Is it possible to get PND 9 months after giving birth?
I felt absolutely great (mostly) up until about a month - 6 wks ago. I have had quite a hard time of late (repeated illness, DD being ill too, financial concerns) but I am unsure if this is PND or just depression. It is affecting my relationship in a big way as although my partner is supportive i really resent his 'freedom' to have a life/social life and for some reason I feel really hard done by all the time. But realistically he let's me do stuff so don't know where this is coming from. I have become oddly un-trusting (because i am insecure?) and have lost my confidence. I just feel generally crap but instead of changing it seem to be in a rut of feeling sorry for myself and only seeing the bad things. I seem to be blaming him for it all but I think it's in actual fact me that has the problem. I feel like I am becoming a crap mum after being so attentive but suddenly I feel bored and like it's a chore. My DD is wonderful and very good so I hate myself for feeling like this. I think I am just really lonely. My partner is going out tonight to the pub for a birthday and I am not going because we are broke and a babysitter is expensive but I am feeling crazily upset/fed up about this when In reality i could just go but I almost can't face it as am worried we will end up arguing If i have a drink or two.
Anyone felt anything like this before? I just feel a bit trapped in an unhappy place!
