Will things pass on there own
I am 16 weeks postpartum. In the last couple of week I have been feeling very emotional. I have been crying daily and feel really down. My partner and I have been arguing everyday. He is not always the most understanding but I think he is starting to see how much I am struggling.
I am considering talking to my Gp but I am unsure on what they can really offer. I have done talking therapy before and I found that it hasn’t really worked. I also currently do not want to take medication. Do you think these feelings will go away naturally? Especially if my partner supports more.

I’m really sorry you are experiencing this. I went through this and it does get better. There are a particular treatment ( psilocybin) that was very helpful for me- so much so that I recently started supporting a clinical trial. I’m happy to share more if you want to DM me
I am 9months PP and whilst I still have good and bad days by 6 months were definitely less but everyone heals differently. My little ones bad sleeping was a big contributing factor and I'd get up dreading how the day was going to turn out. It helped by talking to friends as I just couldn't sit there and pretend I was ok. I don't want to go on medication. Just try and get into a routine and get support around you. Hope you feel better soon x

I felt really down around that time too. Crying daily and just couldn't deal with the change. But it does get better! Now, 5 months pp i feel so much better, my partner is super supportive and sometimes all you need is a hug. For me it also helps that by now the little one gives something back, the smiles and giggles really make the day
