Please read. This is such a great article. I did not suffer with PPD with my first but boy am I now! Losing my brother 2 days before baby, my 2 year old having severe adjustment issues, a pyscho ex, a distant and deploying spouse, and birth all teamed together made it almost impossible not for it to come on and come on strong but reading this helps! http://www.upworthy.com/this-womans-emotional-postpartum-depression-story-is-actually-incredibly-com

I feel the same way momma. Each day I have random panic attacks out of the blue, they make me feel so exhausted.

@jennifer820, I feel like I constantly NEEED to be holding the baby to protect him but then I desperately miss my 2 year old being my baby.

Really? My fears just come like at random. I can be fine then I feel like paranoid like Ima die or something n my extremities begin to go dumb. N it's like randomly 3 to 4 times a day. N when I look at my baby I just want to cry so hard.. I feel like out of control n weak.

It's crazy how it can be so different for everyone. Some people cry all the time. I haven't cried at all. i dont regret or resent my baby. You hear so many stories like that. I didn't even realize I had post partum because I didn't feel those ways. I wish more people would share their PPD struggles to normalize it

I no I didn't think I had it either I thought something was this wrong with me entirely because I just felt so scared and I know that depression they say that most of the time people just feel like they resent their childrenor scared that they're going to hurt them but I don't feel that. @showersoverflowers have you gone to the doctor for her yet?

see and that's the stereotype I thought was PPD too. i didnt feel that way at all.. just lifeless and numb or angry...mostly at my husband. I emailed my doc and set up an appointment to go to counseling. All antidpressants are passed on through breastmilk so I'm trying that route first @jennifer820

I know I'm setting an apt for counseling too so far I'm just drinking chamomile n it helps some. Def want to stay clear of any pills unless absolutely necessary. My cousin was prescribed them n she said it's a hit or miss, and wouldn't recommend it. @showersoverflowers
