Hi my baby is now 3 weeks old and from the third day I was home my anxiety and panic attacks started terribly! I have now been on Paroxetine 20mg for nearly three weeks now which seems to be easing my anxiety symptoms however I am suffering postnatal depression and finding it quite hard to bond with my baby which is awful and I have found myself sitting there wishing I'd never gotten pregnant! I worry about being on my own with him! Will these feelings subside? I would be grateful to anybody who is suffering or has suffered the same! Is there light at the end on the tunnel? Because at the moment I am a different person and don't like doing all the old things I used to like socialising etc! I just want to be back to my old self and enjoy being a mum! I would be grateful to hear from anybody who knows what i am going through! Thank you x

as for that rush of love for your baby, you can still really love your baby without experiencing it. I did and you may experience it as I did when you least expect it when you baby or child achieves something that makes you so proud it was worth the wait. My rush of love for my son was on his 21st when he graduated in the RAF
i wish you well but try and remain positive you will come through this and you will love your baby very much.
