OK...thanks ..I have suffered depression as well and was diagnosed
with post traumatic stress disorder..so I'm just going to pray for the best..I'm older now so this may go really smoothly.

My sister suffered severely with PPD, it was scary. I spent a lot of time listening to her on the phone at 1 in the morning. I would go to her house and help out, let her sleep and reassure her that she was doing great and it would be okay. I don't think it's a one size fits all thing. It depends on what you need. I knew what she needed because she's my sister and has suffered from depression in the past. I think you need to know who your closest supporters are and let them know that you may need them. They'll know what to do.

how does one help someone w PPD??

awhhh thanks I needed that..this is officially my first time because I was young so my mom helped...it was eleven years ago..mentally I'm a lot stronger...

You'll get right back in to the swing of things. You got this and you're going to be great! as far as PPD goes, please make sure that those close to you are aware that it is a risk. Help them understand what the signs are and tell them how they can help. It's so scary doing this all over again, I know. Have no fear, it's in your makeup as a woman to just know what to do.
