How do I know if I have post natal depression? I have been crying daily during the 16wks of my maternity leave when I was taking care of my lo alone.. My husband doesn't seems to understand my emotion and ask me to stop crying instead of being concern why I am feelin so stressed up and upset when he is already trying to help me with the baby. He helps out alot with the baby and I appreciate that, but deep down I'm feeling upset that he isn't concern about my emotional feeling and struggle with all the mother duties. And now that I'm back to work for about 3 months I still do tear often managing the responsibility as a mother and I often feel that I am not doing well enough. I get anxiety attack when disruptive event happens and will feel out of breath. I am really scared.. so sorry for the long post..

Hi dear, you are not alone. During my confinement period, I was feeling very down & lousy because of many reasons. I had low supply of BM, I am always hungry, I had issues with my MIL. I kept kept crying in the toilet. Men will never undertand. Same here, I talked to my husband about it but he couldn't understand. He kept asking me to rest more, relax. But thats not what I wanted from him. I needed more support from him. I kept talking/venting out to my girl friends & on this app itself. Go for a walk, take a breather if you can. Don't be afraid to seek medicial help.
