with your pre-disposition to darker days of depression, are you worried about how this might affect you post-natally?
A fair question. I know that it is going to be a significant risk, but I feel perhaps better prepared (or at least more aware) in that I will know what it is when and if it hits and I won’t have to work to the same extent through some of the compounding feelings — of maternal failure, for example — that typically accompany PND.
The fact I am also someone who responds well to medication and is content to be medicated also gives me confidence that I will be able to withstand what might be coming.
