| Comment | I don't know anywhere as I'm from the southside of the city, I just wanted to reach out as a mum who suffered with post natal psychosis after my son was born (13 years ago) that it does get better, even if it doesn't feel that way now.
I was actually speaking to my dad yesterday about how all I ever wanted to be was a mum and the joy I'd felt while pregnant was nothing to what I experienced after his birth. I didn't get that "rush of pure love" they all talk about I remember holding my son for the very 1st time and I felt terrified. I feel its never easy for a woman to speak about these feelings and struggles although I'm glad alot more women and men are aware of the struggles now and look out for it to try and help. When I told my gp back all them years that I felt like killing myself as I was certain my baby was evil and when he cried he was literally trying to push me over the edge. She looked at me and said "go home and sleep, that's all you need" in a voice that haunts me to this day.
If you ever need to talk, cry, vent I'm more than happy to help and be a very non judmental and happy listener. Please take care xxx |
