Did you suffer from this? if yes, ho did you deal with it? does it go away by itself with time or do you need treatment for it?
I was suffering from depression from before I got pregnant. there was a lot issues related to family, work, moving to a new country, not being welcomed in the in-laws in a good way, not being able to make good friends blah blah blah…however I always tried to manage …then I got pregnant and was sick from 2nd month and mainly on sick leave throughout thewhole pregnancy. didnt meet many ppl and was isolated at home due to winter, back pain etc. hubby was and still is busy with fulltime work and part time studies so he is basically in a different world though he is doing his best to help out but its not sufficient for me as I miss HIM as a person and need him around me…anyways so even before the birth I wasnt too well, then a lot happened after the birth and I am just feeling so lost and so depressed…I miss having adults around to converse with but there arent any baby groups around that I can join and I have posted on local websites to connect with local mums but no luck.
FIL is staying with us currently but he is a really quiet person and doesnt speak much. it is difficult to have a conversation with him. when I call my parents there is always a new drama taking place so i have stopped calling regularly. siblings are busy in their own lives…
so back to my questions…how do you deal with postnatal depression?
