I don't have experience on post partum depression, but I have suffered depression. I read on a TV program that post partum depression can start any time, and not just right after child birth. So my suggestion is to seek medical help. If nothing else, you can talk to a doctor and they can make a determination for you. It isn't easy to suffer with depression and I imagine it's even tougher when you have a child to worry about.

I am so sorry that you are going through a tuff time. I myself have post natal, and my little girl is now 16mths old, it can come at anytime and affects us all differently. You need to go to your Dr and get seen to,its the best thing for your little one and you.They can help you out.....

I hope you can work this out, come onto minti more and read some other mothers experience,it will help you through this time....good luck sweetie....

Ok, first big hugs, your poor little man & poor you. My daughter is 11 months, healthy but apparently I have post natal. Its hard work looking after any bubs, let alone a sick one so dont feel bad that you have no energy for housework,

If its possible can you get someone to give you a break  couple of hours a week? I know its hard(I hate leaving my kids) But it will do you both the world of good.

There are plenty of people on here who you can talk to & make friends with,we are all here for you. Maybe if you are in a bad relationship, it might be better if you get away from him?

We are all scared of losing our kids whether they are sick or not, its a mum(& dads) biggest fear so its natural.

I would talk to my doctor or health centre nurse if I were you.

Good luck, sending all my positive vibes for your son, hope he gets better. Minti mail me if you need to talk & if I cat help, I will find someone who can

Take care of YOU.
