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..

Does sounds like symptoms of pnd to me. It's difficult for your hubby to understand your feelings since he's not experiencing it himself. If you can find a psychiatrist or counsellor, why not bring your hubby along to a session? It will help him understand better what you're going through. Hope you will get through this soon.
