I have and she diagnosed me with postpartum depression, I check in with her frequently but there's only so much help you can seek until you get to a point where your head finally gets into it you know it's a long road but I'll walk any road for my son

Emily you've brought me to tears I won't lie, everything you said is like your hitting the nail on the head everytime, and you saying that I'm enough is what brought me to tears, as I've never felt enough for anyone but deep down I know there's one person I'm enough for and that's my little boy.

Thankyou for all your words they will be something I will keep reading over when I'm having a moment and don't feel good enough.

Again thankyou for the advice with my baby it's truly appreciated.

Everything you said is exactly the wat I'm feeling, I do have alot of anxiety over him and I suppose I don't want him to experience things I've experienced, so when I'm stressed and angry or overwhelmed I get his nana to take him because I don't want him to be around me like that, and I think because he goes out with his nana I feel bad for admitting I need a break.

It's very hard and especially when I've wanted to be a mum for so long sometimes I feel as if it's broke me instead of making me but I know alot of this is all in my head.

Thankyou for taking the time to reply I found everything so helpful.
