DD2 is 15 weeks. I scored 9 on EDPS at 6 week check and at 13 week check was still scoring 9. Discussed how I was feeling with HV and she said she would call me in a month to see how I was.
However the past week I have been feeling markedly worse. I've went from irritable and aggressive with high demands on myself to despair, crying, anxiety, guilt and the feeling I am doing nothing right. I haven't washed in 2 days. I'm not playing enough with my baby as I have no energy and so I'm worried that she's not developing properly. I have headaches and stomach pains. I had panic attacks when I was out with my parents and the kids at the weekend (whilst in the toilet - they know nothing of how I'm feeling). I feel very isolated as H works away and I have no family near, friends live far away and I couldn't confude in them anyway. It's all a mess. I don't actually know what I'm hoping to achieve by posting I'm just fed up of feeling like this and wanting to scream to people to help me but I don't even know how to help myself. I can't even face going to the GP.
