Had a bit of a wobble today think I have been suffering with anxiety and post natel depression after a difficult birth and ptsd from a farming accident., finally had enough of feeling like this and in floods of tears I finally plucked up the courage to ring the doctors for help. 30 minutes on the phone waiting in queue to be told I have to ring at 8am everyday to try and get an appointment well that was the end of that. I was addiiment I didn't want to go on pills and I have tried everything from weight loss and exercise to try and drag myself out of it but lately nothing seems to be working. I do not have time to sit on the phone every morning to try and get an appointment.
And there was me thinking that our little corner of TFF was so quiet and everyone was enjoying plain sailing. I am pleased that you decided to post but of course I am disappointed that you were unable to gain acces to your doctor for support, advice, and treatment..
Being male and ignorant of most farming matters there isn't a lot that I understand about pregnancy and agricultural matters but I do know that fasting and dieting can agrivate depression and that sharing our deepest psychological thoughts with a trusted friend, or adviser, can be a great help.
I do think that you need to talk with an understanding lady; who can really empathise with your ongoing situation and your recent experiences. Post natal imbalances, bereavement, post traumatic stress, and lack of understanding from others can all weigh heavily upon us and please belive me the load 'can' be lightened.
