Is this PND

[KRM321]

Hiya, I was wondering if I could get some advise. I had my baby over 10 months ago now and I can't seem to shake this strange feeling off. I've never really been an emotion person but I seem to cry all the time and I just don't feel like myself. I feel like everything I do takes a huge effort and I just can't seem to get a grip on life at the moment. At 1st I did put it down to hormones but now I'm not to sure. My husband seems to think that I'm like this because I'm not working at the moment and that I'll be fine soon. I just don't really know what to do.

Are you looking after yourself? Are you getting enough sleep?
I think you should go and talk to your GP.

My daughter is sleeping at night but I find t takes me ages to fall asleep no matter how tired I am. I feel guilty when I moan because I know I'm so lucky to have a sleeper lol. Might go talk to my GP just really scared of being put on pills

I had PND twice and no one ever suggested pills. I had CBT both times - first time was a lifesaver. Its so hard but it does get better . good luck

That is brilliant news I will defo go see the GP. Thank you so much I really appreciate it x

KRM I also agree with you going to your GP. My DS is a similar age and in the last couple of months I've been similar with being ready and at other times short-tempered. My GP suggested anti-anxiety medication and ADs which I hope will help

Best of luck and look after yourself

Thinking of you. I was on pills for PNDand the many were brilliant and worked quite quickly. I was desperate to just get back to normal so I could enjoy my baby. I just wanted to say this because it may be suggested by GP and you may not want to rule them out.
