I feel so stupid
Hi
I called a counsellor today. I feel so stupid and guilt cos i don't think my PND (or whatever else it is that's getting me down??) is all that bad. But, saying that, i keep feeling low, like i don't want to get up, like I'm not good enough for LO etc etc. My HV (they're all very nice) thinks it could be a good idea.
Has anyone else tried counselling and did it help?
I just keep crying at the mo and getting angry. I get quite anxious and worry a lot.
I don't know why I'm typing this really but I know you ladies will understand.
Thanks )

Sorry, I've no real advice but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and if you ever need a chat then send me an e-mail. I was recommended a website called moodgym which helps with bad thoughts, but only works if you keep going back over it. Might be worth a look though.
Take care of yourself- and I know you won't believe it but sounds like you're doing a fantastic job of being Matthew's mummy.

Thanks for your replies.
Libranaster - i have decided to try the counselling as i think i'm better one-to-one than in a group. We'll see how it goes.
Lea77 - hiya - I've written you a message on Toddler.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. Sorry to hear you had such an awful time with your 2nd baby. I had a traumatic time, but not as bad as that. That's why i feel a bit stupid and a fraud!
I don't think my PND was really bad, i think it's a bit of left-over PND and also some other stuff.
My counselling should start in a few weeks - hope it helps
Thanks again xx
My HVs were great right from the start too. I just hope that talking things through with a counsellor might make me able to 'get closure' on some stuff. I'll let you know how it goes.
Hopefully chat with you more on the Toddler forum too xx
