Might be a thought to talk with your Doctor about this, It's relatively common, but many folk find it worsens without help.

Cheers, Midori

My sister had it. Some people don't realize having a baby can be a traumatic thing. Go easy on yourself and let other people handle the baby sometimes.,💖

Hey! Thanks for your comment but unfortunately I don't have any support where I live as I'm really new to the area but hoping to join some mum and baby groups soon x

Your situation is not funny and I mean you no disrespect, but I incorrectly read your post as "postnasal depression". I thought...I have that!! Just had to share that bit of laughter. Be strong and be well! You got this!!

PLEASE understand Post Partum Depression is a real illness. Caused by hormone imbalance, questions of accomplishment, depression is crippling. In my personal case became VERY SEVERE! help was requested and basically ignored. This was 30+ yrs ago. Mine ended up in psychosis and ultimately treated with tranquilizers and anti-depressives to no avail. I ended up having to undergo Electro Convulsive Therapy... (ECT). Since post partum depression I have undergone major depression since. Good periods and some very dark as well. Repeated medications did not help and once again ECT saved me. All related to original onset of post partum and chemical imbalances. My suggestion, please get some professional help or at least contact a support group, available nationally. Don't ignore or believe this is "just the baby blues" Too many doctors label it as such. I have a life long friend in New York that runs a Post Partum Resource Center. Please check them out. Sonja Murdock is the originator. If you contact her, mention my name Lea Cook postpartumny.org/ Also there is the Post Partum Support International Organization postpartum.net/ Please look out for you. If it goes untreated and undiagnosed it can become serious.
