Self refer to TT with post natal depression.

Hey everyone, has anyone self referred to talking therapies with PND? I've been having a tough time these last few months, on antidepressants, not much support around apart from my mum really. Husband doesn't understand and I don't have many friends at all, just wondered how long it took you. Feel like I need the help now, thank you x

Marriage falling apart

I cannot share this with family or friends but i feel sincw the baby i feel our once happy marriage is falling apart. We both are falling out of love. I feel he is doing enough and he feels no matter what he does i find faults and taunt him. I feel immensely lonely since im new here and have no other family or friends. I get bad thoughts but slide them askde cause of my child. I just feel nobody gets me anymore and am alone in all this. Managing my kod in the room everyday and thats my life. No romance no nothing. I dont know what to do.

Early riser

My daughter will be 8 weeks old in two days, the last few nights she’s been waking for a feed around 5-6am, then is completely wide awake afterwards and will not go back to sleep. She’s also started making grunting noises even if she seems completely happy, so I can’t get back to sleep either as she’s so loud. Any tips on how to get this wake time slightly later? She’s currently feeding around every two hours (formula fed). Thanks!🥰

Co sleeping!

Need any advice on co-sleeping. I do not need judge ment or know it alls. I know in America it’s taboo but I need sleep yall. Newborn, only a week and a half old but I know for sure sleeping with him helps regulate and comfort him. I regret not doing it with my daughter. Still a nervous wreck about it tho. It’s been impossible to learn safe co-sleeping living in a country where it’s so frowned upon.

4 month sleep regression at 12 weeks?

Anyone else experiencing a sleep regression early? Is it the ‘4 month regression’ just coming around a bit earlier? My boy is 12 weeks now and consistently for a couple of weeks has been sleeping anytime from 8:30/9:30pm until 5/6am, waking to have 3-4oz of milk (around half what he has in the day) and then going back to sleep until at least 8am. The last two nights he has woken twice in the night and in-between wakes has all of a sudden become incredibly loud and fidgety in his sleep again. Tonight he fell asleep around 9:15pm, woke up around 1:30am, the dummy wasn’t cutting it and he was wide awake so I picked him up and he went off within 10 mins. He woke again at 4:30am, again dummy didn’t cut it but I knew he’d be hungry and was a bit more fussy this time round so he has just taken 3oz and fallen back asleep.

Im also slowly trying to creep his bedtime forwards so I wonder if this has anything to do with it whilst he adjusts. I know his circadian rhythm is still developing and he probably still has the startle reflex so this may be way for the time being as everyday is a little more predictable but still not exactly the same and we may be regressing a tad early. Sod’s Law just as I was getting back a good 7 hour stretch of sleep as he was being so peaceful, calm and quiet and didn’t move a muscle until he woke😂😂
