My son is nearly 1. I'm depressed. I've been there before. I know what it feels like to sit in the dark corner with the window blinds down and eyes set to teary.
I hate my job. Detest it. I don't get a huge amount of emotional support from my partner (he doesn't understand emotions therefore won't discuss them). I love my son to bits but when I'm not at work I'm itching to get some 'me' time away from him.
I'm dreading his first birthday - I feel like I could crumble at any moment. I'm teary and anxious and I don't enjoy anything.
Could this be PND or normal depression? Am I just having a natural reaction to the upcoming anniversary of a crappy birth and a very tough year?

Is it PND if diagnosed around a year postnatally?
