The past couple of weeks my ppd has been at an all time high and tonight my son refuses to sleep and won't stop crying now I can't stop crying. My mother (who I moved back home with for help with this and other conditions I have) now refuses to give any assistance. Her favorite line is welcome to parenthood. I don't know how to talk to my boyfriend/sons father (who's in another state) without pissing him off and getting him concerned. I'm so scared. I don't know what to do, I feel so alone.

@aveca, thank you for your lovely message. I would always try my hardest for him not to see me cry. I always feel I'm his mom so I need to be brave and strong. But that makes so much sense, I don't want him growing up being the same way. I'll do my best to let him see all parts of me lol. And if you don't mind can I private message you to find out what you take. I need to find a Prozac replacement.
@cam, please find some time to see a doctor. there are so many different meds out there, so even if this one is not for you, there are many others that might be better. good luck, momma!
I'm so sorry you're struggling- I TOTALLY know the feeling, and it's even harder when you're taking care of a crying baby at the same time. Personally, I've gotten over feeling guilty crying in front of my son (I'm not sure if you have/ had the same issue, but I think it's pretty common). Sometimes you just NEED to cry and eat some junk food 😄❤ I think it's good for kids to see a more realistic example, so in a way I think crying in front of our kids is a good thing. Hope that helps, and I take anxiety/ depression meds which helps a LOT! Hang in there 🙂
@frazzledmama, thank you so much. I truly appreciate that
@cam you are obviously a strong woman. I'm sending positive vibes and thoughts your way. you can get through this. we are here for you
@frazzledmama, thank you I'll try to schedule something. I think with everything going on I tell myself I can ignore it and deal with everything else that seems more important but slowly I see I am wrong.
@cam try to make time for seeing a doc, darlin. you can't take care of that baby if you aren't taking care of you. I had PPD with my second child and it was triggered when my husband left for schooling and I was alone. the best thing I did was reach out for help. I got better, and felt better. take care of you, mama. that's the best thing that you can do for you and your son.
@concrete, not since I moved back to New York. My old doctor had me on Prozac but it made me a zombie so I stopped taking it. But now between taking care of my little boy moving and unpacking alone and getting ready to start working it's been hard to actually see someone.
have you talked to your doc about your ppd? @cam
@beebaby not during the week. He has work so he can only really help during the weekends
@concrete, thank you so much! I've called a doctor now just waiting for them to call back and schedule an appointment.
