Do you think this is PND

[sarahsbump]

Hi all I have a lovely DS aged 6 months and a wonderful DP money is a bit tight but we arent struggling as such,life should be happy and content but I feel so bad.
Its got worse over the last week and I keep breaking down in tears if things dont happen straight away eg DS didnt eat his breakfast this morning so I sat and sobbed my heart out!
Some days I get up and feel on top of the world and other days I just cry, I suffered depression 3 years ago and felt similar so I think it may be PND
I have an appointment at the docs later but do you think he will give ADs?
I took citralopram last time will they work for this?

TIA

You're doing the right thing, seeing the GP.
If you've had depression in the past and this feels similar, you're right to take it seriously.
Don't know what the GP will advise, but if you have any ideas/preferences, ie if you do or don't want ADs or a particular AD you should make that clear.
Good luck, well done for making the appt. You won't feel like this forever.

hi sarahsbump, you sound like me about two weeks ago! DS is 7.5 months and i feel really bad. i talked to my HV and he said i definitely had PND. i have decided to try to get through this without ADs as i didn't get on with them well when i was depressed a few years ago. my GP was not very helpful back then so i am not keen on going to see him about the PND. i've been taking some positive steps (eating well, keeping busy, going out with DS to babygroups) to get through the days. DP has been great and making sure i have a routine and the housework gets done.
good luck at the docs and take care.
