re: Post Partum Depression

i can't help but cry because i can't care for him.. i want to enjoy him because i'll never get this time back. sometimes ill want to be with him all the time and will hate for anyone else to want to care for him, and other times i wont wanna deal with him whatsoever. i also hate when my SO leaves to work, thats when i feel most depressed.

If it is PPD they should be able to give you something for it. I would also suggest maybe going to therapy

I'm going through the same thing, although i wasnt on anything before pregnancy, and wasnt depressed before pregnancy. it def is hard and overwelming. im here if you need to talk. i find myself crying and crying for no reason, but i think its just hormones and if you have a disorder on top of hormones its probaly just way more intense.
i would recommend having someone help you when you need a break, my mom has helped soo muchh during these two weeks.
& also stick with the medication, like others say, it takes a bit for it to work.
keep your head high mama!
