Depression returning, frightened

I had pre-natal depression and was on fluoxetine, the end if the pregnancy was fine and I have a beautiful DS now 9 months old and a DS1 who is 4 next week. I came off the AD's in August as I felt great and had no problems after DS1. I've had some minor worries in the last few weeks which all came to a head this week. They are now resolved but I feel like the big black cloud has descended again. I'm crying all the time, I feel sick and I'm withdrawing from leaving my little comfort zone of the house. My DH has taken a couple of days holiday but I still can't relax as I'm worrying about Monday and being left in charge again of the boys. I have contacted the community mental health team but had no return call yet. I'm just looking for some reassurance I suppose...is this PND, a wobble or what? This has literally hit me like a brick wall in the space about 4 days...

Could be PND. If no response from the community mental health, then go to your GP. They can also help.

Thanks. I've seen the doc and my local CPN. I'm back on fluoxetine and now going through the rubbish side effects. Got some support in place now though so once the meds settle down and I get some sleep I should start to feel a bit better. Thanks for taking the time to post x
