I have recently been diagnosed with PND. I didnt have it with my DS but my DD i do. She is 6 weeks old tomorrow and I have had breakdown after breakdown begging for help some days. But knowing all this my husband has still gone to hos worka christmas party. He has been at work all day, was home for all of 2 hours then went out again. My toddler needs to get ready for bed but my baby is screaming because she has colic and i got so worked up I ripped a chunk of my own hair out.
The fact it feels like he didnt even consider the impact it could have on my mental health has hit hard. Ive told how much ive been struggling for weeks but he only sprung the party on me 3 days ago. I just feel so much resentment. I dont know if its mean of me to just need support or I should just get on with it.

@PortiasBiscuit I'm guessing the OP doesn’t get any downtime, and is probably in more need of that what with having PND. If she has been begging for help that sort of implies he’s not really helping and responsive to anyone’s needs, apart from his own

This ^ with bells on! PND is not just feeling a bit down or baby blues. It's very serious. If she didn't feel sh could cope, he should not have gone! Simples!

No one should be going to a party when they have a 5 week old. What a shit husband 😩

This would be fine for some people though, you can’t generalise.

omg sometimes I swear you can’t say anything on here without it being nit picked at. Ok some women might be fine with it, for many they would find it a bit shit.
