Starting to freak out!!

Thanks

I think that if they ask about my family i will talk, i probably won't go into great detail until i am more comfortable. I'd just love to understand why DP acts the way he does. Some days he is great we get along fine and others hes just so withdrawn he wont talk to me and if he does hes really sarcastic and mean. I'm really determined to make it work our DD deserves both her parents to get along.

I always went in with the attitude that they can only help me if I am open and honest about whats going on. If there is an issue with the way I am thinking, then I will have the opportunity to learn a new way. Or my partner will hear how it really is and the psychologist can help him understand better.

it can be very scary and nerve racking wondering if we're doing something wrong. But it's never all one person who has issues dealing with something or understanding the other. It will be mutually beneficial and if the person helping you judges or blames, then they are the wrong person. They are there to help, not condemn.

Good luck for the session!

Thank you

My counselling for my PND is important because i need for my DP to understand what it is i went through and what i am still going through. He gets frustrated some days because he thinks that i am putting it on or there are days where i wont talk to him at all and will sleep all day and just keep to myself. he then thinks hes done something wrong.

I think i will walk in and be as open and honest as i can be about our relationship going back to when we first met. But i think i will just see how i feel about talking about my family.

I had my first session with a lady from a Post Natal Depression Support Group today.

At first she was really weird and just saying yeah and umm alot but then the more we kept talking she was better. Shes referred me to see my GP about getting a Mental Health Plan and speaking to a Psychologist after she did the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale and i scored 15 out of 30 and they recommend that i speak to someone if i score higher than 13. She said i am more towards anxiety issues than depression but thats going by that test.

She did compliment me on how well i have brought up DD, she said that when i opened the door and greeted her i smiled and then DD smiled. She said that i have taught her how to interact with others and that DD goes off me. That almost made me cry as i dont feel like a very good mother. But she said it was good that DD wanted to be with me and was comfortable to just sit on my lap while i talked.

I will speak to her on the 4th when i have my relationships counselling session (that was meant to be yesterday but they cancelled) and see how i am doing.

So tomorrow i am off to the doctors and getting that health plan. Feeling pretty good about everything.

Great news! Just take it one session at a time and it will all start falling into place - you're doing great
