Postnatal Depression

If you call 111 they will put you through to your local crisis team lovely. My inbox is always open if you ever want to talk. Remember you’re not alone and help is always out there, it’s nothing to be ashamed of lovely🩷

I've been exactly where you are. It's horrific and seems like you'll never feel better but hang in there mumma ❤️ definitely call 111 and get the crisis team who will likely refer you to perinatal mental health. I was convinced they weren't going to be able to help and was reluctant to go to any appointments or groups but slowly, alongside meds, things have improved a lot. Here if you want to message 💕

Hey girl. Im a perinatal nurse feel free to message me xx

Your health visitor can get you sorted with some therapy - they'll refer you and everything so you dont have to do anything but let them know

Call 111 and speak to the crisis team my lovely big hugs you aren't alone xx
I know it's hard but talking to a Dr or a health visitor but I promise you they will help you and not judge x

Please speak to your health visitor if you don't want to speak to your GP. You are fast tracked during pregnancy and after birth with NHS Talking Therapies. You can also look at self referring, just have a Google. If you need someone to speak to immediately you can contact the cisis team, or use helplines like Samaritans, papyrus, shout etc. If money allows you can search BACP therapist directory and find private therapeutic support specific to postpartum. You could also contact Mind and see if they have a local drop in, they can offer information, advice and sometimes some talking support. I work in mental health services as a Social Worker and have worked across a lot of these services so if you need any further information feel free to message.

Call Pandas +44 7903 508334, I was in the same position. How long ago did you have your baby? If not too long, tell your midwife or your health visitor.
