This is a touchy subject I’m sure, but has anyone here struggled with PPD?
@jadelyn_bates your never alone it takes a strong person to admit when they need help. And being a mom is hard and changes the way you look at everything even yourself I'm always here if you want to talk 💖💖
@ironbutterfly, it’s so scary to admit the way I feel, and think. Because I’m so afraid that no other mom would feel that way. I feel so alone sometimes
@cajuncateral, I am also it just seems to get worse. I just made an appointment with my doctor to see if he can help me
@vvrobinson, I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
I've suffered from anxiety and depression all my life pretty much and after my 2nd i went through ppd pretty bad I couldn't even look at my self in the mirror I went through therapy and took meds and got better my msg to anyone suffering from it you are not alone and if you need to talk I'm always here 💖
No but ive had close contact with it. My mom had it with me first, she delivered me then handed me off to my grandma. I was raised in ukraine until i was 6. My sister was born when i was 9 and she had ppd again. She gave up my sister for 6 months of her life. My grandma taught me to change her and feed her. My mom just went out with my dad or kept herself locked in the basement painting
I did, it was the worst the first 3 weeks after i had my baby but I've taken meds for depression and anxiety for years
@jadelyn_bates im not. Seeing her suffer helped me know what to look for with my kids. I knew i had a higher chance of it and i REFUSED to let it get to me. Both times since my kids were born i had this euphoric happy feeling. But i was worried I wouldnt have that, my husband has a signed letter allowing him to hospitalize me if im a danger to myself and the girls because theyre the number 1 priority. I have a psychologist ive been seeing for the last 4 years to help my anxiety and the family abuse ive been through so I use her if I have any sad feelings while being a new mommy as well. If you have a chance check if your insurance covers it and it could be an amazing tool for you too. I am a different person because I know how to check myself and my emotions
