Hello,
I'm hoping for some advice or a kind word. I suffered PND after my son was born a year ago and despite having counselling I'm still battling with it.
I just look at myself and my life and can't stop feeling down even though I know I have so much to be grateful for.
I'm about 4 stone overweight and have completely stopped making an effort with my appearance. I feel invisible and like life is passing me by.
I used to be so full of life and confident but I just feel so far removed from that it a like I'm a different person. I applied for a new job last week and was invited to an interview today but turned it down. I just panicked and feel so angry with myself.
My boyfriend is very kind and supportive to an extent but he doesn't understand why I feel so down and sometimes I think he feels offended because in his eyes I should be happy because we have a lovely baby together.
I've thought about what I can do to try and help myself out of this but just feel so drained intend to just flop on the sofa on an evening and go on my phone. Social media is a massive trigger for me as I constantly compare myself to others. I know that this won't help.
I've tried to lose some weight but after a few days on a diet I end up bingeing and feel worthless again.
I never thought I would feel like this and seem so lost. I don't want to be like this any more .
Can anyone help or suggest anything that I can try to get myself out of this?
Thank you
