PND- ever really go away?

[suninthefog]

DS is 2, I've been medicated since he was 15months. I thought I was all better and came off my meds. Today he refused to nap and I feel broken all over again. He is usually naps at daycare now but he was off today.

I'm shaking, crying etc. I dropped him off at my mums.

Does it ever actually get better? Am I not cut out for motherhood ? Why is napping and sleeping such a fucking issue!!! Why!! I'd love to fucking go to sleep in the middle of the day.

Sorry don't have much advice but just a hand hold. I totally understand how you feel. I know it maybe sounds infuriating and easy for me to say, but he is still so young and these phases will pass.. these challenges are so tough at the time though, sleep is aways such a tricky one. I really hope you feel better soon but please don't be afraid to go back to drs if you feel you need x

My DD almost 4. I’m still like this.

Hard though it is to do this, but probably go with the flow if it’s a day off. He won’t die if he doesn’t nap. If you need a break, setting up a safe place to keep him while you rest is a good idea.

no one is “cut out” for motherhood, in my view. Everyone is winging it. Some just are better being swans (graceful on top, legs going underneath) or can buy in help (cleaners etc)
