Postpartum Depression

Intro

IDK how to really do an intro..but here it goes.

I'm a mother of 2.. R is a little over a year and F is a month old.

I'm 80% sure that I originally got PPD after my daughter's birth. I was worried that people would judge me for not being stable and therefore never got help. When I got pregnant with my son it got worse, but I was still worried about judgement and repeatedly convinced myself that it was the hormones.

At my 4 week check-up I finally opened up and told my OB what I was going through, after escalating fights with my husband, frequent crying fits, and feeling that my children would be better off without me around I was convinced that I needed help. I was just sick of not wanting to be there for anyone.

I started Prozac 20mg today..a slight relief feeling but nothing "real"..hopefully in a week or 2 i'll be better.

I'm also choosing to EBF while on Prozac..everythings been approved after talks with EVERYONE..I'm hoping it'll be the right choice in the end..

Sorry that got so long
