Hello all,
I struggled very badly with pnd after my baby was born and didn’t bond with him for a good six months. Since then I’ve been insecure about our bond and always worrying about my feelings for him.
I recently started a new job, part time, which I thought would help me mentally, to give me more of a routine.
However I’m really struggling at the moment, and old feelings and worries about bonding with my baby are coming back. I’m scared that he doesn’t need me; that I ruined our early bonding time. And I also feel disconnected to him now that I’m seeing him less. Has anyone been in a similar position and can anyone give me any advice? I don’t want (and can’t afford) to give up work but I’m scared of undoing all the hard work I’ve done to get over pnd.
