Depressed and taking it out on DH

I have had a history of poor mental health following a bereavement and 2 x post natal depression. Off the tablets now and I had some bereavement therapy earlier this year but I'm starting to hit a low point again and getting so frustrated.

I have young DC, work full time in a demanding job and we have busy weekends. I manage to make all that work but end up being too snappy with the DC and often downright horrid to DH.

If I go back to the doctor I will end up on medication again. I could afford more therapy but not sure when I could do it. Things with DH have been harder and I just need to vent really!

Hi OP, please don't be too hard on yourself, you have a lot going on an MH doesn't wait for a convenient time to bite you on the bum!
Do you have self help referral services in your area? In my area this bypasses the gp and puts you straight on the cbt waiting list.

Do let us know how you get on x

Thank you, I am going to talk to DH and see how we go.
