Sarah, you're not alone. And please never feel ashamed or think that you are a bad mother, because you're not!! I definitely think it is important that you go and get help. Your a mom, we all need help sometimes. Be as honest as you can be with your provider and let them know how you feel.

"i have it right now was really bad straight after the birth of my daughter but im getting better each day and she is nearly 5 months old. just wondered whether anyone else was scared to go to the docs incase they thought u would hurt your baby? or if it was just me? "



 



i have an 11month old daughter and i feel depressed and have anxiety attacks all the time. I cry at the smallest of things and just feel like im going insane. Ive not been to the doctors about it, my health visitor keeps asking me how i am and i have to keep filling in forms about how im feeling. I know shes willing to help me and i think she can sense that something is wrong but yeah i find myself stopping from going to see her as i dont want her to think that. I also dont want to see her sometimes because i have days where i feel ok and can smile and i guess i think that she'll think im pretending or something.



I dont know whats stopping me, but i do feel like im going to burst sometimes!!!

Thank you, actually it's been a while since I've been over it, my sons 2 now. I was just wondering how many other people have experienced this. Thank you though :)

I had some post-partum depression after having my daughter. Is there anyway I can help?
