Postpartum or Sleep Deprivation

[MamatoAA]

It’s been 8 weeks since we welcomed DS.
I can’t shake the hopelessness and dreading each day. I feel terrible as I have feelings of regret having another baby and can’t enjoy being a mum to my DD who is 3.

On the verge of tears, feeling hopeless, angry and confused.
My DS doesn’t sleep unless he’s being held so I’m not able to get any rest. Husband helps as much as he can but baby won’t settle with him and just cries.
I’m scared of how I’m feeling but equally scared to be diagnosed with PPD and having to take medications.

Hi there, honestly, there is nothing to fear in being diagnosed / given medication if you do have depression, but an awful lot to gain. If it was your best friend who was experiencing what you are, I'm sure you would offer her kindness and suggest she sought help. So be kind to yourself.
It isn't right to feel this way, and you won't always feel this way, take the first step and speak to your GP or health visitor x
