Have I got PND?

I had a huge panic attack at the GP surgery this morning. Crying and shaking. I didn’t want to breast feed in front of the entire waiting room and was absolutely terrified. Also, felt like everyone was looking at me. The appointment was because he’s been having off colour nappies, so I was already really anxious about that.
My head is pounding now, I just want to run away. I had my mum visiting but she’s going home today (they live 4 hours drive away) it’s been a massive help having someone here, now I’m on my own and I just hate it. Sorry for the long post. I just can’t stop crying. The GP wants to see me again next Thursday as she’s concerned about me and how I’m coping.

Ahh you have my sympathy. Are there any breastfeeding groups next you that you could go too. More for moral support really. I found them really helpful when mine were little.
Is there any way you could get some extra sleep or some time to yourself. Even just an hour? It might help.

That sounds really tough going, hope you feel a bit better now? How old is your son? What is a normal day for you both at the moment?

Sorry for all the questions but I was in a very similar situation last year with my baby boy so I know how you're feeling!

The best advice I can give to you is to take each day at a time. Not even that, take each hour at a time. Focus on what gets you through the day. What makes you happy? Any little things that cheer you up do them. Get out of the house as much as possible. It WILL pass I promise you, time is the main thing that helped me x
