It's official...

I have PPD, just like I thought...my doctor confirmed it yesterday at DS's 6 month check up.

I've dealt with depression before so I knew as soon as I started feeling different that it was probably coming back.  I hate that I have to deal with it again though after being free from it for so long.   

I'm kind of feeling like a failure of a mom right now, and I know I shouldn't because this is beyond my control, but I can't help it.  I need a hug LOL

Anyway I'm on a low dose of Cipralex (I think in the US it's called Lexapro) to see if it helps.  Fingers crossed...I hate feeling like this!

    I'm sorry, I know how you feel (sometimes it doesn't matter what anyone says, you feel bad). Good luck - I was on Lexapro and it worked wonders for me! I hope you start feeling better soon.
