I have been depressed for many years since my late teens but haven't felt willing to seek proper help, other than a small amount of counselling which was an awful experience. I instead coped by excessive exercise and waiting for the dark days to pass over.
I started to become depressed again in the last trimester of my pregnancy and it has gradually got worse in the 9 months since I had my son. I have hidden this from doctors/ HV's as im too ashamed to admit that i'm not ok.
My exercising is not working anymore and have begun binge eating and i'm so scared that I will become Bulimic again. I can't sleep. I'm so tired and I'm letting my baby down massively.
I do not have a good relationship with my doctor due to him misdiagnosing two (unrelated) problems. I feel that I can't trust him and i am being judged as a hypochondriac.
I have reached the end of what I can cope with but have no where to turn. Help me please.
