Postnatal depression

[thoughtikneweverything]

Does anyone else feel there’s no real
support for postnatal depression?
If you’re an alcoholic you can call them 24/7 but there’s no support for someone that thinks they’re struggling with Postnatal depression. I am struggling! Not to the point I’d ever hurt my child. I’m a mum or three. All girls. 16, 4 and 10 months. 10 months on and IT IS HARD! Harder than my others. I’m almost 40 so it’s not I’m not in touch with the world and the joys it brings but this is new and there’s no support!

Have you been to your GP?

My GP has over a three week wait. and whilst I’m booked in, I’m more concerned about the women that don’t have that wait

What support do you think you need? If you are talking ad can you ask your GP for a urgent app? I know my DRs do these.

Samaritans are open 24/7 for someone to talk to

Pandas support is especially for pnd

So I think there are options - maybe you just don't know about them
