Hi all,
Sorry this is a long one.
I am pretty sure I am suffering from PND, it seems to have appeared from nowhere. I am finding myself quite tearful and emotional for no reason what so ever, am having trouble sleeping, seem to have a dull headache all the time. I looked up the symptoms on the net yesterday and I have about ten of them, but cannot remember what they all were now.
I think I know why I have this, as I have managed to get myself stuck in a rut of staying in the house. Sometimes I can stay in for days at a time and not even venture outside. my husband works full time, and I dont have any local friends who dont work fulltime. I have been lazy and now cannot get motivated to get out!
I did get a list of groups to go to from my health visitor, but all the ones near me are only available during term time. I know I need to start getting out more and doing things, thing is I am at a loose at what to do, and where to start. I went out for a walk with the pushchair yesterday and that did make me feel much better for a little while.
I have spoken to my husband about this yesterday, well I had to as I burst in to tears as soon as he walked through the door. Bless him he hasnt got a clue what to say, his suggestion was do I want to go back to work earlier. I am also going to call my HV today for help.
my reason for this post is to try and find out what you guys do on a day to day basis, and what has helped you from climbing the walls. any ideas or tips would be really appreciated.
