to you. I have no idea if its PND or just your situation, it's so hard, at least in my mind, to differentiate. Y'all have been through a lot, I imagine it is stress and hormones. I can totally relate to a lot of your feelings, especially the not wanting to leave lo.

Wow, you've been through so much. I'm not at all surprised you're affected by what's happened to you.
Again, I don't know if it's PND or not, but whatever it is I really think it would help you to talk to your GP or HV. They will know.
Have you told your OH about how you feel that he's out so often? That would really upset me too, I think it's pretty unreasonable of him to think it's ok to be out all the time, especially if you are struggling for money. Be careful how you word it though if you've been arguing a lot lately.
I don't think your feelings are as hard to understand a you might think. I remember when Frankie was a few months old, I sometimes used to feel sort of empty. Not desperately unhappy or anything but I was very worried about why I want ecstatic as being a wife and mother was literally all I had ever wanted but I sometimes felt a little unfulfilled. I hated feeling that way but it turned out to be just a phase, it only lasted a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will be the same for you xx
PS I think all mothers worry that they are not good enough. And EVERYBODY worries about leaving their baby xx

The majority of what you say sounds like its your situation not pnd. I have spent the last few months doing 90% of the childcare and oh being out working/studying/socialising and i sat at home wondering what my life had become. i think you need to talk to your oh. as people have said going out every night is unreasonable. Maybe tell him that you need some time to yourself.
