dark feelings snuck up on me

I have just burst into tears because N wanted yet another feed... stupid really... crying over a bloody feed..... I am sitting here surrounded by a huge muddle, the kids are stuck inside cos its been raining and I am loosing the plot in my head...

N is 18 months this week, so its 19 months since I stopped taking my meds (bar 2 weeks last year) but today I am wondering if I should go back on them, my mood is quite low, I am tired for no reason, and cant get out of my own way....


me thinks I better talk to Ben and look at going to see my GP and get sorted. I hate feeling like this, and I know that it will just get worse if I dont sort it out now.

love D

sorry to hear you've got tough times again. have you thought about or tried other options for depression? I have read that some types of meditation / mindfulness training can be very good and also emotional therapy (as opposed to straight forward therapy)

Lots of potentially useful information here: http://www.mbct.com/

I think there are practitioners in NZ also

I am ok with taking the medication, I am skating regularly which helps a bit with the mood, I will look at that site though and see if I can find anything in that too, I have to keep eating well too as I dont want to undo all the work I have been doing there,

Some of it is seasonal, so I might get my light box out and try some light therapy in the mornings to help with the serotion uptake too..

sounds good!

not knocking the meds, just that MBCT and the like are tools to *empower yourself* :-)

thanks, I try most things lol so as not to end up feeling like this, its been a while, and the quick onset of gross weather definitely hasnt helped either. I have done well being med free for 18 months, its the longest since I turned 17, so cant complain at that. Will look at the site after I go skating
