OP this might sound like a silly question, but what do you need?

Would you like to vent? Virtual hugs? Other people's stories? Stuipd memes to make you laugh? I don't ask this to be a twat, I have needed all of these at times. But it would be good to know what will help you. Smile

Rose, just hearing others' stories helps x

Been there. Exactly there with same aged child. Post Natal Depression is the worst. It very nearly killed me. But it does get easier.

I am one year on. And the key for me was recognising that I DID have a life away from him. Letting myself see that I COULD go on. And that I will, one day meet someone even better and be a happy family once again. You just have to not let it eat away at you. Let out all that emotion and then start going places, meeting new people, socialising and rebuilding your life separate from him.

Go to docs and maybe discuss some anti depressants. They keep my spirits high x

Good luck x

Oh, bless you - wish I was round the corner - I would come round and help, and tell you daft stories, and cheer you up. You need contact. You need other people around you, to support you and help you enjoy your baby and feel that you are looked after and not alone and that this will all be ok, and is just a period of time. Things will get so much better, and your baby will grow up and will start to walk soon and talk and there will be so much joy in being the person there when all this happens.

I think you need to talk to someone about your isolated situation and think about what you can do to change it. I can't live on my own - I literally go mad. I need the comfort and warmth of others around me. And your little baby needs so much at the moment - but can also give you loads back. I think you need someone who can talk, though.

Would you think about moving to be nearer your family? Or sharing with a friend? Or going to groups and seeing more people? I feel worried about you and wish could give you a big hug : ( xx

I wasn't right where you are a few months ago (for a period of two years) but I got through it and tonight I just drove through the town I used to live in with the man who broke me and, instead of falling apart - which just 4 months ago I would have - I felt nothing but a mild thing of regret, but it was regret for wasting so many years and so many tear on a man who didn't deserve me.

I'm in a much happier place now. You will be too - I promise.
