Hello ladies
I'm looking for some advice. I had my son 5 months ago, extremely difficult labour which has left me in acute pain due to SPD postpartum. I am in constant pain and sometimes can't even manage the stairs. As time goes on I have been feeling increasingly low. I am often extremely teary and on the verge of tears. I get flashbacks/nightmares about my sons delivery. Because of the pain I'm in I feel guilty that I can't do all the things with my son I want to (can't carry him for long without pain being too much) and this makes me feel very low.
I have battled with depression when I was younger and I'm concerned I'm slipping. Friends have commented that I seem low or not myself. My DH is understanding but I haven't spoken to him about how I'm feeling.
I would really appreciate some opinions or advice. I know this probably seems trivial in comparison to what some women go through, but I'm exhausted with feeling like I'm about to sink.
Sorry this was long, thank you for reading this!
