Please talk to me about PND

I think I have PND.
Is there anyone who could share their stories of how they sought help and what impact this had on their wellbeing etc.?
I am reluctant to go to my GP as I believe I am just being a waste of NHS time when people are dying of cancer etc.

I was reluctant to go to my GP as I felt like I was wasting her time.
In reality I didn’t like my baby at all and needed some serious help. I was hearing voices and seeing things that weren’t there, but I thought they were real.
But you know, I didn’t want to waste GP’s time. Defiantly talk to a GP x

I didn't go to the GP, as my (now divorced) husband told me the doctor would take dc off me for being "mental". I finally felt the fog lift somewhat around 9 months, I have little recollection of parenting before that and certainly no pleasure. I did end up on antids, I think I would have hated parenting forever if I hadn't; I would definitely have hated myself for longer.
Do get treatment, you deserve to enjoy your baby and it is not wasting anyone's time at all.
