I'm Back

[suzie]

Well,I was on this nly a few weeks ago and thuings hav changed dramatically.Well I was emergency sectioned for 72 hours but thankfully released.They have now decided that anti depressants are the answer and that the ptsd is a secondary contributing factor to manic depression whch I wasnt aware f.In some ways this is a relief and I am actually receiving th professional help that I should of got when I asked for iT.

The moral of the story is :if at first you dont succed,keep on trying,


Many thanks for the advis on previous mails , it kept me concentrated when I needed it.:dimples:

Welcome back.

Knowledge can be very empowering - and help you have the support you need. PTSD can complicate all kinds of things, I know..

Yes,i am very happy and the news is that I am also going to bring new life into this world.I obviously have fears etc but I know that this is a good step forward.As regards college i still have not decided what to do,i know that my baby cannot be born anti d dependent so we will have to see how this goes.I thought i was going mad but now my life is falling into placeand yes im only 19 but sure if this is the road less travelled then i am going to try although i know a lot of people wont be happy.Thanks for everybodies responses and if any one knows the effects of anti d on a foetus could they let me know.

thank you

Thanks a million,I will go through those links in depth and my psychologist is an amazing guy so i will share my concerns with him once the easter period is over and the news sinks in properly.It has not hit yet what will happen in the future but i know once i tell my parents a particular something will hit the fan,but ill get over that .

Many thanks

Hey,i am doing fantastic.We're hoping to stay off anti d until after the baby comes as it has been discussed and researched in great detail.Thank you to everyone who has offered words of wisdom and congrats on keeping the site going.It is so beneficial even if I dont get on too often.
