Maybe too early for PPD

Aniegbuna

This is my first time posting. I gave birth on May 10th so maybe I am posting too early but I can def say that I am showing signs of PPD. Since I have given birth I have been on the verge of tears everyday, these feelings mostly stem from the way my H is treating me. Since LO was born he has been more mean than nice to me. He has been very quick to be snappy and speaks to me in such a hard manner that it's made me run away crying. I don't know if everything seems much bigger than it is because I am feeling so sensitive but I have seriously had it. I am to the point where I am going to take the baby and stay at my parents for a couple of days because I am so stressed over it all. I can't talk to him about it right now because I said some nasty things during a fight yesterday so he has completely shut down right now. I need to wait until he gets over it before I even attempt a convo.

 I guess this post is more of an outlet for me to get this all out. I don't want to be sad anymore. Whenever I imagined my life with my husband post baby it looked nothing like this. I am so happy to have LO here and I hate that I am burdened with this feeling of sadness because of H. 

Thank you for letting me get this out.

Big (((hugs))) to you.

It is definitely not too early for PPD.  I hope that you have been able to find some support since the time that you first posted this.  My DH was wonderful with me the first few weeks, fortunately, but after a while, he seemed to lose sympathy for me and my issues.  After a while, I think he took offense to things that I would say were part of my disorder.

I think that you should definitely contact your doctor to see if he can give you something to help out with PPD, and I would also recommend seeking out a support group in your area.  Some groups even have phone support if you can't get out on a regular basis.  If you need to go be with your parents for your sake, go ahead.  I am sorry that your DH is behaving badly towards you, or maybe just not being sensitive enough to you right now.  I would try to confront him at time when things are calm (e.g. baby not screaming), and try to help him understand what you are going through, and what you need from him.
