    anila big hugs

    i couldnt read and not post either xx

    i think that i had antenatal depression when i was pregnant. i was sent home from work twice for just crying uncontrollably which in turn sent my blood pressure sky high! my boss was so worried about me she wanted me to head over to the birthing unit to get checked first but i said i would go home and call my ob and have a chat with him. DH would often come home from work and find me crying too and was so worried about me getting postnatal depression. my ob knew that i was getting upset quite alot but never really mentioned anything else. i think he felt it was more due to every appointment that i had with him he would find something else wrong with me and just thought that with all the complications i was having who wouldnt get stressed and cry!
    i definately agree with talking to your midwife about seeing a social worker. i really hope things improve for you soon xxx

    hun your a wonderfull person.

    just recognising the signs is a great step your taking.
    maybe hubby needs to see the social worker as well, so he cant talk about his stressors and how eh is feeling so you can both eb united in this positive front..

    Im always here for you to hun dont forget..

    It is a tough situation to eb in, but try and look at where it will get you, hubby has a stable job again, so you are moving forward financially again and getting on top of it.
    your working towards getting your licence, your not ignorant towards the fact you need it. your doing something, it si a slow process getting your licence. give your self a break hun.
    and stop
    take a breath and look at what YOU ARE doing not what your NOT doing..

    so my chat with the well being clinic and the social worker didnt go to plan, i did see them and i was an emotional wreck and crying hysterically, but that was because my hospital is now refusing my care.

    oh no it's one thing after another!

    which one are they suggesting you travel to, the Mater??

    there must be someone higher up you can go to. in fact you might be better off contacting the new hospital and explaining you can't get there!
