I don’t really know where to start My little girl is 6 months old I also have a little boy age 4. I had a very traumatic pregnancy and birth with my first I did suffer from baby blues after having him but was fine after a couple of weeks, this time round my pregnancy and birth were much better , however I began to feel really low when she was around six weeks old since then on and off I’ve been feeling so terrible , there are good days and bad , I adore my children I feel they are the only reason I get out of bed in the morning , other than that I probably wouldn’t , I feel angry and I get irritated at the slightest things , then I feel sad and worthless and cry and a few days later I might be fine and happy and then revert back to the same bad feelings the next . Also some days I feel like I hate my husband , I really love him but I hate him I don’t want him near me I don’t find him funny I find him even talking irritating a lot of the time then other times the opposite , I’ve tried to talk to him but he doesn’t understand and thinks I’m just complaining I don’t really know what to do how to think or feel any advice would be appreciated and Thankyou for reading xx

I think it is a good idea to speak with your gp and explain how you are feeling. They may be able to offer you some kind of talking therapy or perhaps you could do a few sessions privately if you can afford to. Some times all we need is to talk and feel understood to help us work through our feelings. Otherwise you could try womens aid helpline . Please speak to someone there is support available to give you strength for yourself and your family xx
