Baby is 5 weeks. I have 2 other kids. Oldest is 9, other is nearly 2.
I've not been diagnosed with PND but since I've just had a baby I assume it'll be classed as that. I could be wrong.
I've already spoken to the doctor and I'm on anti depressants. Husband keeps urging me to go and speak to someone. I have an appointment with the CPN in a few days.
Nights are the worst with the sleep deprivation and I'm ready to end it all. I've had these thoughts for at least a week now. It's not just the sleep deprivation but that's definitely not helping the whole situation.
Husband keeps telling me to call nhs 24 but what can they really do apart from arrange therapy. I've not harmed myself so far and I can't see them doing anything until I actually did something and needed medical attention.
I suppose what I'm asking is what to do in this situation? Is it worth giving someone a Call or do I just wait and speak to the CPN or HV? Will they even do anything? I feel like I'm beyond speaking to someone about all this. If counselling is the only thing they can offer then it's a waste of time. I do feel I need some kind of help but I'm just not sure 'talking therapy' will be useful.
I wake up from very little sleep and wish I never woke up at all.
