Scared I May Have Ppd-don't Know What to Do Posted: 06-30-06 11:09am
I am not sure what to do. It is almost 5
mos after I gave birth and I just feel
like I keep feeling more and more
inadequate. I think everyone thinks I am
a bad mother and I feel like they are
trying to take my baby away from me. I am
afraid my baby doesn't love me. I am sad
all the time, and I feel like I am
worthless. Does this sound like ppd, or
just like me being emotional??

There is a real possibility that this is
clinical and you need to see your doctor
to see what they think. It in no way
makes you a bad mom, in fact just the
opposite it true. You are being a good
mom because you are concerned about your
feelings and the feelings your baby is
feeling.
Don't waste time worrying, you know what
the right thing to do is and now you just
have to do it.
Good luck and I hope you start feeling
better soon,
brian

've heard that ppd can strike anywhere up
to 18 months after birth. It can come
and go. I had that prob. I had it
really bad a first, got better then got it
again. I would really go see a doctor
and get some help. Don;t be embarassed
to talk about it as it is completely
normal.
Hey brian!!! How u doing? How's jr??

I am doing pretty good, busy, busy busy.
:)
baby brian is doing well too. He is
teething and man it is horrible for that
little bugger. I feel terrible for him
because you can tell he is miserable and
in pain and he does not understand why he
is in pain.
Tylenol and orajel are about the only
things that help right now. We also try
to give him between 1/4 and 1/2 of a
pedialyte popscicle daily. They ar really
tasty and he loves them, since they are
good for him anyway, cooling his gums off
is really the thing other than medicine
that calms him down right now. It looks
like he is going to get 4 in at one time,
2 front in both top/bottom.
Thanks for the note and hope all is going
great for you guys,
brian

((hugs)) for you!
You should go to see your doctor. If you
don't feel like you can go alone, have
someone go with you. Explain what you are
feeling and he can help you ;)
good luck! Those feelings end eventually
- but don't try to ride them out alone.
Get some help, ok?
