don&#039;t feel embarrassed about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=390863&title=well-here-i-am#390863 Author: mummy_becks

Don't feel embarrassed about it at all.

It should take about 2 week for the neds to kick in and then you will wonder why it took so long for you to go and get help.

It took me a while to go too after everything that happened my house.

My DH finally dragged my sorry butt off to the doc's this morning and I've had confirmed what I've denied for months. I have PND.

I felt soo embarrassed going in there - like she'd just think I was a big sook and tell me to harden up - lol! I have no idea now why I thought that. She was awesome and really helpful.

Now I've spoken to her and DH about it all I can see in retrospect I was far from alright. Infact when she asked me to rate my emotions on a scale of 1 - 10 I started crying because I realised that I can't remember the last time I felt anything above a 6.

So I've taken my first pill and I'm sitting here feeling much better - not from the meds (I doubt they work that fast) but just that I can stop living in denial about the whole thing.

And I must send much love to my dear husband who has not only put up with this for months and months but also had enough courage and love to MAKE me go to the doctor even though I was adamant that I was fine ]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 11:55:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17479&PID=390859&title=well-here-i-am#390859
