Postnatal depression one year on? Is it possible? I have been very anxious of late! I have been crying for no good reason, I have been a bad mother (not playing with kids ect...) I just want to sleep and be alone! I have two children 2 and 1... A hubby and I work! I'm exhausted! I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything! I'm feeling sorry for myself and my children! I just don't know what the fuck I'm doing anymore

Go to the doctor. Wether it's classed as post natal depression or not depression can hit anyone at anytime for no real reason. Head off to your GP as soon as possible
Yes, PND can be diagnosed up until the youngest child is about 4. However (IMO) depression is depression and it really doesn't matter what's triggered it - what matters now is getting help for it ASAP. See your doctor, explain how you're feeling and go from there. Much luck and love IM - you can get through this xxx
