PPD

Hi Ladies

I have been trying to understand this SICK issue called PPD. A co worker of mine recently had a baby Oct 11th and Nov 28th she committed suicide at home while her husband, best friend, mom and baby was there. Ever since this happened I have been trying to understand WHY. We do work for a stressful company, and she wasn't the type to take a lot of stress. I say this because she quit another job in a department to go to a different one I guess hoping things would get better. Anyway, stories have surfaced that she shot herself in the head and before all of this she was saying things like she wasn't a good mother to her daughter and she deserved better etc. I am not sure if she went to the doctor, but I just dont see why a person would commit suicide. Her daughter was only 6 weeks old, precious little blonde hair, blue eyed girl. She will forever miss her mother. Has anyone experiened PPD or knew anyone who had it?

Does it really get that BAD? I had it, but I didn't have it that BAD

it REALLY gets that bad. some women have thoughts of suicide, others may have thoughts or hear voices telling them to kill themselves or their children.

It might have been PPD but could also have been PPP which is much, much worse.

PPD Is a very serious thing. I never had it but it can be tragic. Some women dont only kill them selves they kill their children too!

Quoting Jude the Super Kinkster:" It might have been PPD but could also have been PPP which is much, much worse."

yes, post partum psychosis

Mine got super bad before I went to the doctor. I couldn't leave the house without thinking everyone was lookong at me and judging me.. Something like that can make you not want to live. I didn't get help until I woke up one morning and could nolonger take care of my son. I just sat there and stared at him and cried. It does get THAT bad. Sad no one helped her.

it can get very bad... I was suicidal after I had my daughter, I know I didn't want to hurt her, but I didn't want to hear her face, I didn't want to take care of her, I felt like she was doing things like crying and screaming on purpose... to make me look/feel bad, I was mad and hurt that my husband was better with her than I was,

Its the worst feeling in the world, I even relapsed back into drugs and drinking to help me cope, it put me in better mood but didn't change my feelings... I wanted my husband to leave me and take her because they both didn't deserve the way I was, the person I had become...

Eventually when jade was bout 2 months I couldn't take it she was screaming and screaming, I was screaming, I called my mom who called my god mother they came got the kids and my husband took me to dr. they saw me right away gave me meds, within a week I felt soooo much better, I was on meds for depression and anxiey, we got jades formula changed and she calmed down with the colic...

Just because some1 has it less serious than others dosnt mean its not real, Jades almost 3 and I love her to death, I'm so greatful I got help, but some women don't get it,

I have been struggling with PPD since my 2nd was born. I got really bad to the point of trying to take my own life. I started cutting (which is something I never did in my entire life) I stopped eating, I stopped taking care of myself and my children. It was so bad that my husband had to take a month off of work to stay home and take care of the kids and me. I had no desire to do anything. All my thoughts were consumed with taking my life. I am now on medications and seeing a therapist a few times a week. I am slowly getting better. I still have those thoughts of suicide at times but things are improving. Its sad no one got her the help she needed. I am thankful everyday that my husband fought for me. Even though I got mad at him for it.

I had PPP and attempted suicide. It is that bad.

I feel so bad for her I'm sure she felt so alone.

Thanks, I almost didn't. And the aftermath and getting over it was so bad, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

i just couldnt imagine. having PPD was scary enough for me

Quoting HotMom21ERF:" i just couldnt imagine. having PPD was scary enough for me"

It's super scary because it's like being a totally different person. An evil person. Thank goodness I didn't have any depression at all after my second otherwise I would have gotten my tubes tied ASAP.
