How am i supposed to cope? (Absolutely broken)

[Chrisii1991]

I feel like the worst i have ever felt in my life. To make it worse, those around me are telling me to just get on with it and how i feel doesnt matter, only the baby matters. Im on antidepressants. And are waiting for phone counselling due to the coronivirus. I feel suicidal, i cant breathe, i feel sick to my stomach. Im sick of being shouted at.

Shouted at by who? How old is your baby?

Have you told your HV that you feel suicidal?

Do you want to talk? I had PND with DD2 who is 10 months old, some days are still a bit shit but much better than the early days were.

How do i PM you?

I’ve PM’d you

I’m sorry you’re feeling so awful, OP. I also had postnatal depression and it’s so difficult to deal with when looking after a new baby.

Maybe try the pandas helpline? www.pandasfoundation.org.uk

PANDAS also have a closed Facebook group you can join for support if you’re finding it hard to speak to people. Feel for you OP, I’ve been there and it’s hard. Virtual hugs x
