I have been diagnosed with postnatal depression and i have organised to see a counsiler i feel like sometimes its getting worse but sometimes it feels like im fine. When i am around friends and family most of the time im normal. But when im alone i feel the worst. I feel bad for my children i feel like im not giving them enough but im with them 24/7. My dr offered me anti depresents but i refused to take them because i have heard there no good and make you worse is this true or should i take them??? I HATE FEELING LIKE THIS.

You should take them. This is a short term depression, brought on by an imbalance in your hormones and once they balance out, you can quit taking the meds.
The meds will really help.
I have been on anti depresents since 1995 and I’d die with out them
It takes work from me also but they keep that balance
sometimes we need help and they are not all bad the only one I didnot like was Paxill
you wont have to take it for ever just for a short time ………I have to because of what I have (bi-polar)
Dont be unhappy for the things people are telling you who are not Drs and no nothing about medication
People love to be MD’s but if it was them in your shoes on a bad day I wonder how they would feel
I went into the worst depression of my life after the birth of my second child. I waited much too long to go for help and I regret it. When I finally started taking antidepressants (Prozac), they worked like a charm for a while. Then I drank some alcohol and they stopped working for me. When I finally gave the alcohol up entirely, the antidepressants went back to work again. I just wish I didn’t wait so long to get help. Good luck.
