Hi , I think I have had PND for 8 mths now and think its getting worse. I love my 3 kids, and have bonded no problems with my DD. My eldest (3yrs old) does my head in with the attitude and tantrums and I feel like I am failing as a mum and must be doing something wrong for him to be like this. I also have it in my head to leave my husband, who is an amazing father and kind handsome man, but as he has seem to forgot I am a person other than just a mum, I think I would be better off without him. As I type this, I cry, because I am sure I am not thinking right and things arent really as bad as they seem to me at the minute. Has anyone tried something else that has worked other than going to the doctors to be labelled as a depressive, and given drugs . I dont want it on my notes, I feel like a failure, I feel weak that I cant control this. I am normally a strong minded successful career person.But this being a full time mum who is resentful of her husbands career and crys at the drop of a hat, is just killing me. I am rambling now... sorry
