Really not feeling well
Ended up falling asleep on the sofa when I should have been making dinner, so got convinced to order Dominoes instead :-/
Can't stop crying, full of cold and exhausted
Really hoping my iron tablets will kick in soon as I'd love some sleep!

Oh no Hun. That's awful. I wonder whether you're particularly low now you're on your period. Do you take the iron tablets with orange juice? Isn't that meant to help the absorption or have I got confused? Hugs xx

Thanks for the hugs xx
Yes and my periods have been really heavy since Oliver, which is another reason y I've got iron deficiency anemia....
Plus HV is still convinced I've got PND too and I'm starting to wonder if she's right.... I have got a history of depression and anxiety...
Yes but I can't stand orange juice so I got told to take with a fruit juice, as long as it's high in fruit content...
I hate monthlies... I want to eat all the chocolate in the world...

Mine have too. They've become more painful too. Just started today so will also be diving for the chocolates with you.
Is it worth seeing if you can speak to your dr about PND. It may be that you haven't but may be some help. It may be that your iron levels are so low that they are totaly wiping you up. Either way good to get treated.

Thanks again for the hugs, I need them today... Little man puts his arms around me now and that made me cry this morning...
I'm a total hormonal mess... And that's how I feel, like I want to dive head first into a huge box of chocolates and not come out until they are all gone!!
Yep I've made an appointment for this afternoon, I think I need therapy... I had it before (I really don't want medication) and it really helped and I feel now, like I just need someone to talk to who isn't a friend or relative...
And yep my iron levels are very low and I always feel wiped!
My doc said the normal iron level is between 25-300 and mine? 10!!!!

Some cognitive therapy is valuable. Definitely highly rate it. Hope you can get it soon Hun and you feel more yourself. Well done for recognising some signs and getting help. Proud of you x

Trust me I have felt like that a lot this year. It's equally tough and amazing at the same time. A lot is sleep deprivation and hormones all over the place. I wouldn't change my little man at all. He is the best thing that's happened to me, but it's tough. Even today I've had a cry. Xx

I missed my docs appointment yesterday- I fell asleep oops!
Felt better for it (both me and Oliver slept for 2 hours!) and then I've woken up this morning, constantly sneezing and I've almost lost my voice... Lovely!
Can't taste food, so I've not eaten a lot at all... I did stick to plan yesterday tho so I'm happy about that, and today so far so good...
