wishing i could go back and change my postpartum depression?

posted 15th Apr '12
I was watching all of bethys old baby videos, and just couldnt stop crying, I was such a terrible mother i feel. When i went through post partum depression when she was newborn, how could i have distance myself so much from a child that beautiful, like iw as there, but i wasnt happy? i hate myself for not being so happy and enjoying time when she was smaller. I was a bad mom. I couldnt connect with her or anything because of how miserable i was thanks to depression. I just feel like i missed out on so much happiness with her. Instead of being so upset and angry all the time....i just feel terrible..

I feel the same exact way as you. She's almost 3 now. But the first year of her life, I hated her. I hated myself. And just didn't want to be around her. I wish I could change it all

I understand how you feel, but you can't change it. When my daughter was 2 months old I got hit hard with PPD. I still have my days, and they make me feel like the worst piece of smurf mother ever. Am I? Nope. I'm a damn good mother and I bet you are too.

You shouldn't allow yourself to feel bad about something that is so out of your control. I'm sure every women that has suffered from PPD(including myself) would have felt differently if they could help it.

I completely understand where you're coming from...
I still cry sometimes looking at my daughter and thinking "how could I not have loved her" , I just thank God that I got help immediately and was able to connect with her fairly soon after my first symptoms of PPD started.
And just remember she doesn't and won't remember it!
