PPD question...

I wasn't sure where exactly to post this.. I haven't been diagnosed with postpartum depression, but I'm pretty positive that's what I've been struggling with. DS is 8 months old. I've been on somewhat of an emotional roller coaster since he's been born. Fleeting highs, with really low lows that seem to go on for a really long time. I've been in this rut I'm in for a while. I'm wondering if it'll ever end. Is it possible for postpartum depression to "go away" without treatment? Probably seems like a stupid question..

im not sure it will without help. however mine went away. then panic attack came. those went away. i am med free now. you should get some help momma it will only get worse.

It's amazing how differently you will feel once u get help

I got put in Wellbutrin for my ppd, and once it kicked in it was like ohhh this is what I'm supposed to feel like

It will get better and there is nothing wrong with needing a little help. Think about what your body just went through, of course your hormones are out of wack

Thank you both! I keep telling myself I can just deal with it & it'll go away eventually. But it hasn't yet. I'll probably end up talking to my doctor about it soon!

u wont believe how much better you will feel once you get help.

And why would you want to "just deal with it".
You deserve to feel normal again, and you won't believe how easy that is

I'm not sure honestly. I guess I just kind of feel defeated. For whatever reason. I guess I just don't like admitting that I do need help. I know there's no shame in it. I just never imagined I'd end up having ppd. I'll convince myself it's just going to go away. But here I am, eight months pp and still can't rise above it. Definitely something I need to talk to my doctor about. I do deserve to feel better, in general.
