Have you been feeling like this for a while?

They won't tell you to take a break from your son. Your his mum and he needs you, and conversely, you need him. You just need a bit of help.

What's going on with your partner?

yeh, i think it been gettin worse, i didnt notice at first, just thought i was having off days. When i got down about my appearence i thought it was normal, i dont think it is. And feeling the way i do about baby it feels like iv just popped and i dont want it. Like iv changed my mind dont want to be a mum.

My partner just isnt the supporive type. He isnt interested in my troubles. I cant talk to him about anything, and i cant give my son to him. I feel like im a single mum, and the only thing different to me and your average single mum is that i live with a man

It can be really hard looking after a new baby.

When they told you you had post natal depression, did they give you any treatment for it? It's quite common I think to take anti depressants for a while, and then think "oooh I feel ok now" and then stop taking them, only to realise thta you feel bad again.

Yes i was given anti depressants. It makes sense what your saying, i did feel ok, and i answered questions they asked and they said i was fine so took me off them. I think you could be right, i just dont want the doctor to ignore me.

Oooh she/he really shouldn't ignore you. Just what you put on the other thread sounds a perfect way to start off talking to your gp.

I am soooo not an expert on these things, and this time of night can be quiet on MN, so I hope someone wiser will be along soon!

Do keep posting about how things are going. I find writing things down often helps.

Does your partner try at all? Have you got anyone else around?
