The last 3 days have been hell... couldn't sleep, eat, all I did was cry all the time and scream. Ended up in the emergency room and am now going to go to the "partial" program for counseling, at the hospital, which is 6 hours per day 5 days per week for 2 weeks. I feel better today - but the past 3 days have been HELL. I have never experienced anything like it. I have never been so scared in my life.
If any one of you starts to experience such terrible symptoms please seek help immediately. My DH sought help on my behalf and thank goodness he did. I cannot believe that I just lived through these last 3 days, let alone the past 2 weeks .. I really really hope it gets better.
Re: So this is what Post Partum Depression feels like
I am so sorry you are going thru this, all the best to you and your family.
I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. I don't know if you read my post from a day or two ago entitled I give up... But I think that I am right there with you.
I am in the middle of trying to find someone that will help me, that fits my needs and will work with me financially, which is harder than you would think. I am so glad that your husband sought help on your behalf. I hope that this 2 week course helps you find the strength within you that you need in order to get through this. You and your family are in my thoughts! ::BIG HUGS::
I lost my daughter at 23 weeks 3 days. Feel free to pm me if you need to vent. I also started a blog, if you'd like to be added just send me your email address.
It hurts. But as cliche-ey as it sounds, it will get easier.
I am so sorry for what you have been going through. I wish I could give you a million hugs to take away your pain. It is so great that you are able to get help, I am so glad your DH got you there. I wondered too how much post partum depression contributed to how I felt once our daughter was stillborn. It is so unfair, first you lose your babies, then you get the hormonal depression, it's like a 1-2 punch.
I see you are also in Minneapolis. Our daughter was stillborn at Methodist. If I can be of some support to you too, send me a note. I am so worried about you, please keep us posted.
