I think I am a danger to myself. I don't think I love my baby but I do care for him somewhat, I don't want my baby to be taken away. I live with my mum but I can't tell her I feel like this, I feel desperate and I'm scared of what I will do. I'm really embarrassed. Will I be put in a mother and baby unit? Will they take him away? I don't know what to do I can't carry on like this every second I'm trying not to hurt myself

Hello OP, we're so sorry you're having such a hard time postpartum. You'll get a lot of excellent support on Mumsnet - many of our users know just how tough this stage can be for new mothers.

We hope you don't mind, but when threads like this are flagged to us – we like to link to some ideas for support. We have some more information about postnatal depression, here.

We also wanted to share Mind's information with you – it has practical tips on what you can do when you feel like this and where to get urgent help. Maybe take a look and see if there’s anything which might be helpful right now.

Please do think about exploring some of the options in the links above. Samaritans are there for you too, 24/7, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123. You can also see the resources in our Mental Health webguide.

Very best wishes from all at MNHQ.
