I know it looks a bit long but seriously read this if u think u mite b suffering post natal depression it helps.

hi my daughter is now 3 years old and it is only recently that i started to get real help for being post natally depressed. I 1st went to see my doctor when my daughter was about 4 months old and they didnt seem to have the time or patience to listn to me and just gave me some anti depressants that didnt work at all so i just seemed to deal with it. there was times when i felt my life was worthless and i was the worst mum in the world. i finally started to get the help i needed around 6 months ago when i was reffered to a counsellor this was the best thing that i have ever done i finally could put into words how i felt to some one that would just listen, it was amazing i could actually think and realise why i had felt the way i had for over two years. i still see my counsellor once a week. jus clear any issues i have.
i would definitely recommend any1 to see a counsellor dont sit around thinking no1 cares they do.

i had pnd after my first was born and think i getting it again as im having really dark thoughts. i went on a CBT course which really helped at the time, but i didnt see a councillor. my doctor too was unhelpful, all my help came from my health visitor, she came out to my house as many times as i needed. shame i cant seem to get hold of her now

its such an awful feeling. ive slipped bk into deppression this week, i wrote a post, (upset) on how i feel. i had dark scary thoughts last week, n i hurt so much that i could even think about leavin my daughter, she is amazing.
my counselor is great, almost like a best friend, also worried bout gettin to close tho, scared of how i will feel wen it ends, and it has to end sometime, im here 2 talk, sometimes helps to talk 2 ppl who understand, my family or o/h are a bit confused by it all. x
