I have a beautiful 8-month old girl. She is a precious, much-wanted baby. But I am a mess and I can't talk to anyone about it. I've been waking up at around 3/4am for ages now, negative feelings going round and round in my head, unable to go to sleep and eventually just coming downstairs and crying. I have been depressed before but with an amazing GP and ADs I got it under control and had started to live again. Then me and my partner got back together, got married and had our dd, and now the tears and anger and frustration are all coming back. I don't know what to do. I can't talk to any of my friends, I don't want to upset my parents because they were so worried last time, and my dh tries but can't really understand the emotions involved as he doesn't do emotion. I feel desperate. I don't want my dd to grow up with a depressed mother, and I miss the fun, lively, optimistic and energetic person I used to be. I feel completely alone with this, can't tell a soul.
