PND....Depression...

After the birth of my son I had severe post natal depression (I think it actually started whilst I was pregnant to be honest. perinatal depression) I too didnt seek help immediately, even though I was pretty sure that was what I had, I kept tellin gmyself I'll shake it off, I can do this. But in the end I couldnt do it alone. I went to my gp, who sent me onto a psychologist and I ended up having a few counselling sessions and going on an antidepressant Zoloft for a few months. Ive been off for about a month now and I feel great. What treatment did you go through? I hate the misconception people often havve about pnd sufferers wanting to physically harm their children. I felt useless and unable to cope, and kind of indifferent to my son. Like I was just going through the motions- horrible as that sounds to me now. Not once did I think about touching a hair on his head, but as soon as you say postnatal, most people look at you cross eyed...

I use to manage depression, listening musiq, playing violen and i like chocolates, and i feel i get refreshed after having my chocolates. And best remedy is Meditation, try breathing exercise, it will help you balance and handle depression.
