I have been feeling like I have been going down hill for some weeks now, I have been doing my best to keep my head above water but now I think my depression is back.
Feeling incredibly low, my husband recently left me and now he has admitted it has been my past depressive episodes that have driven him away.
I am functioning pretty well, but I think it's because I have two young DC, 5 and 2, I am just carrying on.
But after they are in bed, I am really struggling.
I am incredibly lonely and that's when I start to think too much.
I am reading up on CBT to try and learn some coping strategies. I thought I was just down because my DH had left, but I think that has triggered my depression again.
I suffered dreadful PND after my two year old was born, to the point I was suicidal. I didn't actually realise it at the time, I actually thought it was normal.
my DS is an incredibly difficult child, he just cries and screams a lot of the time so I am exhausted by the end of the day.
I just feel like I am existing at the moment and not living any kind of life.
I miss my DH so much, but he himself is now depressed and says he can't deal with my problems too, so I feel very alone.
I don't know really, I just need some tips on online help I can get, kind of self help until I see my GP which at the moment is a three week wait.
