Is this the right place for Post Natal depression help?

[Ladyopheliastar]

I am feeling very scared. Have 5 week old baby. Feel overwhelmed.

Hello :)
Have you spoken to your hv? do you have some support from your partner or family.
Everyone feels overwhelmed at 5 weeks, but when you say scared, do you mean you are frightened of something you might do?

Hello there
This should be the right place, just make sure you speak to your midwife/health visitor and/or GP about how you feel, if you haven't done so already.
You know there are huge numbers of mums with similar problems and there is a LOT of help available for you so hang in there!

you will find lots of people on here who have or had PND and other people like me who've had other fish to fry but understand a little.

What are you scared of? What are you finding particularly scary or difficult?

Are you OK Lady?

Totally the right place.

Have you spoken to a HV, GP, midwife or even your OH about how youare feeling? Everyone needs support with a 5wo baby. Especially if you are getting depressed

Bst to get it sorted sooner rther than later - the sooner, the easier it is to deal with.

Take care.

What are you feeling overwhelmed with. Maybe some of us can help just to chat you through what you are feeling (not that we are therapists or professionals, just mums who have been there!)

Just popping back to say I hope you are ok.
Please don't feel isolated, there will always be someone here to hold your hand.
