Delayed PPD?

pc150805

Is it possible for PPD to show up around 5-6 months? I had depression/anxiety as a teenage and into my college years, but I always thought it was the "normal" stuff. Now I'm 5m2w PP and I feel like I'm jumping out of my skin. When I am at work, I'm angry because I want to get home. When I am home I just want to get away. We have a terrific baby, not difficult at all, so I'm not sure why it all feels so overwhelming. DH helps a lot so it's not like I have a major burden. Are these PPD symptoms? It has just started happening in the past 2-3 weeks.

Yes mine developed around the same time. You should make an appt with your OB. I hope you get some help and feel better soon!

Sounds like it to me too,,, I just got on Zoloft for this exact same feeling along with tons of anxiety that was idling constantly... My LO just turned 3 mo & I've read that any time after baby within a year symptoms can develop. 

Id call your doc & come up with a plan

You don't have to live this way

Mine wasn't diagnosed until around 9mo pp.  I didn't realize that was where my issues were coming from.  My "issues" included anger, irritability by pretty much everyone and everything, severe exhaustion, didn't want to go out at all, and more.  Really, I should have known but didn't.+

Mine didn't smack me in the face until 7 months PP.  You can be diagnosed with PPD/PPA up until the first year PP.
