is it possible


for a man to suffer from PND?
im really starting to think my OH is really suffering terribly from either depression or PND Things have been really tough on us both this whole year so far, its just been one thing after another. Going bankrupt having a baby,his dad having a stroke, his gran being diagnosed with parkinsons disease, us being evicted, him losing his job, starting a new job that he hates. My car being fucked (wheel baring being jammed on and OH hit the rear wheel arch with a hammer so now has a lovely big dent in it too)
He sold his car on ebay the other nite and pick up had 2 be made within 2 days of auction ending, a guy bought it now and said he was in edinburgh today (sunday) and would try get over to get the car if not it was going to be thursday. My OH has been trying to call the guy since last night and left a few messages but no reply now he thinks the guy has changed his mind and just not wanting to tell us. Whats worse is OH was bidding on another car and won but because we dont have the money from his car we cant get the one he has wone Everything is a mess were hardly speaking at all, all he does is cries. He phoned in work on thursday and told them he hurt his back and has been off since then, now hes been looking for a new job and says hes not going to work tomoz wich prob means he wont go back. We have booked a van for saturday for us moving but if he doesnt go to work this week we will haveno money at all to pay for it. I just cant get through to him

Hes spent most of the past 3 days in bed and keeps saying he wishes someone would shoot him.

I dont know what to do about him, im really stressed out and i guess i have had PND slightly but im trying my best to keep it together but just feel im fighting a losing battle.

Should i ring teh doctors tomoz if he doesnt go to work, he has only been in this new job 3 weeks
i just dont know what to do anymore

if anyone has any suggestions what i could do it would be very greatfull

sorry about my long rant got no where else to turn too

xxxx

Thanx for your reply hun

im going to ring teh docs first thing in the morning. He has just done a stress test on the NHS website and scored 21 and it said you must seek professional help ASAP as this is seriouse now.

Im scared i just want him to be ok. Hes just read outthe list of symptoms and things and i didnt even know half the stuff he was suffering from untill now

Just hope the doc can see him ASAP i just dont want it getting any worse although i ont think it can get any worse

he got on ok, the doctor gave him a 2 week sick line and he has to make an appointment with the new doctors when we move before he can return to work.

He didnt get any medication because the doctor said he should wait and see how he feels afterthe move ect..

He seems a wee bit more relaxed today but were still got loads of packing and stuff to do but hopefully he will be on the mend after everything settles back down
