I'm not sure if its just developing or I'm finally opening my eyes to whats going on. My mom has mentioned a few times that I can get pretty biitchy and snappy with her, and I'm just now hearing how I talk to people. I'm always agitated, if not just flat out angry. I have NO sex drive, and making my husband upset because of it, even though I obviously don't mean to. Today I got overwhelmed with work so quickly, and just cried for 20 minutes. That workload would never get to me like that before. Does it sound like PPD.. or am I just going through a weird phase?
Symptoms can start anytime within a year of giving birth, it's not always right away. I had PPD after my first and didn't have depression issues so much as OCD tendancies, anxiety, anger issues, and I had intrusive thoughts. Here's a great website that has info on PPD:
Yes! This is a common misconception about PPD. It doesn't just happen right after you have the baby. It can happen up to a year afterward. I was diagnosed with PPD when DS was 8 months old. I would definitely talk to someone about it.
