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

Really sorry to hear how you’re feeling. I self-referred to TT a couple of years ago (not for PND) and it didn’t take long for someone to contact me back, maybe a couple of weeks? Your GP may also potentially be able to expedite the referral.
I’ve really struggled since becoming a mum despite being on antidepressants. I’ve found that planning things to do, such as parent and baby groups, a way to help distract and make me feel better, and they’re a great way to meet other parents and spend some time with your LO out of the house, even if they’re being difficult.
Really hope you get the support you need soon and I’m available for a chat/ vent if you’d like ☺️
