[QUOTE="Claire007, post: 1446089, member: 184290"] Hi Hannah, I was diagnosed two years ago and I still remember quite clearly the feelings of despair/anger/sadness. I still get them too, but they're less frequent now. It really is like grief, you're grieving for the way you lived your life before, but! It does get better. I didn't have a new born to cope with though and I hope you are getting plenty of support? I wouldn't want to attempt an armchair diagnosis but I think your vulnerable to PND when you experience something life changing so soon after birth. I have had counselling with a clinical psychologist since my diagnosis, maybe this is something you could discuss with your DSN/GP? even if you don't feel you need it right now (or have time! :)) it might be worth getting the ball rolling just in case due to waiting lists.
