Ppd help

AprilAngie

I feel every day my PPd and anxiety is getting worse. Now everyday I have an anxiety attack at keast once. Yesterday and today were bad with multiple attacks. Dh doesn't get it! Although I get it after all my kids and this is no. 4 it seems worse and worse.

Dh not working and him going to school and the kids and finances and just life is makin me so down. I am doing too much, not sleeping, ending dd; she wont take a bottle. I am so exhausted!!!!

Today we called the healthlink and thy said to go to the hospital; so I did as I know I need help. I went there and on monday they have a community support group that will come and give me strategies and coping ideas specific to my needs. That's all great BUT, reality is a lot different than what I should be doing! I'm tryin SI desperately ti get my mental health better for me and my kids but I just feel that this ppd is ruining me!!!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.  Hang in there - your kids need you to take good care of yourself!

Maybe the group will be able to offer more information on coping or give references to other professional in the area? I hope they can offer you what you need!

I hope going to this group helps you. It's so great to have a group of people IRL that are going through the same thing as you are. Your stress is completely understandable with four kids and your financial situation. Just remember that you're only one person and you can only do so much!

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. Mental illness is cruel. I suffer from anxiety and, although I was extremely lucky during pregnancy, this postpartum period has been difficult and I can feel myself getting worse every day. I understand the constant worry and daily struggle. 

I hope the group helps. Please keep us updated.
