Question

Anyone else ever deal with postpartum? How long did it last? What did you do to cope with it? 
My sons 1 1/2 and I feel like it's just gotten worse over the months. And there's days I wake up and I'm okay. And then things happen like my sons tantrums today and I feel myself falling down again. I just want to break down crying right now. My husbands not very supportive about it either. He just kinda shuts me out when I'm like this. Which makes it worse. I just want this feeling to stop creeping on me. I'm tired of being sad. I'm tired of smoking almost a pack a day because that's all I know how to cope with it. I'm tired of feeling worthless or like I'm not good enough for my son. I'm tired of feeling like they'd be better off without me. I've dealt with depression, anxiety, and ptsd since I was a kid, never took any medicine for it. And it just seems to be getting worse since I had my son. I want to wake up and be happy for him. I'm tired of my son having to see me like this.

How are you feeling?

@mamadukes, there is definitely natural alternatives as well that can help with postpartum depression if you wanted to try googling that... 
I found some really great open letters to husbands from their postpartum wives online last night... u should check them out.  It's almost eerie how we all seem to be going thru pretty much the same damn thing.

@tammij1313, I've never taken any. 1. Because my mom didn't want me on them when I was kid "didn't feel I needed it" 2. I don't have insurance to get them now. 3. Prescriptions scare me. I watched family members get addicted to antidepressants and I've heard more stories of them not working than anything. 
And it does definitely make you feel worse because it makes you feel even more like you're failing at everything

Tammi J · Answer

@mamadukes, are you taking any antidepressants for your depression?  I'm on my 3rd one now that's failed... I totally understand that hopeless feeling.  You just think you're turning the corner on this thing & 💥 you can't even drag yourself out of bed.  And it's even worse when you're having issues with your SO...

@lovee.n, yea my depression definitely got worse after I had my son. I've dealt with it for a while but it was never this bad

Marissa🥀 · Answer

@solaya28, @tammij1313 and the thing is after I had my son they gave me that paper to see if you have any signs. I didn't. I was fine. It wasn't until he was a month old and things started happening, like when my husband and I decided we wanted to work things out and how confusing that was and emotional. And just things started spiraling down after that and I just felt myself falling deeper. And I was starting to get myself out of it but once again here I am. It's like I can't win with it.

Marissa🥀 · Answer

@tammij1313, it sucks because all you want to do is give your child so much love but you can't. Not because you don't have all this love for them but because you're so deep in sadness sometimes you don't know how to express it. Is your family at least supportive with it? Mine just seems to blame me for it and tell me I do it to myself and it's an excuse. As if I like feeling like this. Their comments just make it worse because that's when I feel like I'm not good enough or like I'm not trying hard enough for them.

@mom.life_usa, thank you, I messaged her! Just waiting for a response

@solaya28, trying to fall in love with life. I want to for my son more than myself. He's my world and all I want to do is give him the love he deserves. Just hard when you feel like you're not good enough for anyone, you know? My husband just shuts me out and starts pushing away and will argue with me because I didn't do one thing when I did 10 other things that doesn't seem to matter. And then I fall more down. I hate it.

Hi love I was kind of like you when I was a kid and after pregnancy it was worst for almost like 4 years she is know 5...... besides that I got back problems and migraines which make worst the situation........ I started going to a psicologist it didn't help that much.. I'm 25 now and I think maybe age helps.... I do not feel as I used to before,my husband start being more supported about it so that helped me too..... and idk but I started. Thinking about doing projects even I feel really tired and exhausted..... teaching my daughter, cooking was one of the things that helped me a lot, now I consider myself a great cooker..... and Netflix I started watching series and falling in love with life.... 😊 that it's my experience

igonin and out of postpartum i was deressed before pregnancy but now it feels like its worse

Ashley · Answer

Yeah no judgement here lol I smoked before my son it just made my anxiety worse

Marissa🥀 · Answer

@mommysbabies, lol I had a feeling, but you can never be too sure. Its a controversial topic. But it's still an herb in a way 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 And yea I've heard of stuff like that too, like teas and oils right?

Ashley · Answer

Not the kind of herb I was referring too lol but like chamomile and stuff like that Lolo was wondering if I should have been more specific

Marissa🥀 · Answer

@mommysbabies, thank you I'll check it out. And yea I started smoking pot before I was pregnant which helped but I kinda over indulged then. Now I do it on occasions when my sons asleep. But it's expensive and hard to get a prescription where I am. And I need to figure out something to keep me out of it while he's awake. Not that smoke a lot where  I couldn't take care of him, but I don't like being around him like that afterwards

Ashley · Answer

Have you tried looking into natural ways to  help I know exercise is one but there are also herbs too that can help too I get not wanting to take anything also if you look on @mom.life_usa, page there is a group of people who come together and talk that are also going through similar feelings it may help to know your not alone and to have a support group
