PND Support Thread

Well... My appointment is monday. Hopefully I'll get the help I need so that I can get through this!

Sometimes I find I get really frustrated on here when people keep saying "it's easy"... must be nice not struggling with pnd..

Nataliecn hope evrything goes well for you with your appointment hun

How did it go natalie?

I had my first cbt session - it was really good but bought a few things up that I don't know what to do with now and don't have another session for a couple of weeks!

Hope everyone else is ok

elm. Do you want to talk about it? I might be able to help before your next session, having had lots of CBT myself.

Hey I got diagnosed with severe PND after I had baby, and been put on anti ds and see gp fortnightly to talk about it and review my medication, but lately I feel like I'm getting worse and worse with everything I've got going on!
I've split up with my ex (we were friends for years but in my 3rd trimester he took me on with baby and has treated baby as his own he's been great)
My ex (babys 'father') is taking me to court and ringing me threatening me and my baby
My mum keeps falling out with me over stupid things! Like me saying I don't love my ex when I do..Or me sitting crying because I feel depressed..Or not wanting to tidy up because I just feel energyless and dead.
And all I want to do all the time is sit and cry and I know it's not good for me or LO and I try not to let him see me but it's so hard!
I went to baby massage today and just burst into tears as soon as I set him down on the floor!
And I don't have any friends or anyone around me I can even talk to about it.
I don't know what's the matter with me! I've had my medication increased but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, and my ex is just making everything 100000x worse!

Sorry to go on abit I just feel so down I dunno who to talk to x

Sounds like you're going through so much at the moment and all that's on top of having a new demanding baby We're all here for you to talk to x You could also ask your dr about some counselling if you think it might help for you, then you'd have someone to talk to who would be able to guide you through this period of your life and help you sort out some strategies to deal with things.

Thanks Shifter - it's just things like remembering stuff that happened in childhood (not hugely traumatic or anything, just stuff I'd forgotten about). I'm not thinking about it as much as yesterday, will probably have forgotten all about it again soon!!!
