Just tell yourself it will pass, which it will; don't alter medication without GP supervision. I think this time of year is difficult and having PND for sure won't make it any better! Look after yourself and the babe, let DH take care of himself, as long he's capable. Telling yourself to 'man the f... up' won't help your state of mind so be kind to yourself. We all expect too much of ourselves.

I've been eating crap too - just ate whole bag of Cadbury's mini eggs. Bet there's a lot of crap being eaten this weekend though! You can eat crap and then have a go at undoing the 'damage' by eating better during the week.

It's Easter weekend. I often find depressive episodes coincide with so-called celebratory dates, Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, etc.

Something to do with a sense of belonging and not belonging. Things not being as they should be.
