I've had post traumatic stress disorder for years. With therapy and medication I finally got it under control, and I've even been med free for over a year. I was so proud of myself because I used to not be able to leave the house or be touched by anyone. But now since I've given birth my anxiety attacks are back like they used to be (if not worse) and no one wants to take me seriously. I told my therapist and she said "it's just the hormones it will pass give it time"...like okay I'm laying balled up in my bed for long hours at a time crying. I keep thinking about killing myself, I don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to eat. I'm losing my mind and I'm just supposed to wait? I feel so alone

@adaraa126, thank you. I'm going to try my best
@teinmama510, thank you so much for the support. I'm going to look for someone else...I'm so sorry you're struggling too your girls are beautiful, you did a great job!
good..and it is her job to listen and to help. Just remember to breathe and try to stay calm..its gonna be ok.
I'm going through postpartum depression myself. I've been in excruciating pain since the birth of my girls. There's only one way I can nurse them without crying. I can't hold them up to burp them. Basically they cannot touch my entire abdomen. It breaks my heart bc all I want to do is hold them. And I can't. I started taking Lexapro just three days ago and I already feel some changes. Please find another doctor. Depression in general is just so scary. You're not alone. You can tall to me if you need to talk to someone. Just know that it will get better. It may take time but just look at that beautiful angel you and your man made. She needs you. She loves you so much. Stay strong babe. We're all here for you, but you really need a new dr that will listen to you.
@adaraa126, it's making me worry even more that I'm only 3 weeks and a day pp, it's gotten significantly worse every week. I'm going to go to my doctor this coming week and talk to her
you arent alone..women go through it everyday. Post partum depression is very common and you need to be pushing your dr to help you..it is a very serious matter
@adaraa126, thank you...no one really talks about what happens after birth and I wasn't prepared at all. I feel like I'm losing my mind
if you are having suicidal thoughts then you should definitely be getting help from your dr..and if she wont listen then find someone who will. thats not right..and i hope this gets better for you soon.
@babes101116, definitely going to
