I'm a bit worried about my vetting tomorrow, but will tell the whole story underneath.
Following the birth of my daughter in 2008, I suffered PND which was diagnosed when she was 1month old but wasn't treated, I moved away the same year and struggled abit as my husband wasn't really helping me with the baby so I saw a CPN who said I was suffering with exhaustion, after a while I got back on track and was fine until I lost 3 family members and suffered a miscarriage (within 3 months), my hubby was sent away for 3 months and I was struggling to cope with everything that had happened, and went completely depressed, was referred back to the CPN who after seeing for a few weeks said I was much better and he could sign me off, my daughter wasn't a very good sleeper and I was surviving on 2 hours sleep which made me miserable, as I had no help from friends/family, living in a foreign country and barely knew anyone, spoke to the hv who asked if she could get social services to contact me, so I agreed. Social services came out to see if they could help me in any way, but she said I was coping fine, and they wouldn't need to see me again or help me in anyway (that was the end of last year). I've been fine since, have lots of new friends, my daughter gioes to bed at 7:30pm and gets up at 7am so I'm sleeping better and genuinely loving my life now, what I am worried about is how will this affect my childminding application and checks?
