RE: can you send some healing vibes please...
Hi Anna,
Sorry to hear of how stressed you are. Becoming a parent does strip you of a lot of independence and it can take quite a while for some new parents to adjust. I remember the days of having to get a shower with baby strapped in bouncer watching me just so I could have one when I wanted to, to feel better in myself.
Sending big hugs, love, support and positivity. Don't be too hard on yourself and hope she settles down soon.

Hi Anna
I remember those times!! It can be fun as well as extremely demanding.
I wish that I had know about Bach Remedy Flowers then!!
If you feel stressed then I am sure that your daughter will pick up on the vibes. The Bach Flowers may help you. See if you can find someone to provide a preparation for you!(PM me if not)
Sending you love and hugs.

[color="#9900ff"]Hi Anna
My daughters are 19 and 12years old. So it was quite a long time since they were babies. How old is your baby? When I had my first daughter I had post natal depression for three months.I found it really really hard. I was very lucky in that I had a lot of support. I dont think I would be here if I had not,as I was extremely, extremely depressed.Once I felt better, I got out as much as possible. Mother and baby groups.I used to go for long walks every day. I found just going out for the walks every day helped.I would go round to my friends house.They would come to me. I would, go to the libary if my daughter fell asleep in her pushchair and sit there,where it is lovely and quiet.I soon learnt when my daughter was asleep. I would also rest or sleep.
You say you haven`t much help and support. Could you chat to your health visitor. Maybe she could help you. It can be hard when there are two parents. But when it is just you.I can fully understand why you find it hard to be patient and positive.
It is very important that you get YOU TIME. More so if you are a single parent.I know that this is easier said than done.But if you can find a way, somehow to do this. It will help you a lot.Also not forgetting to vent your feelings on here at HP.When you are feeling low. I am sure you will get lots of support.As so many mothers feel and felt like you.
Thinking of you
