Can anyone give me some advise.
I am unsure if I am suffering PND. I am 27 years old and have suffered depression for about 9 years now, I have only realised this after receiving anti d' from my doctor.
I first contacted my GP in Nov, a short time before my son's 1st b'day, explained very tearfully my symtoms.
GP gave me Citalopram20 and I have been on them for over 2 years, but I have quite low patches (not as bad as the one before wee boys birthday) I am very anxious about being on my own for any length of time with my son, I feel very isolated and lonely, I am very afraid that I may harm my son and this is what is tearing me apart, I love my wee boy very much, so I can not understand the way I feel or think about him, I am too ashamed to tell anyone these thoughts as I fear my son may be taken from me. My partner is understanding to a point, but I want to take control of my life again, and not have to wait for the next "bad patch" is this PND or am I just "mad"
