Really need a hand hold

[sirlee66]

I have PND and anxiety. My period (second one since giving birth) is due and I'm an absolute mess.

Made a post earlier and I had some responses that I've found really upsetting and have made me feel so totally worthless again.

Really struggling and can't stop crying. I know I need to pull myself together but I have got myself so upset I can't get back now.

Looking for a hand hold until I feel better if there is anyone around?

Hand holding from here . Not seen what happened on an earlier post but just wanted to let you know you are not out there on your own.

I didn't see your post either. Are you having treatment for the PND and anxiety? It's not as simple as pull yourself together if you're not well.

Thanks. I am getting help. On sentraline and Was supposed to have the perinatal lady to see me this afternoon but it's been rescheduled for next week. Would have been handy having her here today.

Can you make some plans to help you get through to next week? What could you do? Anywhere you could go? It's tough. But you can get better with support.

Thank you Wolfie, I think I may need a break from MN. Which is a shame as when I've been in the darkest place, it's been posting on MN that's got me through.

Sometimes it is a good thing to take a break though. Doesn't necessarily have to be for long.

Hi

I just read the other thread 🌷

Honestly, don’t take it personally, there are a bunch of complete bitches on MN right now that will be vile no matter what you post.

You are not at all worthless, you are a kind, lovely, person and DS’s whole world.

Don’t let faceless bitches on a website reduce you to a sobbing heap. They’re not worth it.

That woman you helped today is probably kicking herself now for not taking your number, she was probably just embarrassed. But even if she isn’t, for whatever reason, I’d put money on her being very bloody grateful for your compassion today.

Don’t stop posting or reading, just don’t take the shitty posts to heart 🌷
