Hi there, can someone please tell me if what I'm feeling sounds like PND? Some days are great, really great but then other days I just want to curl up in bed and cry all day long. I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old and some days I really struggle, today being one of those days. I feel like I'm being very short with my 2 year old, very easily irritated and then I feel so guilty and cry. Thinking about going to the gp tomorrow to talk to her but I'm quite anxious about speaking to someone because I know I'm going to burst into tears while talking about it. Any advice would be very much appreciated
YOU SOUND SO LIKE ME, I really think you should go to your GP, it is so important to talk. It is a very much up and down illness and common to take it out on the older child and as you said the guilt is terrible. Are you eating ok? when I was bad couldnt eat and when good was ok. Are you sleeping? this was a big issue for me. Have you support? really important to get out for a walk even if only around the block, have you someone to talk . to? Look up helpfull suggestions on www.pnd.ie Attending a support group really helps, there is one in Cork on last Tues of the month in CUMH at 8pm. Take one day at a time and look on posotives.
