I have body dysmorphia. It's so bad right now that I'm ruining my relationship with my partner and struggle to be in the moment with my baby.
I keep obsessing over surgery or just killing myself as I'm such a burden to everyone around me and how can I be a good mother to my child when this is all i think about.

My depression has wore my partner down To the point he's given up on me.

We just bought a house have a baby as he says I'm still not happy so fuck it.

I don't know what to do. I've done CBT feel I'm having a massive relapse and just can't see how therapy will help anymore.

Sorry you are feeling this way. How old is baby? Are you still under care of a midwife?

Sorry to hear this, op. I really think you should make an appointment with your GP, or let your health visitor know. You are not a burden and no-one is better off without you. I know the intrusive thoughts are horrendous, but therapy (and possibly some ADs) can help - please, for your sake as well as the baby's, ask for some help from the doctor Flowers

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
