Hi ya! i no im young but i have suffered with depression for quite a while now, and alongside that anxiety.I used to go to bed and started getting breathless and the feeling of panick n struggling to breath, sum times i would wake up in a sweat struggling for my breath. I went a week or 2 copin with this hoping it would stop but in the end i got soo scared so i went to the drs n they told me i was suffering from mild panick attacks.which was a side effect from the medication i was taking n that it may stop or continue but i could change my medication if i wanted to. I thought about it but the medication i was on suited me n id been on it for so long before i started having these attacks. Anyways 2weeks later i found out i was pregnant n was made to come straight off all my medication with no weaning me off them at all. That was really hard i began getting more anxious but the panick attacks faded away. Im now copin alot beta with my anxiety n depression but its flippin' hard on sum days.

Hey everyone, when i started this post, i knew I had anxiety however it turned out i had pnd, it wasnt picked up until she was 6 months! I went on anti depressants, my panic eventually went, i have been off them 2 weeks, so i was only on tablets for 3 months, a month of that was weening myself off! I feel more or less backj to normal now, i have my odd evening when im so tired but nothing like before. I have started a new part time job i love and everything is fitting in place
Thank you for all your help and advice. Victoria

Glad everything is getting back to normal for you

This is your good act to have the doctor advice. as pnd is not something to just ignore. Taking proper medication would surely affect you to the state of normal life.

hi ....i had my little girl 4 weeks ago on saturday and i cnt seem to trust anyone wit her apart from my mum and dad....me and my partner havebeen arguin because his mam and dad want to spend time with her which i no is normal as they her grandparents but i cant seem to bring myself to allow it without me being there. some of the things im sayin dont even make sense to me. i thought i was being daft and stupid and if i told anyone they would think i was being ridiculous but i eventually broke down and my partner and my mum finally got it out of me. i told hv and she made me app wit the doc who said its a form of postnatal anxeity and depression. i hate feelin like this tho i want her to have everyone in her life but i cant trust them. anyone got any ideas that will help or make me feel better the doctor gave me anti anxeity tablets but they make me feel horrible and worse.
