PostPartum Depression..

edited June 2011 in Depression
I had my postpartum appt today and was diagnosed postpartum depression... The dr pretty much described exactly how I felt after he listened to me talk for a couple minutes. He prescribed me some anti depression medicine I'm praying helps.. I'm ready to be myself again

    Aww huni I'm right there with ya babes. I'm going through it myself. I had my little man 7 wks ago and I din't think I could feel like I did when I brought him home. I'm doing a bit better today. I'm trying to do this with out taking meds and its realy hard. I'm still trying to get a handle on the depression, im NOT gonna let it win. If you need someone to talk to send me a mesg and ill give ya my number. Even if you just want a texting buddy to vent to...Remember I'm there walking this road right beside your never alone!! Xxoo
  • @caroline8_p @mommy2isaiahngiselle @newflmom2b thank you so much ladies! I'm 7 weeks pp. He was born 4 weeks early and was in the NICU for 3 days.. I'm glad I have a great dr who although awkward was trying to cheer me up and was singing during my pap smear. He was right about alot though... I feel like a failure as a mom sometimes and I can't help but blame myself for him being early and everything. I wanted to breast feed so bad but he couldn't latch on for the first couple weeks and pumping didn't keep my supply up. I have a beautiful son that needs his mommy! I WILL beat this!!
  • Yes you will....You are woman, let me here you ROAR!!!!! I can't hear you......? ;)
  • @newflmom2b ROARR!! Lol. I come from a very strong line of women who don't give up! And im not going to be the first!

  • I went through it with my son 2 years ago and I'm currently going through it right now. I had my baby girl 2 weeks ago. I'm not big on taking medicine for things like this so hopefully it will pass in time. I didn't take anything with my son either. It's not easy though. I hope that it works for you so you can go back to being yourself. :)
  • @kcoolzchic I didn't wanna take medicine but after 7 weeks I felt it getting worse and knew I needed help! I hope yours passes soon!!
  • @Lauren0204Robert Thank you. It didn't last long with my son but if it does go to 7 weeks yes I'll take something. It's just so crazy because I can just be folding clothes and I start to cry for no apparent reason. And then I'm saying in my head fool why are you crying and then I just stop. Lol The things we face for our children :)
  • @kcoolzchic I know what you mean.. My fiance looked at me like I had lost my mind bc I told him to go ahead and go to bed one night and started crying.. I had no clue why!
