Hi. I had my ds 5 years ago and suffered from Pnd which got diagnosed when he was < 1 yr. It was a really difficult time and I ended on AD until DS was 2 and a half. My dh was very supportive but my mum and close family were absoloutely not. It was a case of, what have u you to be depressed about! I did see a psychologist during my Pnd And the major conclusion that we came to is, I had been critisised so much as a child and growing up that I was putting huge amounts of pressure on myself to be a perfect mum.( my parents have critisised me constantly and still do) I have fully recovered but find myself now reflecting on the difficult years with guilt. I am a newbie to mumsnet and just wondered how other mums have been.
