Please someone talk to me

[babyblues21]

I have awful post natal depression and no family around. Me and partner not getting on. I can't get through to my MH support team. My baby is 8 weeks. I'm just sat here alone on the floor with my baby. Someone please talk to me I can't do this anymore

Thank you for your message. I'm doing a little better thank you. I still cry most days but I just have to cry to get it all out and then I feel a bit brighter. There are days I feel very trapped and just want to run away, but when I look at my baby I know I never could. I was honest with one of my friends too about how I've been struggling and she was great and came round recently to sit with me and just talk etc. It helped. I'm thinking I might ask to be discharged from my mental health team now as it's been over 2 months since my baby was born and I should be able to do this on my own by now.

I’m so sorry you’re struggling.

You sound like an amazing mum well done for reaching out.

I wouldn’t be in a hurry to be discharged lovely, just take your time and don’t know put any pressure on yourself.
