Is it possible to get postnatal depression after 11 months?? I’m feeling soooo miserble, whats wrong with me?
Ok my twins have turned 11 months today, this has been the best year of my life. I love them very dearly but this last week I have been feeling so down and so miserble but i have no idea why.
I am snapping constantly at my partner, i know i am doing it but yet i still can’t lift my mood.
I’m finding the Twins harder now than when they were first born cause they are constantly on the move and need entertaining! they are fanastic sleepers so it is not tiredness.
I go out to visit people as often as i can and take them to playgroup once a week but i’m even starting to become lazy like i can’t be bothered to go out.
My house is a constant tip and i’m sure my partner thinks i just sit around all day having it easy.
I’ve talked to him and he’s been great, he even took over last night so i could have a bath.
But still this morning i have woken up in the same mood.
Could i be suffering from postnatal depression this late on??? Please help, i’m even crying typing this! what’s wrong with me?? I also turned 30 last week which i found quite difficult and it’s been since then, so could it be that?? although i don’t think it is

You have realized that being a single parent is a lot more work. You are over tired and need a break Simple as that. For more then a year you have not done anything just for you. Ask your partner to mind the kids for 3 days and go find some place to relax. Go home to mom and let her pamper you,. Take some serious time for YOU and recharge your batteries
Post pardon depression would have set in a lot sooner. It sounds like you need a break. Being a full-time mom is a very hard job. I find that spending time without my kids away from home is an essential part of what keeps me sane.
Even if its just a trip to the grocery store or to the library to study it feels refreshing to be away from the kids for a little while and have some peace and quiet. It gets easier as they get older and are able to do more for themselves. Hang in there 
Postpartum depression typically happens earlier, but it CAN happen anytime in the first year of baby’s life. I had it as well, and it didn’t start until my son was 8 months old. Find someone (other than your spouse) that you can talk to about this – even see a counselor if needed. That’s what it took for me
My husband is amazing, but I needed to talk to someone who had been through the same sort of hormonal changes that I had been.
You may also just be in a funk. Make some time for yourself – having that bath was a good start
Good luck!
