Hey... I'm a newbie to posting threads, I have replied on some other threads but that's it.....
I'm 23 and I think I am suffering from post natal depression :( its horrible and is affecting my relationship with my fella... He doesn't seem to understand what I'm going through and doesn't really help me to not get stressed when I don't need to be stressed I.e helping me round the house ect ect which really gets to me as I know he works but its not like I sit on my ass all day long.. I have a v ery active 3 year old son and a 11 week old dughter... I suffered with depression since I was raped 7 years ago but didn't really do anything about it.. I also suffered with it after my son was born and was put on sertraline but me being me wanted to fight the depression myself which I thought I did but I hadn't and I just lived with it and painted on a smile.. Since having my daughter though I have become very low and I cry nearly almost everyday.. I sometimes think I haven't bonded with my daughter like I did my son and I start thinking stupid things like.. Do I wish I had her?? Do I love her like a mother should?? Ect ect I am going to ring the docs tuesday to see if I can get to see the woman doc... It doesn't help that if me and my fella argue he keeps saying I need to see the doctor and trys to blame a lot on my depression which is not the case.. I have been speaking to a few people on here and they have been so helpfull so if anyone else can give me advice or if people have been through the same thing I would like to hear that I'm not alone... Thanks mary
