I think I may have PPD.

Hi everyone.

My DS is 6 months old.  I've been noticing changes in myself over the past few weeks that I feel may mean that I have developed PPD.  After doing some research it's sounding more & more like it.  I just feel down all the time.  I have no one in my life that I know has suffered from this, so I'm hoping to find someone to confide in through this site.  I feel like it's causing unnecessary drama in my marriage & I can't confide in my husband because he wouldn't listen to me.  If anyone would like to swap emails or facebook info - I would really appreciate having someone to talk to that's going through the same things that I am.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sorry to hear that youre going thru this... I am 34 weeks pregnant, and have been battling depressing for years prior to conceiving, and it has shown its ugly head while Ive been pregnant too... The doctors say that I will probably go thru PPD, b/c of my history of depression, so maybe we have a few things in common.... if you'd like, you can add me on fb,. Im Belinda Giroux

I'm sorry there is no one for you to confide in, that has to be rough. I have a 4.5 month old daughter and have been dealing with depression and anxiety since long before she was born.  I would be happy to swap emails or FB info, my email is clpell24@yahoo.com.  Most importantly though, if you think you have PPD, don't let yourself go without talking to someone, you need to get help.  Hang in there, mama.

I am in the same boat.  I realized today that I probably have ppd too.  At first I thought I was just depressed because I recently lost my job (i'm the main bread winner) but now its just everything that annoys me.  I don't feel like i can talk to my husband because he suffers from depression too and in my mind he'll just say "yeah so". - I would never hurt anyone nor myself so don't worry about that.  I'm crying as i type this.
