Postpartum Depression
Vent.
I've been on Celexa after some issues with Zoloft and Prozac. It's been a few months now but the past two weeks have been getting rough. The little guy has never slept through the night and it's just starting to wear on me again. The medication seems to not be working the way it was for a brief period. I'm weary to up my dosage again since I'm on a pretty high dose for my size. I just don't know what else to do. The counseling isn't doing anything for me and I just feel trapped again. The depression is eating away at me and I hate that I sometimes can't just enjoy my moments with my son, even if it's at two in the morning.
It's just one of those days.

Re: Vent.
That sucks. I'm sorry. I understand where you are coming from. I'm having a rough day and I'm struggling with whether its PMS, being tired, a one day thing or the beginning of a decline.
Who are you seeing for medication management? If you aren't seeing a psychiatrist, you may want to consider that. While primary care docs and OB/GYNs have some experience, psychiatrists are the specialists.
While short-term, is there anything that you can do for yourself as a bit of a pick-me-up? Something you usually enjoy? I know its hard to think of things like that when the world seems so gray.
There are times that I just find myself so distracted and I make myself get down on the floor with my son (who is just a bit younger than yours!). That makes me feel a bit less bad.

Thank you for the response!
I'm seeing a psychiatrist bi-weekly and a therapist weekly at the moment. So I'm definitely seeing the best which is why my meds have been switched up so much. She's trying to find something that works the best for me.
It's just the meantime that's killing me. The constant switching of meds and dosages is just not working, obviously. I know nothing is going to magically make me feel better but sometimes I wish it would, lol.
I try! It's just so hard to get up and do anything lately. I'm just so blah. I'll have to get FI to watching the little man so I can have a girls night or something.
