I have 2 young children, 3 and 1yo. I've been steadily getting (i think) depressed and anxious since the birth of my second, and also lose my temper with them easily. Particularly when the baby is crying/not sleeping well, which is often.
I haven't had any major meltdowns but am struggling on a daily basis (although not all day long). This morning I woke up and had to force myself out of bed.
I'm going to see my gp as I do t want to get any worse, but i guess I'm just wondering what they will actually do? Is there some sort of questionnaire to determine whether you have depression? Or is it up to me to self diagnose? Haven't experienced this before, I struggled with anxiety in my 20s due to a stressful job but coped without medical help.
Thanks everyone.
