Hello, I am new to this so Im not sure if I have posted in the right bit!
Im hoping someone can give me some advice or just some support.
I am 19 years old and have a 10 month old baby.
It started a few months back, i was feeling very light headed all the time, and tired and achey, sort of like i was constantly coming down with flu. I went to the docs who did blood tests for hypothyroidism and anemia but both tests came back normal. I then began feeling quite unwell alot of the time, where it was a struggle to get out of bed, so i went back to the doctors and he said he it may be post natal depression or anxiety and gave me a website to look at. I then had a Panic attack, which was quite severe. Basically to cut a long, boring story short, here i am today, tried sertraline but side effects were too much so stopped taking it and couldn't bring myself to go to the therapist. I haven't left my house now in 2 weeks and if i do the only place i seem to be able to go is my mums house. I am in a relationship although we are going through a very hard time at the moment and its been a very complicated relationship. i feel exhausted by the end of the day. I get very emotional about all of this because before this I was the most outgoing, confident and bubbly person you'd meet! Now im afraid to leave my house :weep: i just feel like this is it for me now, and im not going to be able to do anything in my life for my or my son. Sorry I have written so much, I could write so much more but dont want to drag on!
