Is it possible to get very delayed PND?

[StrugglingWithEverything]

My little boy is 18 months and I feel overwhelmed with everything. I suppose its feelings I've had on a small scale but I suddenly feel like its all about to drown me.

I feel trapped by motherhood and work and that I can't keep up with everything I need to do and I'm not enjoying anything. I've returned to a new job which is 4 days a week and I think its more of a full-time job so I feel behind. I just want everything in my life to disappear and to lie in a dark room for several weeks.

My partner and I are having problems which doesn't help. We haven't had sex in ages and while he's a wonderful dad and co-parent and person I feel like he doesn't understand me emotionally.

I could also be peri-menopausal because I'm 42 and my mum had very early menopause.

I wouldn’t put it down as PND, but you do sound stressed/low, and peri wouldn’t be helping.
Would you go to the GP to tell them how you are feeling ?

That isn’t PND

I think if you think it might be the Peri. The first thing you need to do is see a GP and ask them to do a blood test to see if it is
