Postpartum Depression

Would anyone else like to discuss their experience with postpartum depression? I had a really hard time adjusting and connecting with my son when he was born. It got pretty bad. Fortunately, I was able to get help and was prescribed antidepressants. Now I feel much better. But I am still having a hard time having those feelings that my son is the most important person in the world. I don't having those overwhelming feelings of love like I feel like I should. It makes me feel so guilty and like a horrible mother. Has anyone else felt this way? I don't know of anyone else with postpartum depression and could use some guidance.

I feel similarly. I am working part time and have a 4 mth old and love seeing him when I get home but don’t exactly miss him like a feel I should when I’m working. PPD hit me pretty good and I still struggling with it and it makes me feel disconnected from both my spouse and baby at times but it’s so hard to vocalize that in a way people might understand.
