nothing left to give

[newmummy27]

i am ashamed to say that i feel like i have been reduced to a nothing by my dh. he doesnt respond to me, we cant have a conversation with each other about our feelings, it is always about doing jobs or we talk about the tele or factual things.my ds is 8 months and i am dying inside. my PIL are here this weekend and it is all a farce. I cant stand being anyway near them, i dont like how they are with ds. I am having to leave the room, but so far have kept my cool. i feel like i am being bullied but my husband who says i am paranoid and depressed. i am close to breaking point. he keeps giving smirks to his mother and she responds. they are all downstairs with ds now. he keeps saying for me to rest, stop. i feel like i am heading for a break down. he doesnt fancy me, and i dont care. he looks at other women. i dont fancy him, he has his head up his own arse. sorry for language. what do i do?

Hello,

Is it possible that you could be feeling a little low and run-down?

It sounds to me like you are feeling as if you no longer love your husband, or perhaps since the baby was born you have not had enough time to sit down with eachother as a couple and enjoy eachother's company the way you perhaps used to?

Your husband doesn't sound very sympathetic to be honest and could certainly learn a lesson or two about being more supportive and compassionate towards you.

Newmummy your post is shouting PND to me.

Your feelings are very real to you but may not be in proportion to whats happening around you. That doesn't mean they aren't valid or real, just that theres another reason for them. Please please as a first step go and see your gp or talk to your hv. There is no need for you to go on feeling this way.
