I had my son 2 1/2 years ago and still am
not feeling like myself. I finally got
help from my doc. when my son was 18
months. He put me on an antidepressant,
antianxiety med and something to help me
sleep. I feel a lot better and am
thinking about having another baby but am
way to scared of going through that again.
If your having these feelings please call
your ob and let him/her know. It happens
to a lot of women and it doesn't mean that
your a bad mother (that's what I thought)
Please get help. I really hope you feel
better very soon. It's hard being a new
mother. Take care.

My Doctor put me on a low dose of lithium
with all my kids, right after they were
born and by a week after, I felt all
right, but at first I was a basket case
and crying all the time.

no one can say how long it will last
because everyone is different. I had my
daughter almost ten weeks ago and even
though i feel so much better than i did
i'm still not the old me
