Where do I start? Well I feel totally messed up to be honest, not sure who turn to. I have 2 children, ds1 is 2.5yrs and ds2 is 9 months old. Dh is in the RAF and goes away a lot.
After I had ds1 I was really depressed for about 6 months but I managed to hide it from everyone. It gradually got better and I was feeling fine by the time he was 8 months old. However, a few weeks after having ds2 the depression returned. I've been able to hide it so far but I don't think I can go on much longer like this. I cannot cope! I thought this would go away like it did last time but I think it's just getting worse. I cry myself to sleep every night dreading getting up in the morning! I look at other Mums who cope so well with thier children and I feel like such a failure.
I live in an area where I don't know many people, I have no friends ( no friends that really care anyway ) and I can't tell my family as they're always like "Oh you're doing so well, we're really proud of you!" What can I do? I'm so ashamed of myself for having these feelings and I'd be so embarrassed having to talk to a doctor about this. Please help someone. x
