I have just recently stopped talking anti-depressants as it seems since i had my baby, It triggered my depression quite badly.

I struggled since she was born because my partner worked nearly everyday as this is just something he likes to do. I have done everything on my own since she was born. Im so angry right now i could even say he was actually a shit dad.

I was doing really well and actually slowly weaned myself of the anti depressants but i feel as though i need to go back on them. I'm noticing myself being cranky and irritable. I don't really feel like holding up a conversation with him cos he just talks crap and hes such an "anti-feminist" and if you know who Andrew Tate is then you'll know the shit i have to listen to

He says that i talk to him like shit and this really irritates me. I only talk to people like shit for a reason. Hes patronising and talks to me like a kid and when i try and tell him right he gets all defensive and raises his eyebrows like a dick

There's not really much point to this post but i'm sick of being made out to be the bad person all the time when in reality i'm so burnt out cos he does the bare minimum its unreal!!!!!!

Angry

Partner meaning husband? How long have you been married or together? How was the relationship before you gave birth to your baby? Giving birth puts many mothers into postpartum depression. How long were you on antidepressants? If you were taking them for the first time, the minimum period is for six months, otherwise the depression may reoccur. If it recurs it will take a longer period to get rid of it. I presume you were given an SSRI or SNRI, and both these, may dampen your desire for sex.

Postpartum blues are easier to treat than other depressions, but still your partner should adapt to coping to live with a person who is depressed, even if for a short period of time. He should be more caring and more supporting, which is very important for the depressed person.
If you want to discuss this further, for further advice, you need to provide much more information.
