PPD??

Sweetie I’m in the same situation you are. Text me whenever you want.

Have you talked with your Dr or a psychiatrist about this? I was diagnosed with PPD and PPA and as put on Sertraline. I’m not saying you should go on an antidepressant, only you and your Dr can make that decision. Just to be open to talking to someone and having medication be a possibility. ♥️

I also was diagnosed with ppd and started speaking with a therapist, but I was also experiencing the depression prior to birth, but now it’s stronger. Speaking with my therapist has helped a lot and I’ve only done a couple sessions. It feels good to be heard and less lonely. Feel free to reach out <3

PPD is definitely a thing a lot of us moms go through. Talk with your doctor about meds if you're open to that and start therapy. It helped me tremendously.

Oh honey I’m sorry… I still struggle with depression and my son is two and a half. It’s pretty debilitating. I refused meds until recently and then I finally caved in. I feel much better now that I agreed to take them. I still have rough days. Don’t give up girl… this too shall pass. You’re never alone even though you feel sooooo lonely. ((Hugs))

I wasn’t prepared for that feeling at all but I was prescribed some medication and I took it and it really did help and I was eventually able to stop the medicine! Therapy or a good friend to lean on helps too!

If you need to talk? Please feel free to message me 🖤 I was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and panic disorder (PPAPD) at five months postpartum. My son is 16 months old now. I’m doing a lot better one medication and with therapy, but it’s been a long road, and I still second guess myself sometimes. I know that “empty” feeling all too well. I have always loved my son more than life itself but there were times when I would look at him and just be so filled with doubt and fear that those emotions took over and I felt nothing else. I was always so scared it would get in the way of me bonding with him, or that the emerging mental illness was going to cause me to stop caring about my baby all together. This lead to the worst cyclical thoughts and OCD tendencies I have ever experienced. It’s such a lonely existence. No one understands, and it’s so isolating.
