Hi all, I have a 5 week old baby and have just been diagnosed with pnd and prescribed sertraline.
Feel a bit scared of taking them & possible side effects with such a young baby to look after, but I can't go on feeling as rotten as I have been. Had a v traumatic labour/delivery although we both came out of it ok and this all just feels so unfair. DS was desperately wanted, I was so delighted to be pregnant after trying for 2 years and now I feel like this. I feel a total failure and as though I am ruining it for everyone. DH deserves a happy wife that can cope, DS deserves a mum that isn't a weepy nervous wreck and I want e to be happy and enjoy my baby. :(
Just wanted to vent and some handholding really, has anyone experienced similar and come out the other side, will I start to feel normal again?
What time of day is it best to take tablets? Are the side effects going to be awful?
Would really appreciate any advice/support I just feel so lost & the intensity of how I feel and how quickly It's come on has really knocked me sideways.
