This is a supportive environment for anyone who is experiencing or has experienced pre or postnatal depression to talk. It is a space where those who cannot make the monthly PANDAS Newcastle Support Group, or those who are wanting support between meetings can chat so please help create a supportive environment by being here for each other.

This is a CLOSED group:- which means that no-one but yourself and other group members can see what is posted here unless they are logged into your account. We are are people going through or who have gone through the varying forms of depression linked with having children. Prenatal (antenatal) Postnatal Depression and Post Partum Psychosis. We aim to support Women and their Partners/Carers that may be affected by these illnesses and in turn this will support the children (born or unborn). You are also more than welcome to discuss the associated disorders that accompany these illnesses, such as Health Anxiety, OCD, Intrusive thoughts to name but a few.

We cannot diagnose PND PPP or PPD/AND nor can we give advice on medication except to see your prescriber or GP. We may discuss these but ultimately it will be a personal viewpoint and professional help SHOULD always be sort.

If you don't feel able to post a question with name attached then you can send a private message to any of the admins -and we can post it on your behalf so that you can see the answers/suggestions from other members. We understand that at the start it can be hard opening up to a bunch of strangers- but remember strangers are friends you have not yet met.

Please note one of the admin team may send you a friend request. If you wish to make friends with other users please check that it is okay to do so first.

If you are responding to other posts please do be mindful to be supportive -un-supportive posts will be removed. Members that continue being un-supportive despite warnings from the Admin team may find themselves removed from the group.
If you are ever particularly worried about another member please feel free to “tag” a member of the team for us to take a look.

All that said we are a friendly group and look forward to getting to know you.

It may be difficult to post at the start and not knowing what to say but even a simple post like "I am feeling really low today" will generally get a response from one of us.

You really are not alone.
