Post partum depression is no joke guys... I have no motivation to do anything, I'm late to work most days now because I just can't get out of bed, I cry all the time, I can't sleep, I feel like no one loves me not even my son, I get pissed off easy and that has never been like me. I'm usually a laid back person but I snap at the dumbest things now. I've been hiding it for so long.. my son almost 3 months old and I've been struggling. I would NEVER harm my child bit I feel like I can't give him what he needs. I finally told my husband today and I'm going for an appointment on Tuesday to get help. I'm so miserable...
I hope you feel better soon girl! it is so hard, I've been struggling as well. just remember that depression is a liar. it tells you aren't loved, that you aren't enough, that you're not needed or wanted. that is not true in the slightest! your child and your SO love and need you more than anything. be sure to take care of yourself so you can be the best momma you can be.
I'm not trying to be funny or rude, but I had ppd BAD & my bestfriend convinced me to hit a blunt before we went to dinner (that we planned to try & help me come out of my depression) , i dont smoke & very RARELY drink , but i hit it once & it was like a breathe of fresh air.. it wasn't enough to get silly high, hell I didn't even feel silly... but it gave me a lil kick & allowed me to relax & remember everything is okay. I didn't want to take meds or go to therapy. I'm okay now & back to my old self.
thanks guys @foreverjalisa I hope you feel better too girls @chasingjaedyn_est0916 @katarama
