I'm sorry to hear that, you must feel very isolated. Have you been able to tell anyone how you are feeling? Your health visitor or even your previous midwife will be able to get you some help

I have told the health visitor and the GP , told family not long ago and they have all gathered round to help but I feel like a burden on them and a failure to my baby . My head is a complete mess everyday I'm doubting my self and crying daily x

That's what this illness does to your thinking, it doesn't mean it's real

Yes you are right , it feels very real the fear and the loneliness is scary , I hope one day I feel better I don't want to be like this forever it's heartbreaking

Hey love, I'm so sorry to hear this 😢 I had PND too I know how awful it is. Please feel free to message me. I had it 3x but only sought out help the last time via my health visitor and that really did help, so I really hope it helps you ♥️.

How are you doing tonight? Is it up and down or all down? I absolutely promise that things get easier and that EVERYONE finds parenting tough especially first baby. Sending hugs.
