How long after having a child can you be diagnosed with post natal depression. I have a 2yo and I struggled really bad with depression after she was born, I never really sort help for it but thought I was on top of it. Slowly and slowly I feel it's creeping back, I love my daughter so much but I just get so angry and frustrated at her. Her crying annoys me and I over react to normal toddler behaviours, I just feel I don't get joy from her or anything in life at the moment. I don't know what to do or where to go. I'm a single mum and studying at the moment so I literally never get a break. I obviously am not in a position where I'm going to hurt myself or my daughter and never would I just want to start enjoying life again.

Def go and speak to your GP! Have some self care! We all feel like that at times about our children but if your feeling really down etc take care of you! Happy mum happy bub! Xx
