PPD / PPR? symptoms, help, treatment?

I’m not in the UK but try throwing ice cubes in the bathtub to release anger . It helps me so much . I’m 18 month PP & still get fits of PPR , throwing ice is the only thing that helps & makes sense . No mess since the ice melts in the bathtub & nobody gets hurt or nothing gets broken . As for the PPD I had to start journaling or just scheduling cry sessions . Finding a hobby that you like helps . I found peace in taking my LO for walks in her stroller . You cannot keep everything bottled up , if a therapist or medication is what you need , do not be scared or hesitant . Your LO needs a happy & healthy mommy . I hope these help 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’m currently 9 months PP and since my little one was born I was having fits of rage and within 5-10 minutes thinking what have I just done why was I so angry not understanding what was happening. At the start I put it down to the hormones and just giving birth everything is all over the place but after a while it continued I knew something wasn’t right and it just wasn’t me. I ended up being diagnosed with severe postpartum anxiety and am now on medication and feel 100% better. I’m in Australia for reference not sure if diagnosis could be different elsewhere.

I have ppd but im scared to go on medication

I had ppd/ppa with both my boys. Still have it now 18 weeks pp. I already had pre-existing mental health issues but pp just really triggered making it worse. My medication was reviewed and put up and I do feel better.

It would depend on how pp you are because if your only 2 weeks they will call it baby blues. Giving your longer pp, they will probably look into some sort of short term (maybe even long term medication). They may discuss counselling. It all really depends on the answers to questions they have. If your comfortable feel free to inbox me and I’ll happily chat with you and help as best I can 💙
