Hi.Im 24 and have just had my first baby (DS 5 months old). Right now my life is completely upside down with family issues and I worry constantly.
I went to the doctors the other day and he said I have PND. It had never even occured to me that it might be depression. I dont sleep and often sit at the top of my stairs in tears,pathetic I know. I cant control myself and have no idea what the hell is wrong with me.
I always thought it was the shock of a new baby that would get you down but I love being a mum and I love spending time with my wee boy.
I am worried that because its my family that I stress over constanlty and not my home life, will it go away and will I feel better.
Doctor has prescribed me 6 sleeping tablets(which are bl*y great)but I can have no more as they are highly addictive. I have to makean appointment with him in twoweeks and also speak to my health visitor.
