Am struggling to cope i have been on meds now citrapalm since aug but am really still strugging am also seeing a a therapist too but as i say to her its helping but i just can't cope with the day to day life things such as work and house work or house and watching my ol. I am in bed most noghts by 8.30 pm and don't hear jamie it about 3 but dh tells me he is up most nights at 12 too. I can't seem to get on top of anything in the house and i hate being with DH he makes me made he makes me feel gulity for not doing anything but he has depression too and never wants to get out of bed when its bad but am not allowed to do that.

I am due back at the dr this week and i know she will offer to sign me off again but i really wan t o get 3 months back a t work under my belt which would be 23rd of nov.

 

Are these feelings normal for pnd or am i going totally crazy? I total love my little boy but can't stand his dad

I can understand that you feel frustrated at your DH.  My FIL has depression and like your DH when it's bad he is signed off work and can stay in bed but if my PND is bad I still have to look after my 2 boys, clean the house etc.  Your meds should be helping you more than this.  Maybe they need changing or increasing.
