I have three children and was hospitalised with 'PND' after the birth of each. Officially I had a diagnosis of bipolar but it didn't really fit. Fast forward eight years an...

That's a tough one, but I definitely don't think you should go just to please your friend. Personally I'd explain that I can't go, probably citing work as a reason (just because other people can handle both doesn't mean you can't use that as a reason). Then after explaining that I'd say that you'd r...

Hi, thanks everyone. I just reread my post and can't believe how many errors I made! I was a bit wobbly yesterday because of the diagnosis. Having it has made me realise that even a professional diagnosis can never be 100% conclusive, as I don' t necessarily feel any more certain that I did pre diag...
