Post Natal Depression

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had PND with both my babies and still recovering. My husband and I are having troubles and I just want someone to talk to because I feel so lonely! I have zero support from family. My kids are beautiful little people and I just want to give them the best life.

I feel like there is nothing good about me and I struggle to find the energy to do anything a lot of days.

Hi Moonshadow86,

Welcome to the forums and thank you for deciding to join us. I hope that you'll find it to be a really helpful and supportive community here.

Of course I am more than happy to have a chat with you, but I personally don't have kids so won't be able to relate to that part. One resource I'd really like to recommend though is PANDA who help out people with PND. They help people who are very much in the same boat and they also have their own dedicated forums for other mums.

I hope that this resource is helpful and I hope you find some comfort in being apart of these forums.

Hi hon, I couldn't leave without letting you know that, I too know how all that feels, but I'm happy to let you vent anytime, brainstorm or discuss things that helped me at times :), whatever u want.

Ironically though I despised being pregnant, it was the one time in my entire life I felt 100% happy...just content....it blew my mind...I imagined it was what "normal" people felt like all the time...it was awesome! But alas those feel good hormones came with a physical price...24/7 migraines, headaches or unbearable hayfever...it all called down a bit after giving birth...but as the physical improved, the mental rapidly went back to my normal, then exceeded my normal, depressive state...until I was sooo lonely, and guilty for feeling unhappy,when I had just gotten the most wonderful gift....and scared that this time...I just couldn't seem to put myself back together......I can go on forever.....about anything....so instead...tell us more about you, how old are your children...Does your husband have any family close by? I've got a few suggestions to help build up a fun, supportive network.....if you like? ( And I'm a total loner...so if they helped me...could help anyone!)
