How to cope with depression

So I've recently been diagnosed with PPD and I am really struggling. I'm on medication but it doesn't seem to be doing much. I just feel like I'm losing myself and I keep making stupid mistakes. Just wondering how people cope with it? It just seems to be getting worse😭

I struggled so bad with it. I’m 16 months in now and it’s better but I still have bad days. Please open up to people, let people help and allow people to see how vulnerable you are it’s really bloody hard. I’m in Barnsley so please feel free to ask me anything. I’m not too far away. Congratulations on your baby xxx

I was diagnosed with PPD as well. I am taking medication as well. I try to get out every day. Maybe walk. The medication is helping more. I take 2 different medications. But it helps to feel less dark mentally.

I’m currently going through the same thing with anxiety and depression. I’m under the perinatal mental health team who have been fantastic. Are they available in your area? I’m also taking medication, now on the highest amount and don’t feel they are doing much (I will add it was a GP that put me on these and not the Perinatal team). Xx
