Hi Ann,
I am sorry to hear you are struggling so badly. Have you looked into a natural route since you can’t tolerate meds? If you are interested try seeking out a naturopath or a homeopath and see if they can help you along with the CBTif you have a whole foods or other health food store similar to that you can go into their healthy living department and ask if they have and referals for a homeopath, or a naturopath.

I wish I could go to the Twitter chats! I first told my husband about my thoughts about 3 months postpartum (I had had them since coming home from the hospital.) Even when my baby was in the NICU I had them. I thought it was just my hormones, but it kept happening. Months later and after trying several drugs, I am now off all antidepressants and in CBT. Its so scary but I have no other choice since I cannot tolerate the medications. Thank you so much for speaking out. You have encouraged me so much.
