I've been diagnosed with PND too
Hi ladies
I bumped into my health visitor yesterday as she was visiting a neighbour who had her baby recently and she was asking about my little boy, just general questions really, how hes eating, sleeping etc, well i just broke down in front of her. We have been having a tough time of it lately, hes been really stressing me and my husband out not eating his food and moaning a lot.
However just over the last few months things have really got to me much more than they used to, i have really bad mood swings, short temper and I just haven't been feeling like myself and now its affecting my relationship with my husband. I told my health visitor how i was feeling through lots of tears and she suggested i may have PND and to go to the doctors.
I went this morning and was diagnosed with PND and now i'm on anti depressants and i've been referred to a consultant. My son is 7 months old and the problems that i'm having have been going on for some time. I'm finding this really hard to deal with at the mo as i have always been in control of everything and now i don't feel in control of anything anymore. My husband or my close family don't really understand what i'm going through and this is why i'm posting in this forum as i know there are people here who know what i'm going through.
Thanks for reading

Do you think that giving some information on PND to your family might help them to understand what you're going through and how to support you better? Sah xx
