Postpartum depression

i suffered really bad from PPD after the birth of my second son. i didnt even know i had it because i wasnt aware of the symptoms i thought PPD was when you didnt bond with your new baby and i was bonding fine with him all that was happening with me was i was feeling very stressed out and very angry at my family and friends i felt like nobody cared about me. i ended up worrying alot about my health and was finding myself at the doctors almost everyday thinking i was going to die of a terrible illness. it all sounds a bit crazy when i look back now but it was very real to me at the time and was not a very nice thing to go through. i finaly acknolaged something was wrong and asked my health care provider for help my doctor put me on a low dose of antidepressants and i came off them by myself when i started to feel better. i just tried to keep thinking positve i knew it would be the only was to beat it in the end. i think antidepressants just mask the problem you have to get yourself better by thinking in a more positve way.

Yes, pretty badly in my case too. If you can get counseling. It helps. Also I was on the phone talking to some people that have heard a lot and can help by just being there sometimes. Parents Anonymous 1-800-421-0353

Nope never happned to me or anyone I know, thanks god... I hope it'll never happen.

I sure did, I had went and seek medial addition due to it. They had put me on meds but I really didn't take them. I think the talking and having that small break really made a difference. I by far feel so much better. Best wishes Stacy
