I Am Not OK

I’m taking a little break from this blogging caper and cutting back on time spent nattering on Twitter and Facebook.

You see I now know that much of it was a form of escape for me.

I have been struggling for a while. Quite a while.

Yesterday I went back to the doctor for the second time in a few months. I’d tried going off the pill to see if that helped my hormones and mood. It seemed to work for a little bit, but these past couple weeks I have seen someone in myself that is not me.

It scares the hell out of me.

Who would have thought that 18 months on it can still be called post-natal depression?

Everyone jokes at work about having a mental health day as a catch up day. My dilemma now is I really do need to take care of my mental health and am not sure what I tell my work….

If I feel compelled to blog I will, but these next few weeks are likely to be very sporadic.

I hope I am back to my happy, motivated and normal (if there is such a thing) self soon.
