I had pnd with my first child, now at 10mths since the birth I come up as moderately depressed each time I do that questionnaire with the doctor, but not enough to require ads (am a bit relieved about that, though a stint with them years ago did help.)

Anyway a few weeks ago I went to the docs as I am fed up of living in the secrecy of having an ED.. doc ok and pointed me to the counsellor, and have also started attending BEAT support group, but I feel so lousy at the moment. I have taken a big step to find some support yet I feel lousy thinking about how this might effect my baby. It doesn't help that he has a mega cold at the moment either.

Today consisted of not very much I think I am doing the minimum to get us through the day, eg we did go for a walk, am feeding him (from jars) feel very guilty about this, but fed up of making things and him deciding he's not interested. I am mad at myself though I am having a good day on the food front, I feel so and am having a few spells of just crying for no reason

Thanks for listening.

sorry your feeling bad at the mo .what does ed mean .
good for you at realising you need help and are attending beat so many people wait until its at its worst to get help.
millions of babies are fed on jar food my 3 included and they are very healthy so no need to feel bad about this you are doing your best
