it started to years ago

Well i have read a few of the other journals in here and thought i would give it a go. I'm not sure where to start so i'm just going to sound it out for me and see if it helps me by writing it down.

Here i am 26weeks pregnant with our little suprise present and this feeling of dread just came over me, the pregnacy was turning out like my first baby oh no not another difficult baby how am i going to cope, went to gp to get help he just fobe me off in a not helpful manner, this set me back more. Thnak god i had a good midwife who refered me to mental health just like i predicted i went into labour two weeks early and from birth i new it was going to be bad i looked at my baby and felt nothing. Well this is where my world came crashing down i was admitted to hospital when baby was 7weeks old and have just found out that i had gone into phycosis and PND i struggled throught the next year with more hospital stays and my mind was a bluer, i don't even remember my sons mildstones which make me very sad last baby and all not being able to enjoy or even remember important things. Then 11/2 years later it all goes pear shape throught the last two years have tried lots of different meds was admitted again in may 09 and this is where i got the hardest thing i'm trying to work through and that is the diagnoses of Bipolar 2 my world was turned upside down, it is causing huge barriers in my marrage while we come to terms with a women who handled and took care of everything to a women who lost controll became suicidal and a screaming witch to her children ( and hating it) how is someone ment to work through this struggling with taking meds or not i have a medical condition as well so with all the mental health drugs i take alot and don't like the thought of all the differernt interactions that they cause and having to take more drugs to counteract the other drugs. So what am i ment to do feeling like crap again been off medz a week and 1/2 and don't want to go on them again. wow that sounds oh i don't know to actually say it all out loud it looks so different than i thought it would.

You go girl! I think its helping me to write down things here too. I totally understand about the screaming witch thing. I think thats where I finally admitted I needed to do something. I didnt want to be screaming at my 2 year old and feeling guilty for it. It got to the point where I could see him visibly flinch when I screamed at him and that was a turning point. Anyway i should probably write this in my own blardy journal! Be strong

Well that time has come around today i held a party for my baby who turns two on monday. I was so pleased i'm still around to see it, it has been touch and go for me for awhile. The weather was good the rain held out, it was great to see everyone and i'm sure my baby had a good time.

Feeling a little emotional with thinking about how much i have missed of my baby's life so that is hard i don't even really remember his first birthday but hay lets hope the second was good for him.

well today my baby turn two for me i feel sort of all over the place i'm so glad he is two and no more babies just little boyz then i feel mixed because i feel i have missed so much i feel angry at my self for missing so much. HE HAD A GOOD DAY AND SHOWED HE WAS in training for his terrible twos so we will have fun with the next year. Oh so relax did most of xmas shopping and birthday shopping (January) so that is great.

I just need my space to have a little rant to myself so please excuse me.

Today after asking since last wednesday for a script for mkeds my keyworker finally rang to say it was there well to b----dy late i've come off them now could of used them last week. She also rang to say that my DR has to change my appointment from this Friday until next Thursday i feel i really needed one sooner rather than later, this sends my little definate side up and i thnk screw the lot of them i don't need them i've sat here all day on the couch crying what for nothing i have enough again but what is the point in talking to the Dr or key worker they only have 1hour for you every 5 weeks this is my complusory visit under section 76 of the mental healt act but what is the point if they are to busy, Sorry just feeling a little p*****, at them and myself.
thanks for listening.

And I can understand why you are pissed off!

I would be too!!!

Hi Mumtothree ..... I'm just pleased you've joined us ... hope it's really helpful.

Hi MT3,

Glad your baby had a fantastic birthday. They just grow up so fast huh? Hope the weekend wasnt too stressful for you with all the rellies, its a lot of pressure.

Are you still off yours meds? I cant believe caseworkers etc would be so slack in sorting things out for you especially after everything you have gone thru over the last few months. Shocking care.

Hope all is ticking along ok at the moment, take it slow and take care xx

wow just been on chat board and it got me really thinking I'm at a similar place to mylife feeling the preasure of life again. I'm not sure what to do about my marriage as i don't feel i have an unsupportive hubby i'm yelling and feeling agiatated towards my kidz and i don't want to i feel that i have no control over it and as this goes through my head i feel a failure about everything, i'm feeling fat etc so feeling a little down never mind i supose life goes on.

Just come on to have a little maon to myself so excuse me.
Well feel the pits again I asked hubby and clearly laid out what i ment for emotional support so he understood what i ment but hay after 18 years i guess i'm never going to come first in his life, one of the things i asked was if i had had a bad night if he could get up and just give me a little more time in bed take the kidz give them breakfast well last night was the last straw he kept me awake most of the night snoring so when the kidz bounced on my head at 6 ready to start the day i clearly turned to him and said i've only had 2 1/2 hour sleep so what did he do rolled over and went back to sleep i'm so angry i feel well the last 18 years have been a waste of time as he truely only does think of himself and boy i feel stupid everyone tried to say but no i loved him and carried the load for all this time and when i need him if he does not come first them no one does sorry to upset going to finish dinner may come back later when i have stopped crying.

i'M BACK well i'm still not feeling any better i feel so low it's hard to know what to do i feeling such a failure and noyhinh seems to help.
I went to my dr today and she said she would not take me off the act but she would agree to support me with taking medz and see how that goes for the next month and if that does not help then she said she would look at ect for me but i'm not sure anymore i just feel so black and low

Hi MT3,
Hows your wknd been?
I hear ya bout the sleeping thing. If my patner is tired then he just gets into bed and goes to sleep even if its 6.30pm and I need help to get kids in pyjamas and bed. Then if I need him to get up to one of them in the night, boy do I hear all about he goes to work so he needs a decent sleep. Sigh.

Are the kids still going to daycare to give you a break? All the best, thinking of you...
