Hi there. When I had my son...many moons ago....I had post pardom. I didn’t even know what that was. He was my second child. With my first I didn’t experience it so to now have these feelings felt so wrong and scary. My boyfriend at the time was soooo unsupportive. He didn’t understand it. Heck I didn’t understand it. I finally opened up to a family member about it. And she brought me to the doctor who explained that it was COMPLETELY normal and sooooo many women go through it. It’s a hormonal change in our bodies that we can’t control. Talk to your doc. You may need a change in dose or to switch to another med. and message me if you ever need to vent!! Sometimes just talking it out can really help :) as a mommy who’s been there, I’m here if you need me.

I went through PPD and Psychosis. Horrific and none of my providers could help me. I walked around the house like a zombie for months until my sister came over and drove me to psych center. Still, I was messed up for a year and a half after that.

I’ve had depression and anxiety since I was 10 years old, I also suffer from PTSD and I’m recovering from an eating disorder (I prefer to not say). Well, I gave birth in March to my daughter & only child, now I have severe PPD/PPA and it seems to be getting worse. I take Prozac, but I’m not sure it’s helping. Lately though, things are getting worse. I never want to eat, I’m never happy anymore, I feel so lost and alone. I feel as if I’m nothing more than a mom. I love my daughter, I’m overly attached to my daughter.. but I feel as if nobody cares about me like they do her. My relationship is weird. We hardly even kiss each other, I try talking to him about how I feel but he tells me that I’m a mom and that’s part of it.. but I can feel myself sinking into that dark hole I tried so hard to get myself out of. I don’t have anyone to turn to. I feel so lost and alone. ? does anyone have any advice for me? I hate feeling like I do. It’s to the point where I’m not even eating or sleeping, I’m crying almost constantly. I just hate it
