It's not easy admitting to ourselves that we are ill and need help. And it takes an even longer time to forgive ourselves and know that despite it all we are still great parents to our little ones. I think more of us need to be open about PND. It's probably more common than we realise. xxCharlie - Sophia's Choicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256553594200374259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-76378189742769857862012-11-19T19:18:28.637+00:002012-11-19T19:18:28.637+00:00What an amazing post - I wish you all the best wit...What an amazing post - I wish you all the best with your recovery xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721149963170697643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-63112209293165891882012-11-19T11:23:59.107+00:002012-11-19T11:23:59.107+00:00I'm so sorry to hear what you've been goin...I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going though.

It take...What a tough time you've been having. <br />It takes huge courage to take those first steps to recovery - and I strongly believe that doing so is a sign of great emotional health: it means that somewhere inside you know you can and will and deserve to be happy again.

I struggled so much with this exact anxiety after Nathaniel was born, compounded by a subsequent miscarriage that I blamed on the awful disease they had yet to diagnose, then when Amelia was born I turned it outwards and thought there was something wrong with her (made worse by her being in and out of hospital).<br /><br />I'm so glad you posted this, huge props to you for being so honest and open about it. It's been lovely seeing you getting back into the world, you were sorely missed xClairehttp://chaptersofclaire.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-35406091965736861052012-11-18T21:56:38.793+00:002012-11-18T21:56:38.793+00:00It's so hard admitting that there's someth...It's so hard admitting that there's something amiss in your life. It's made harder by knowing that the only person who can really help you is some doctor you barely know, who you feel will judge your ability as a mother. I haven't been brave enough to write a post about my own PND but it's always a massive relief knowing that someone else feels/felt the way I did. Well done for taking action and I hope things get much easier for you.<br /><br />(Found your blog on MN)Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341069586669223860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-10620392799730652602012-11-18T21:43:22.976+00:002012-11-18T21:43:22.976+00:00I'm so glad you were brave, admitted you neede...I'm so glad you were brave, admitted you needed help a.d went and got it. I had no idea how bad you were feeling.<br /><br />One thing though - and I'm not having a go in any way at all because I think you've been very brave in writing all of this down - working full-time does not mean you're not cut out for being a mum or raising children, or that you love your children any less (speaking as a full-time working mum myself).
