I had a premature son, and he was in the NICU for 3 weeks..and i was there with him every single day. I would stay strong while i was with him, but as soon as a doctor or nurse would talk to me i would have to leave and i would bawl my eyes out. After DS was 3 months old, we moved into our new home, and when DS was about 4 months old, i completely changed. I wanted nothing to do with him, and i wouldn't talk to DH. My doctor put me on meds, and i took them for about 3 months, when he decided to wean me off of the meds. I have been off of them for about a month now, and have been doing well, but just this past week, I have started being rude to my DH when he has not done a thing wrong. He has always been very supportive, and i have no idea why i'm acting this way. Sometimes when my DS is crying, i get uptight. I have never had any thoughts about hurting anyone even since i had the PPD...
My question is...Do i need to talk to someone? Do i need a therapist? or just to talk to a friend?
I don't want my friends to think differently because of this. I also don't want it to be the only thing i talk about with them. I feel stuck, and stressed out. Please Help

I know i still need it. my OB had no reason to take me off of it at all. I did feel normal again when i was on it. (i was also on zoloft), i actually felt happy. now i feel as though i'm faking it around everyone. my long time friends want to get together, and i tell them i'm busy or sick.
