Hiya
It's taken me a while to write this but I'm unsure what to do.
I have a 2 year old and now 6 week old. I'm really struggling. I find myself really stressed and down majority of the time. My 6 week old won't sleep in the day unless I am bouncing or rocking constantly so I don't get a break to do anything if I leave her she cries, I've tried a bouncer, a swing, a sling everything I just feel like I don't want to do this anymore I wake up and dread the day I just want to fastfoward a year

Can you have a chat with your health visitor or GP? I’m sorry you’re having a tough time Flowers

Op do you have any support, such as a partner or a relative who can step in and give you a break? I also think you should have a chat with your gp, its so tough being a mum, but there are things that can help, if you can take the first step and talk to someone. I had pnd with both my babies, and for me sertraline helped enormously. But so did talking about it with the hv.
