Hi guys! I've felt so low since having my little boy 8 months ago! I'm just angry and crying all the time! I struggle to get through the day I don't ever want to eat anymore, I can't sleep I spend most of the day angry at my partner and then crying because I feel so guilty at how bad I've been to him...I never show this to my baby I can go and hide when I need to cry! Day to day is like a bubble just vacant, I also hate anybody else going near my baby and I get very angry if they try to cuddle him or even talk to him is this normal? Ive had this since giving birth

You need to speak to your GP and health visitor, sounds like you could have PND.

Don’t feel bad about it, get the support you need, you will get through this.

Don't feel guilty, it's not your fault. Having a baby is a huge shock to the system, you are still recovering from pregnancy and birth. A midwife told me it takes two years to recover your levels of nutrition etc. Plus even "easy" babies are bloody hard work. It's a 24 hour a day job, you are deprived of sleep and it all takes it's toll.
Be kind to yourself and remember that everyone is winging it.
Try to eat well- I don't mean dieting but try to make sure you eat some vegetables and fruit as often as you can. When the sunshines, get out in it. Make sure you go out every day, even if it's just round the block with the pram. Tell your partner and family how you are feeling and get them to give you a break sometimes. Even if it's just an hour to go and have a relaxing bath or to go out on your own and have a coffee.
And go and see your GP, they can help you.
I had PND and I tried to do the above and took a low dose anti depressant and I got better. YOu can too
