I'll tell you Suzy, I have suffered my whole life with depression, and its never been as bad as it was after my oldest son was born. There is NO shame in needing some medication especially if it makes all the difference in the world in how you enjoy your life. It's probably just something you would need for a little while anyway by the sounds of it. Depression hurts, and it sucks, don't be ashamed to get the help you need. You'll be so happy that you did, trust me I know. Anything you wanna know, or ask, I'll answer anytime.

thats what PPD does to you.

no matter how hard you try to fix it Suzy its not going to get better til u take something for it.. PPD goes away on its own after a little while, but in the meantime u need something to help u function until ur body rights itself.

Theres no shame in taking medicine for it. I did it.. And u know how strong of a person i am.

I felt that way after macy and just delt with it. With Liam I knew i didnt wanna go thru that again so I didnt leave the hospital without a prescription for stuff. trust me it makes a world of difference when they find the one that works for you. It helps to have ppl to talk to that truely care. my aim is connected to my phone so i can always talk. (altho i might bill ya if u wake me up lol)

Sorry you feel that way. I sorta had it for about a month after Ava, but it went away on it's own. Believe it or not my dr. talked me out of medicine. He said that if I still had it in 6 weeks to let him know b/c it should go away. Thankfully it did.

It's a biochemical/physical problem, it has nothing to do with your life circumstances. You could win the lottery tomorrow and still feel this way. Your brain isn't getting enough of a neurotransmitter, which is a chemical manufactured by your body. It's sort of like a diabetic who is sick because his pancreas doesn't make enough insulin. That person needs medicine to compensate for the missing insulin, just as a person suffering from depression needs medication to compensate for the inadequate neurotransmitter.

Sleep deprivation has been linked to triggering post partum depression. Maybe you could ask your doctor about this, and maybe if he/she can help you restore your sleep pattern, the depression may resolve itself.

These people are giving you good advice. I hope you take them up on it. Please pm me or any of these other friends of yours if you want to. Smile

Suzy you should be enjoying this incredible time in your life but because of circumstances beyond your control you can't.....but it is fixable. Please see your doctor and get something for it so you can continue to be a great mom to Kristen but actually enjoy every minute of it!!

Aww Suzy, I hope it goes well hun. I know how it feels I had, still have a touch of PND but I had things going on around me that affected my moods towards life and Paige but when they changed I picked up, spoke to my health visitor for a few weeks and I feel a bit better now. Hope everythings ok. Did you get my crimbo card and prezzies?
