hi all i am a new member.
I dont know why but something has spurred me on to come to this forum. My wife suffered PNI with our first child, four years ago. We have had another child since.
It was very tough for six months which included a visit to a mother and baby unit in Stafford but everything is fine now.

Hi everyone, We just wanted to welcome any new members we have had over the past few weeks - which have be relatively quiet due to staff/ members on holidays etc.! We just wanted to say that it is fine if you do not want to post and it is enough for you to read the forum, as we know that for many this can be helpful without joining in........ But if you feel you would like to post - feel free, we really like to hear from new people. Of course we would rather you were not now suffering /or had in the past, what is an awful illness, but you will be very welcome to post anything you would want to about your life, your PNI, or if you are a survivor or relative of a sufferer - anything you would like to share. So if you would like to join in, why not start by introducing yourself in this section, or indeed post in any section that is relevant to you. All the best PNI ORG UK Team xx

Hi! I'm so glad i found this site! My parents can't understand why I can't just snap out of this depression. It makes me feel guilty for hurting them and for possibly affecting my baby. I've started on antideppressants and try to remain positive that this will get better. I want a good future with my child, instead of feeling terrified and guilt-ridden all the time.

Hello Aura and welcome
Many people who have not experienced depression find it hard to understand why you can't pull yourself together so you're not alone .
Pni is a debilitating illness and can take a bit of time to recover from. Well done on seeing your dr. Do remain positive as you will recover. It can take a bit of time for Meds to kick in. Perhaps keep a diary in diary section?

Hi All
I am new here too.
I suffered PND with the birth of both my boys who are now 13 and 9.
I got through it and hope that by joining others will see there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I still have ups and downs if major things happen but have learnt to get through it.
I am happy to share my experiences and emotionally support anyone who needs it.

Hello and welcome
It would be great if you could share your experience of pni. It is such a terrible illness so it always gives hope to sufferers to hear from ladies who are recovering and useful to lern how they manage. Perhaps you could start a new thread in one of the subsections?
Perhaps we could support you too if you're Having a low moment?
Thx for your support.
Monica

Hey, I am a new member . . . been suffering for 6/7 months since/just after the birth of my second child . . . I have CPN and psychiatric support, but i am not really sure how supportive they all actually are . . . am still left waiting for their therapy sessions to commence . . . Living with this seems like an endless battle, I feel like i am always trying to decode what my head is telling me, whether it is being truefull to me or not . . . Today I almost gave up my children to their farther as the franticness within my head told me to end it, that they would be better of without me in their life than having to live with this and 'me' on a daily basis.
