Tried to post this in advice, but it's got lost like me.
Been suffering with PPD for a while and sure it started in pregnancy due to stress of work bullies. Thinks got worse when I went back to work.
Can't handle the mail coming or the phone ringing, mainly coz the mail was the last straw in breaking me. Sure I can hear the phone ring and this is adding to the torment.
Have also been bothered byemail while I have been off work, which has added to my stress.
Is this normal to feel some sort of post traumatic stress after losing it?
Doc has upped my AD's and waiting to see if that helps.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
Dearest - read your profile. I know how you felt about not getting out of the house, I feel like that now. Glad you are doing better.
I have mine set so I don't have time to get to a phone... I only answer it if I'm at my desk when it rings, if I feel like answering it.
I usually don't open mail either... but I've learned to sort unopened mail into baskets so all the bills go into the bill basket, otherwise I end up in a big mess.
