Hav e3 children, my hormones have been all over the place throughout pregnancy and life in general, I am over the moon with ds1 but am feeling particularly tired and all over the place, typical day is st johns wort(Self prescribed,caffeine and then on to wine-only at the weekends) I am moody with DH who is fabulous (Bit old fashioned man, I could do with more help!)he works very hard and loves us to bits.I can;t work out wether i have PND, am tired and just touchy or what.I do have an addictive personality so in times of hardship tend to reach for stimulants..Feel a bit isolated as I don't feel anyone is in the same boat......

sound like you're maybe stuck in groundhog day. Do you do the same thing day in and out?
I'm sure you're not the only one so dont worry

What if you threw somthing in your week or day to just have time to yoruself. like from 8-9 is just mommy time to have a long bath or workout (ALWAYS improves ones thinking and mentality) or read a chapter but no one can bug you at all.

Try to find a hobby or join a club of some sort to help you talk to new people and make friends

gameforalaugh you are not alone - I've also got 3 children & have been on & off prescribed antidepressants for the past 8 years or so - I just wish I could feel happy & really appreciate my family but there is something stopping me - I blame it on a chemical imbalance but who knows?? Good luck
