Hello
6 years ago I wrote here about how I was newly diagnosed with PND as a dad.
I was ripped to pieces by mums. It was a really new thing to be diagnosed as a dad and I wasn't welcomed as I thought I might be. I was an imposter. a fake.
It really set me back. it pushed me into a dark place and I no longer wanted to reach out to support forums and groups. I stopped using mumsnet shortly afterwards and this is the first time I have been on in a long while.
I looking for honesty here please. Has the lay of the land changed? Are we more open now to dads having PND? are we more accepting?
I am not looking for a fight I am genuinely interested to see if over the course of 6 years that views have changed. Mens Mental health needs have become much more prominent over the last few years and I have found help and am doing much better. I.am now interested in how things can change (or not change) over time.
thank you.
