I was diagnosed with late onset pnd 7 months ago, it kicked in when dd was 13 months old but was not tackled for 18 months. I started medication which calmed me down and the Dr suggested that I do very little until I felt better able to. This was brilliant advice I took life by the reigns have achieved many many goals including making new local friends, finding a pt job, holding a big scale birthday party for dd and streamlining my home. I have found myself growing increasingly frustrated over the past month, I feel as though my days are like water torture, applying the same routines day in day out, managing the home, having endless inane conversations with other mums and picking up after dd. I felt so desperate the other night I said to my husband that I felt sandwiched between childcare and housework and am experiencing zero fulfillment. I am doing an online course and cannot find the energy or time to do it as I'm overwhelmed by the other areas. I am 40 and would always describe myself as being a worker more than a mother the former comes much more naturally to me. I desperately want to devote so much more time to my career but the opportunities are elusive. Dd is at nursery 3 days a week and the 2 days I'm with her are starting to drag and be consistency frustrating.
Is if time to go back to docs as the depression deems to gave evolved into extreme frustration.
