Was getting better, but now getting worse

AlisonLynn

I had ppd symptoms from day one. I got on meds shortly after having DS. They have really helped. Lately I have been feeling really bad in the afternoon/evenings. I can't stop obsessing over how big he is getting and how quickly it is happening. I also am completely dreading work. I just CANNOT go back. I physically cannot do it. I still have about a month left but it is always on my mind. I feel like it is ruining my time with my son. I don't know what to do. I just want to cry...

I am so sorry that it's getting worse again.  I can totally relate to your situation, except mine is the opposite.  I feel way worse in the morning/early afternoon and better at night. Have you talked to your doctor about possible upping your medication dosage or adding something on top of it to maybe take the edge off for a while?  I took lexapro for about four years and throughout my pregnancy.  After I had my DD I had to go to the dr. and get another medication to take on top of the lexapro, so now i take xanax xr and lexapro daily.  I'm still not feeling awesome, but at least part of the day doesn't totally suck.  I hate hearing it so I'm not going to say "hang in there, it gets better."  But :hugs: for you.
