i just really dont know what to do. sometimes i just feel so hopeless, other days i have such high anxiety, ill get pissed outta no where. i wont wanna be around anybody or other days i feel like no one wants to be around me. i feel like nobody likes me and that i can just crawl into a dark hole and stay there. some days the only reason why is get is addie. i feel like such a horrible mom. she will start to fuss and i dont want to hold her but i do and then ill feel bad for feeling that and then love on her and play with her. i feel like im passing up great opportunities with her and feel like im taking her for granted. i just really dont know what to do. i know i should talk to a doctor but dont know how to tell them and dont know who to tell. i told dh and he said  understand and agrees that i should see someone. i just dont know what to do in the meantime...help me or tell me ill get through this please.

Just know that your aren't alone. I would definitely call your OB and set up an appointment. I had anxiety/depression issues prior to getting pregnant so I knew I was at a higher risk for developing PPD. I'm back on Zoloft now so hopefully I'll see a marked improvement.

I think what you are feeling is normal after just having a baby. Our hormones are all over the place. If you've been feeling like this for more the two weeks it's probably not the baby blues and more like PPD. Take the first step and call your doctor. Good luck.

just call your OB and tell them that you think you have PPD and would like to setup an appointment to talk about it.

My answer is I think yes, please call your OB they will help you.

I totally know how you feel. I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow because my mother insisted I get some kind of help. It's just so hard for me because dh and I live with my mother and the pressures aren't easier. I feel so bad sometimes for not wanting to be around ds, and I too feel like a horrible mother. I hope you get the help too. If you need someone to chat with, ps me. I'll be glad to listen.
