Difference between blues and pnd?

[jade21887]

My baby is 4 weeks old. Over the last few weeks, I havent been myself. I cant stop crying, constantly feel down. Every little thing sets me off. I cant get lachy to sleep properly, just feel as if ive failed.

I think having the blues might mean you have a bad day or week then your ok and things start getting better. PND is something you cant just get over in a week and it usually requires medication and counselling to feel better. have you seen a doctor about this?

I thought I had PND a few weeks ago but I think i was just having a bad week. I had been stuck in the house with a newborn for too long and started going a bit crazy. I felt better after I went out and started planning my days with activities.

I really hope things start getting better for you :hugs:

I would really urge you to go and chat to your GP or CHN and tell them honestly how you are feeling. They'll be able to make more of an assessment and point you in the right direction.

I hope things improve for you soon:hugs:
