Quoting Supafly★:" I lost custody of my son so I had to prove that I was mentally fit to take care of him. "

i hope u got him back! I am so sorry to here that! if you had ppd i bet that made things so much harder for you

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" Well thats good to hear. I'm not really depressed/thinking of suicide, more i get frustrated and mad ... [snip!] ... while she was screaming of shaking her. Plus SO and my dad think i'm "bat smurf crazy" lately. Hopefully it helps with that."

That's pretty common. It's very easy to get frustrated especially if your baby cries a lot and you don't have help. If they said Zoloft will help with that it will.It helped for me.

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" I'm not entirely sure, but i think maybe. "

well GL on combating this! I hope you get lots of reccomendations from other posters

It did, it was awful. It was a very dark time in my life but I'm trying to be open about it to prevent it from happening to other mothers. And yes, he's back with me.

You don't feel connected and/or have feelings of hurting your baby.

Zoloft made me shaky during the first month of use. I didn't like that. I was on the lowest dose. But they eventually up'd my dose due to te fact that it wasn't helping. I was seeing a therapist, and taking it, but it just Didnt do anything for me. It Didnt change my behavior or mood or make me feel better. They shoul have put me on something else but I just lost hope with it.

I eventually was on the highest dose. And still did nothing.   I never felt happy. I had to find a way to feel better on my own because my doctor jut Didnt listen when I told them I wasn't feeling better
