PND after. 6 months?

[namechangebaby22]

I seem to be really struggling right now. Love my DD more than anything but for me myself I hate the way I look and feel. Everyone I meet I feel like they're talking about the way I parent and I hate it. Is this normal or something more?

Hi,

It sounds like you are having a tough time. Do you have people to help?

I think it would be worth talking to your GP about how you are feeling as PND is a possibility. Go and see the GP and tell them honestly how you are feeling.

I think it’s worth talking to your GP or health visitor. I had PND/A after both of my children and I found that each time I had real peak at around 6 months. I think it’s when all the tiredness etc. really caught up on me. Hope you find some support soon.

There are some quite good books about PND. Might be worth a look on Amazon.

Sorry for the late reply- I've spoken to my gp and she has said I have PND and given me tablets- told me they can take 4 weeks to work- yesterday felt like utter shit and luckily my DP has a good understanding so took little out for a couple of hours then had me doing little daft jobs like watering his parents garden to get me out the house... feel completely different today but know it will come in stages xx

Glad to hear your update @Milliesmummy92 it is good that you are getting help. It can take a few weeks for the tablets to really help, but hang on in there, the side effects can be rubbish. I found it helped that I could tell myself that by starting the tablets I was on the road to recovery. Each day was a step closer.

Your DP sounds supportive which is good. I found it very helpful to have one small thing planned for every day just to get me out the house for a bit even if I didn't feel like it.
