I had PND post DD1, took prozac for 9ish months, paid for a few counselling sessions. Took myself of the meds and felt much better etc etc.
DD2 was born a 13 months ago. No PND this time, everything was ok until a few months ago.
I feel very angry a lot of the time. I'm irritable and have lost my ability to be patient. I can't be bothered to play with DD, I just want to be left alone.
My good days are getting fewer and far between and I have felt consistently down and tired for a couple of weeks now, with no good days in between.
I'm a sahm and am frankly bored and lonely.
Really reluctant to go back on ADs. I've started taking st john's wort but not noticing any improvement yet. Beginning to think that for DDs sake I am going to have to go to the GP.
I need something to change but I just don't know what. I feel totally stuck.
Don;t know what I'm asking really, but any advice re ADs/snapping out of it would be much appreciated.
P.S would this even be classed as PND as DD2 is 13 months?

Can I pull myself out of this without meds?
