Yeah I know but it's just hard. I'll talk to my doctor at my next appointment.

I'm always here I you need to chat.

Hi ladies, I hope you don’t mind me posting in this thread but I’m at a pretty low point right now.

I can not remember the last time I was truly happy. I mean things happen that make me happy, but then I just go back to feeling like crap. I don’t want to do anything, go any where or see anyone. I just feel like everyone is an smurf, nothing good ever happens to me, and I’m really starting to hate my physical self as well as my smurffy attitude. I struggle to get out of bed in the mornings and I struggle to make it through the day. I don’t do anything that I don’t absolutely have to do.

I know my best friend and parents are worried about me. She told me about a month ago she was worried I was going to kill myself. My step-dad in particular has taken to calling me every Friday night to check on me. I haven’t had suicidal ideation, but sometimes just think how nice it would be to go to sleep and never wake up.

Last Friday I had to fight all day not to breakdown at work, so I finally made a doctors appointment. I saw the doctor on Monday, and now I just think he is an smurf. He mentioned PPD, due to terminating my pregnancy this January. He said he won’t prescribe me antidepressants until I have been evaluated by a psych. I know he is just trying to do the right thing, but I just feel like any god damn junkie in this city can put his hand out and get a prescription for anything, but I have to fight through it and learn ‘coping skills’. Trust me, if I couldn’t cope with what I have been through, I would have left this world a long time ago. I wouldn’t even know where to start to tell a psych about all my problems.

I had to go in today for blood tests to make sure it’s not a vitamin D deficiency or a thyroid problem etc. Then I go back on Saturday to complete a Mental Health Care Plan, and that will qualify me to be referred to psych. I have to have 2 to 3 sessions with the psych to be evaluated, and from there a decision will be made about medication and/or ongoing psych counselling. Such a smurfing long drawn out process.

Sorry this was long, just kind of had to get it out of my head.

Wow, that sucks  
Sounds like it's just your MD's policy to refer rather than prescribe.

My GP prescribes meds for anxiety without an eval.

I know its a hassle, and it should def be easier, but please follow through with your appointments so you can go on to feeling better.

Best of luck

Thanks  

We did the mental health care plan today, so now I just have to make my first appointment with the psych. I going to try to follow the whole process through because I know it’s the right thing to do and I will hopefully be able to be happy with life again…

I think I'm going to have to quit BFing. My bipolar episodes are getting worse. I can't be on the meds while BFing. Guess it's just another thing I fail at.

Dont view it that way hun. Going in your medication is what's best for you and your child and that's l that matters. That does not mean you fail at anything. You breastfed to begin. How old is your LO?

She's only a month old.

You did what you could and that's all that matters. your LO got what's most important which is the colostrum.
