this postpartum depression is ruining my life and my marriage life.. is this only on my mind? am I overthinking…

*hugs* the first part is recognizing the problem, so you're on the right track. So many mommies don't realize they're suffering from PPD and just can't drag themselves out of it. You can go to your primary physician or your OB, they will be able to put you on the right path. <3 I'm glad you're seeking help, I know how hard it is to deal with.

@kala_elise, I will coz this is getting out of hands.. my husband and I keep on fighting

@evococa, that's how exactly how I feel but except for the harming my baby and thought of suicde .. I just get really irritated when I couldn't make her stop crying.. and had thoughts of running away..

you really need to go talk to someone! post partum depression is fairly common and there's nothing wrong with asking for help.

I cried nonstop, I pushed away my husband, I would go from normal to one extreme emotion in no time (either super pissed or super sad), I had no motivation to do anything but cuddle my son, and eventually had thoughts of suicide. It got to the point where I wasn't really able to function other than to take care of our son. Thankfully it never effected our bond, but sometimes it can make you feel disconnected with your child and even cause thoughts of doing harm to baby. If you choose to do counseling, I would just stress: do NOT settle. Make sure your counselor is someone you like and feel comfortable with. My mistake was going to a lady who I did not see eye to eye with. You can message me anytime if you have questions or wanna talk <3

@evococa, thank you.. what was symptoms you had back then?

@acimamama, @candice_leann yea I'm planning to talk my doctor about this tuesday..

I had to go to counseling for my post partum. It's definitely a big deal, and it can worsen over time if not treated. Don't feel ashamed, it's totally normal, but definitely mention it to your doctor or you can look up counsellors near you. <3 you can do it momma

a lady I worked with had it and she had to talk with her doctor

its a really big deal. get with your doctor n set a plan to get it dealt with.
