Message: <blockquote data-quote="ExtremelyW0rried" data-source="post: 1660620" data-attributes="member: 429908">I've sought help for depression / anxiety countless times since I had my daughter but the waiting list for any support is very long. They just prescribe antidepressants and I don't want to take any other medication on top of what I already take. I have an appointment with the dsn in February but I already know it will be futile. Consultant is April but it will be someone different again I expect so I'm not hugely optimistic. I have ordered a dexcom in the hope that I might be able to at least get some sleep since it should hopefully alarm if my blood sugar is going too high or too low. The libre is good but I still have to set my alarm throughout the night to check just to be on the safe side. I'm on my own a lot overnight with the children so it's just not a risk I'm willing to take, even though (touch wood) I've never had a problem before. Just got to hang on in there I suppose.</blockquote>
