Hopefully, by allowing you to share some of the comments that other P.N.D sufferers have made about their illness you will feel less isolated, and realize that there are many women out there just like you!

"It was a long time before I realized what I had was Post Natal Depression. I thought I just wasn’t cut out to be a mother, in charge of this baby who screamed all the time or I felt he screamed all the time. It was really only when I went to the doctor and said I couldn’t cope with this. it was a relief in a way, to know that this thing had a name, and it wasn’t just me."

"I don’t like me anymore, I always seem to be worried, I used to be so capable, now I just sit and cry all the time."

"I keep having these weird thoughts, they seem so silly yet I can’t turn them off."

"When I had Post natal depression I couldn’t explain it to anyone, how I really felt. I even thought I had brought it all on myself."
