I would strongly urge you to see the OB/GYN who delivered your baby and discuss post-partum depression as soon as possible. Especially if you have had even fleeting thoughts of doing away with yourself. Post-partum depression is not just a mild case of the "baby blues." Your body and mind are going through what amounts to a tsunami of hormonal changes. You add in the stress of a newborn, the lack of sleep of hormones raging out of control and it can be a very, very dangerous mix.
Please see your doctor............but DO NOT EVER go back to the doctor who turned you away because you broke down in front of him. He should have his license revoked! I'm not sure about the UK, but there are hotlines over here that you can if you feel your life is falling apart after the birth of your baby. Call the hospital.......any hospital and tell them you need help.
I believe what you're experiencing is normal, but I think you have an extremely high level and need help before you hurt yourself or, god forbid, your baby.
If you have friends or family to call on, do so and tell them you're in trouble. This is NOT your fault, it does NOT make you a bad mother.......it is a well known medical condition that can be treated.
Please reach out again for help. You reached out to us, but we're too far away.
Check out our other forums about pregnancy. I THINK there is one for Post Partum........but there are many forums related to pregnancy and someone there will help you.
It's hard. I know. Things WILL get better but for right now you have to be strong for your baby.
If you ever feel like you might do harm to your baby, PLEASE put him/her in their crib, call 911, (or whatever the equivalante is in England) and leave the house. Sit on the porch or walk around in the yard, but stay on your property. Otherwise you may be charged with abondonment when all you are doing is being the best you can.
Please let us know how you're doing. You are not alone in these feelings.
God bless

Hey hun sorry for your pain and what you going thru.

I have been told by many on this forum whom has suffered for years that there its hope and there its a way out.

Don't ever give up no matter what we can make our they I have my bad days I have my good says and I have my worst days. But all in all I find comfort in finding people on here that will tall me thru this and help me out when needed. And in turn as much as I can I will do the same.. I'm a suffer from panic and anxiety attack with some depression. And I know its hard and it hit me out the blue and it has taken enough from me and I'm trying to not let out go further because I need and want my life back..

There is a light at the end of the tunnel hun keep your head up and try to get better. Try talking to a new dr someone will help. Have you talked to a therapist and what meds are you on if any?? I'm her for you hun. I know how you feel
