One year post birth and my PND is no better. I’m on meds, they’re making me worse. My husband left, I went back to work but was immediately signed off as I couldn’t cope.
Im waiting for a call back off the psychiatrist with what he advises but I just can’t go on.
I’ve come out to clear my head and I’m just sat in a field crying. I don’t want to die because of life, I want to die because I can’t cope with this mental pain anymore.
I have friends, my best friend is fantastic but I don’t want to ring her because I feel like a burden even though she says repeatedly that im not. But she has a partner at home and I don’t want to drag her out. They’re going away Friday I can’t ruin it.
I have someone picking my daughter up from nursery, so I don’t need to rush back for her.
Part of me wants to call a&e but the other doesn’t because when I went in from an overdose in July I was sent home as they said o was of sound mind to seek help. I want help but also want it to end.
What do I do? I am so muddled

Oh op
So sorry you are feeling like this Flowers
Are they phoning you back today? If you don’t hear from them please seek some urgent help. I’ve been in a dark place in the past where it has felt that the only way to stop the mental torture was to end it all. Things will get better, hang on in there. Please speak to your friend, she wouldn’t want you feeling like this on your own.

This WONT last forever. I'm not sure how long you have been on those meds or if they have been changed recently. If they haven't then you need to keep trying with your meds till they get the right ones. You don't really want to end it, this is your illness talking.

My dad always says "don't make a permanent decision about a temporary situation" things WILL get better.

Hi OP I saw your other post the other day. I can relate to this. I am still suffering and my son is nearly two so we were discharged from everything and all the support I had as now he's over one it's not perinatal anymore, apparently...

What medication are you on?

Here for you. 🌸
