I've felt quite alone about this issue. I've had a right trashing on many boob nazi websites when all I was hoping for was some advice or support. I felt such a failure that I even contemplated that I was SUCH a shit mother for not being able to breastfeed that it would be better if I was dead. That's how far I got into PND. Thankfully I was not in that place for long. As soon as I used formula and we were both happy (me not in blinding agony and her getting the food she was starving for), I started to enjoy being a mother. Now, when I see what I bring to her life, I am more ashamed I let it get to me so badly I could have denied her a mother. As I have said before it is amazing how being rational can leave you when you are desperate.
The thing that is most hurtful is the lack of sisterhood. The lack of support between women and the level of judging. It is soul destroying.
