Post partum depression

TRA0816

So I am going tomorrow to discuss anti depressants with my doctor. I've been in denial that I need help. I'm not really even "sad". Just angry all the time. really really angry. I didn't think PPD could hit this late in the game but it has. I don't feel like harming my child, or myself. I just feel angry and irrational and stressed out. I'm not posting this for advice necessarily..just throwing it out there for anybody in the same spot as me

My midwives actually told me the risk for PPD is highest around 6 months so try to be aware of how you feel and get help fast.  Good for you for being proactive and seeking help.  So many women deny their symptoms because fir some stupid reason it is believed that PPD somehow makes us weak or inferior as a parent when it's something we have absolutely no control over.  I hope your dr is helpful and you're able to get the solution you need.
Eta: the rest of my post.

Yes! I had the same thing hit me at just over 3 months pp.  And mine was mainly anger too. Luckily I recognized it after the second day and immediately got on meds. I hate feeling so irrational.

I started wellbutrin yesterday. I have a really supportive Dr and husband so hopefully things will improve!
