Living with postnatal depression: ‘I felt terrified of motherhood and had no love for my baby’ | Liz Wise | Independent Editor's choice Blogs
Excerpt:
....was terrified of telling her how I was really feeling as I thought not only would she tell me that I had something far worse than PND but that she would also want to put me in hospital, which was my worst fear.
Instead she became my lifeline, she changed my medication and every time I saw her she would constantly reassure me that I would recover although I never believed her. She explained to me that the reasons I couldn’t feel my love for Emma was due the severity of my depression, my feelings were suppressed and as I started to get better and the depression started to lift, my feelings would come through.
