PND...can you over come it for it then to return..?

[Mine]

i can only discribe the way i feel as a return of 'mild' PND. is this possible after coming through it 5 months ago..??

ds is now 7 1/2 months. He is my first.
I had PND when he was born but thought i'd gotten through it. But recently i feel so up and down all the time, teary, snippy at my lovely dh.
I have nothing to complain about in my life, i have a lovely devoted and very supportive dh, a beautiful healthy, happy ds and a family that loves and supports me no end, but i just can;t seem to put the good things in my life at the forefront of my mind, and just keep focusing on the negatives.

Having days when i feel as though i'm in total control, and confident of the care i am giving my baby, but then on other days like today i feel so inadequate and uncertain of myself.

I'm sure this too will pass, but maybe putting it out here might reassure me i'm not failing....

yes it can come back.
Everyone has blip days, you just have to worry and get help when they out number the good.

we all worry about if we are doing it right and at times all feel inadequate.

Has ds hit a different stage? is he teething? it could be something natural he is going through and NOT anything you are doing wrong?

If you think it is coming back then i would suggest seeing your gp or hv to discuss things with them
good luck

Agree with Sue, often can hit you like a sledgehammer. Go and see your gp, I did this week and feel so much better now. Just remember you are a fab mum with a husband and ds who love you no matter what. x

Yes it can come back, although that's not to say your's has. You are allowed off days .

Talk to your HV and GP.
