Post natal depression
My baby is 2 weeks old and I find myself emotional all the time , she was crying while I was changing her and I just burst into tears, I don’t want to be with my partner anymore I think I’m suffering from post natal depression. I just don’t feel good enough. Has anyone else gone through this / feeling like this
I have gone through similar feelings myself due to having a complicated pregnancy, labour and difficult circumstances with my little boy after birth all of which made me feel like I wasn't good enough and I really struggled with anxiety as a result. My midwife made a referral to my local perinatal mental health team and I am now getting support from them to help my anxiety. Although the support has only just started, I am starting to feel better. If you talk to your midwife (if still under their care) or the health visitor they may be able to make a referral or signpost you to relevant support if you feel like that is what you need. Feel free to message me even if it's just to vent 😊 x
