re: Post Partum Depression (PPD)

Quoting brittaney bluegrass.:“ okay, ill go down to dshs as soon as this snow stops. i cant even leave my house. it sucks. hopefully ill go tomorrow.”

we had snow monday, but after that it all melted!

Quoting adelaidemum:“ you can talk to me anytime i ahve been exactly where you are and i can tell you i wake up everyday now happy i never would have thought that was even possible before .”

i hope that i can feel like that soon.

Quoting Jenna Leigh:“ You guys should do what I do, take vicoden or lortab with a glass of wine or more each night. It helps me. Peace”

that is not a good way to deal with ppd Jenna or any kind of problem. I hope you get adequate help soon. I am here for you when you do.

Quoting PrncessConsuelaBananahmmk:“ we had snow monday, but after that it all melted!”

lucky.
it snowed monday, and its still here.
and it just snowed again.
ugh, i hate snow.

Quoting ♥Aly♥:“ Wow..i'm sorry! That must be really tough. Cant you go to a hospital..I know they cant turn you away”

they cant turn you away if its an emergancy.
i woke up completely fine, no emergancy.
bleh.
haha.

DO NOT do this. Seriously. If you have PPD it will only get worse. Alcohol and Painkillers are depressants. That's the last thing you should be putting into your body when you're depressed.

i agree. covering one problem with another doesn't help the situation at all.

Natasha your explantion of your ppd is identical to mine! I'm on 50mg of zoloft. I was anti-meds and all that, but it seems to be the only thing that has helped.

It's hard because I feel like a failure sometimes, because I was depressed after having Maya. I mean what is there to be depressed about y'know? It's hard.

and jenna I hope you get some help. I'm here for you if you ever need to talk!

I feel like a failure too! I should be the happiest I have ever been. Millie has even been sleeping through the night for the past month! I just don't seem to get happy about much. Do you like the zoloft, has it seemed to help a lot and how fast did it help?

Quoting brittaney bluegrass.:“ i hope that i can feel like that soon.”

it took me a long time my mum got brain cancer while i was pregnant with my son and didnt recognise me and was bed ridden by the time he was born and died when he was 6 months later it has almost been a year since her death and i am soooo scared i will get pnd (its called post natel depression in australia) again after this baby is born. i am thinking of asking to see a counsellor at the hosp. so i will be ready for it. i just try my hardest to focus focus focus on the positives which while you are in the middle of pnd seems impossible. i wanted our son soooooooooo badly we waited 4 long years for him and yet when he was born i wasnt happy what the hell was wrong with me????? this disease doesnt make sense and everyone needs some strong support to get through it and i hope you do soon.....

thats how i feel.
why arent i so estatic about my miracle?
its frusterating.

Quoting brittaney bluegrass.:“ thats how i feel. why arent i so estatic about my miracle? its frusterating.”

it is! I feel like I'm faking it a lot. I do get happy, but not as happy as I should be.

It took about a month before I really noticed a difference with the zoloft. I still feel a little low energy, but not as bad before. I think staying home all the time isn't helping. I've started walking and it's helped a little to get out.

being a sahm I think is making it worse. I feel like I have cabin fever.
