Hi everyone, as you can tell from my inventive title I'm new to this site. My partner suffers with severe anxiety and depression which has spun more out of control since the birth of our daughter. (Now 8 months) I was really hoping someone might be going/ have gone through a similar experience....
He has just managed to go back to work after 4 months when he had a break down, so I found myself caring for both him and a baby. (In turn I've now joined the mental health party with PND) due to his past he openly admits that he'll always put himself first so I know it's not intentional but it's really tough sometimes always coming last in the house pecking order. Despite my own mental health difficulties I have to keep going for the sake of our daughter and partner. I'm not meaning to sound like a martyr and this is probably a really scrambled account but I have to hold my emotions in all the time so now I have word vomit. I feel like he has the support of his counsellor and therapist and me whilst I'm just floundering. does anyone else ever feel like this or am I being really mean?
Thank you if you've made it to the end of my moan.
