Im 27 married and have 3 dc's 6,4 and 11 months. I suffered with pnd after both dd's but since ds was born last december i have been the happiest i can remember in a long time. The last couple of weeks however i have started to feel low again. I definately feel different to how it was with the pnd though. I feel that i have soooo much on and so much i need to organise and keep on top of that im sinking. The major problem i have is that i dont feel able to hand over things to my dh. When i do ask him to do things for me i just end up cross that he hasnt done them 'right' and we end up falling out. I feel if i dont organise things and sort them myself that things wont run smoothly. I also find myself feeling anxious/paranoid that i dont have good friendships and that people dont actually like me but just talk to me to be polite :(

Sorry u r feeling this way. I find it helps to think of recovery from mental health difficulties as a process, something which u go through different stages of and which u may keep on exploring. It does sound like u r feeling stressed right now and that is affecting your behaviour(wanting to keep control) and thoughts (worrying others don't like u) for example. Can u think of some things which help u lower your stress?

Can you describe how you think that your dh doesnt do things "right"?
