Finally

Had my appointment with a psychiatrist today about my depression and bulimia returning whilst pregnant (bit annoyed I had to wait til I was 18wks gone, and that was only cos I badgered them to see me sooner, they were originally going to see me at 22 weeks!) and it was so emotional for me, I felt so guilty and ashamed just admitting it to someone. Never the less they've prescribed me sertraline which I was on pre-pregnancy so hopefully I'll start to feel better soon!

Jessica Ann I know what you mean, prozac is amazing ;) zarah thank you, although I don't feel brave! I broke down at my appointment because of how ashamed I feel, it's bad enough being depressed and having an eating disorder normally but at least it's my body im destroying, now im pregnant I feel worse cos my little baby doesn't deserve it :( I've also found it really hard to quit smoking, im currently on nicotine patches and on day 2 without a single puff, but after the day I've had im craving one so badly! But this is a new chapter now, I HAVE to be healthy for my baby! Jessica sweetheart I hope you get help soon, it's so hard to go through xx

I'm not pregnant anymore but I'm talking to my doctor today about going back on Prozac which I was taking before my pregnancy, I'm hoping he doesn't tell me something like "you just had a baby it's just your horomones" but honestly it's not. I know how I feel, it's the same way it was before pregnancy.
