post- natal depression 8 months after birth??

[danniemum2be]

is it possible to get post-natal depression 8 months after giving birth?
the past few weeks ive not been myself at all, i cry most days, im constantky feeling low and down, some days i dont even feel like getting out of bed and wouldnt if it wasnt for maisie. shes the only thing keeping me going at the moment. i feel anxious 24.7 and constantly stressed. i snap at OH constantly which is causing us to be on the verge of breaking up. i just feel lost
does this sound like post natal depression or am i just plain grumpy? x

yes it is possible up until a year after. has anything triggered it off or have you felt down for a while? what is your daily routine? do you have any social support? the bst thing for depression is for you to get out and about and break the cycle. it's easir said than done but you need to find the motivation from somewhere. feeling sad maks youwant to stay in and hide but the more you hide, your houghts get darker and more negative and when that happens you feel even more sad and you stay in and so they cycle repeats itself. use your little girl as your motivation xxxxxxxxxxx
