Not sure

I'm posting from my phone so sorry if this is a mess. Can it still be PPD without sadness concerning your baby? I have the easiest sweetest daughter, but I've started to feel she is the only good thing I have. It seems so long after having her to have ppd. I can never get out of my head and I still am not over my csection. It's such a stupid thing to obsess over, but it bothers me so much more than I can admit to anyone. Everything I do, I feel guilty I'm not doing something else. When I Play with her, I should working, and when I am working, I feel guilty I'm not playing with her. I end up spending most of my day sitting like a lump on the couch trying to decide what to do. Sorry for the whining, I just Had a bad night and started wondering if maybe my feelings are a bit more than just stress.

It is more than possible!  With my PPD, the only time I was truly happy was when I was with my son.  When I was with him was the only time I would smile.  I knew his daycare was taking excellent care of him, but I was feeling guilty that I had to work and that it wasn't ME taking care of him.  I withdrew from everything else in my life. I didn't talk much to friends anymore, I didn't go anywhere, etc. 

It is definitely NOT too late to get PPD.  I was diagnosed with PPD when my son was almost 7 months old.  You can get it anytime within the first year, or up to a year after you stop BF'ing.  I would call your OB and talk about how you are feeling.  It can get much better, I promise!  GL
