Hi
I had my little boy 2 1/2 years ago in February 2003. After I had him I felt extremely low and this got progressivley worse. Only when I moved homes 9 months later and got a new health visitor I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression. I decided to take Prozac and found that this really helped. I eventually come of this in July 2004.
I was fine for a little while but soon began to feel depressed, again it got worse and worse so I decided to go back onto prozac for another six months. Again I felt really well and able to cope.
I am now feeling really low again. I keep crying, find it hard to deal with everyday things and feel like I have lost the will to live. I feel like I am trapped in a dark hole with a big black cloud over me, and I really dont know what to do. No body seems to be able to help me. I feel so alone. It is as though everybody has heard it before, almost like I am crying wolf.
I wondered if anyone out there has experienced the same thing as me and how they overcome their depression. Also how long did peoples depression last. I know everyone is different but I am really interested in how others coped.
