I got PPD with my last son. It never ended, actually. He is almost 4 years old, and I was taking prozac up until I found out I was pregnant this last time. I felt pretty good emotionally this whole pregnancy, so I was hoping that depression was a permanent thing of the past. The last few days, my frustration has been getting more and more severe. I am able to recognize the signs, so I would never hurt my child or myself, but sometimes I would REALLY love to hurt somebody. I know that when I start feeling that, I need to walk away. I cried for about an hour last night. After the episode is over, I feel an immense feeling of guilt, and then that makes me feel shitty again. It takes a little bit for me to snap out of it finally. It looks like I'll be calling my OB today. I guess this is something that I can't escape!
