Hello, after some guidance really.. I was in severe post natal depression when I delivered last year.. with support from my partner, I got better and was ok till today... but now I have the same sinking feeling and hopelessness creeping in.. and I feel so lost and a failure... I am trying hard to fight it.. but I feel it's like a quick sand and I sink deeper the harder I fight... I due to start work in a month and my baby still doesn't sleep well in the night and I feel I have failed big time as a mum as I couldn't even get that right... I am trying. Hard to be happy.. but at this point I don't feel like doing anything.. not even play with my baby or eat or go back to work etc.. I have lost the will to eat or to even get up and do something... I fell am letting my partner down by not being stronger and happy but I really don't know what to do..please help

The worry of returning to work and lack of sleep probably won't help can you talk to your partner about how your feeling?

@mumontheblock Im currently in either PND or baby blues.. not sure which yet!
The only thing getting me through at the moment is support! Do you have anyone else as well as your partner? My mum and sister and really helping me with the baby and it make me feel ten times better.
A full night sleep once a week is amazing as well if hubby will have baby x
