PND 7 months post partum?

[Blueblueblueb]

For the last few months I have struggled with feeling down and really irritated/angry especially with my children. My baby never seems happy to see me and it kind of feels like I’m not really his mum. I am back to work now which I thought would help but I just come home and I don’t want to be around my children. I have done an NHS quiz and I don’t know that I actually have depression but I don’t know what else it could be. Everything just feels a bit shit.

Hi there. So sorry you are feeling this way. I had pnd, that came on 7-8 months post partum. I was under the care of the perinatal psychiatrist. Pnd can be triggered by hormone fluctuations that go up and down massively after you have a baby. Mine seemed to coincide with my period coming back. If you think it could be pnd, please go see your gp. I have just weaned myself off sertraline which saved my life.
