Is this Postnatal depression?

[Singsoul91]

Hi..

I believe I have post natal depression and just wondered what help people had when they reached out?
Was it worth it?
Was health visitors supportive?

I'm 6 weeks pp and cry most days.
I have good days but more bad days and when the bad days are around, I have no interest in anything. Not even my baby.

I obviously look after my baby and feed their needs but it feels a chore rather than a pleasure.

I get really snappy at my partner and hate myself for it but can't help it.
The littlest thing gets to me.

I've never had any sort of depression before or even been hormonal so this is all new and strange to me. I don't know what to do.

Spoke to my partner almost every down day as we are very open but he just think it is lack of sleep.

I think a lot of it is sleep and having a traumatic Labour.

Have you had your 6 weeks check with your health visitor? I just had mine and she did the postnatal check. Yours responses sound in line with the questions asked. She'll be able to guide and support to the services out there. I wish you well.

I remember one of the questions was about crying in the day. I'm sure you can google the questions asked.

It sounds a lot like it
