Hi babe, its really horrible when you are feeling down like this. After I had the boys I felt as though I had fallen into a really big hole. Every day the sides got deeper... eventually you cant see over the top. I did the antidepressants and I have to say they only masked what I felt, they didnt make the problem disappear. Its sounds like oscars should be handed out for the hiding your feelings!! I had the same problem, even now I find it really hard to show my feelings.

The way I tackled it was to make sure I had a set amount of time each week that was just for me. Not wife,mother, sister, daughter. me. I signed up for classes in basic computering. When I could afford it I had reflexology and aromatherapy. And the rest of the time I didnt set my goals too high. Each day I said Will do two things, did them and felt good. If you set yourself too many tasks, and you dont get them done you feel bad, like you have failed. I know I have never suffered the constant pain that you are in, and I am sorry that you have to go through that, really I am. Is there a cure? Im afraid I dont know much about your condition.

It will take time, tears and hard work, but from what I ve read in your posts you have a wonderful personality and will succeed and beat this.

Please feel free to pm me anytime, I m on most days around this time,ie 6-7ish  sometimes later. but I will always come back to you.
