It just occurred to me that I'm

not "stressed out".  I have PPD.

I feel like each day is worse than the day before.  I'm so tired/stressed/busy/unmotivated that I can't even get out of the house anymore.  I'm drowning.  I just broke a fan out of anger.  Yeah. 

I really wish H would just stop working 12 hour days voluntarily.  He chooses to work these hours.  When I complain that I wish he was home more and says he wishes he was too and tells me how hard he has it b/c of his hours.  I'm sure he's going to be oh so pleased when I tell him I think I have ppd.

Too bad my mother never shows up when she tells she's going to come over to help.  B/c I could realy use the help these days.

Do you think PPD will get better once I go back to work? Probably not.

    Hang in there. It will get better. In the mean time you may need to seek some help. Your doctor should be able to tell you how to deal/perscribe something that might help you.

    You need to call your doctor ASAP and tell him of your concerns/problems.

    I didn't/don't have PPD but if you think that you do then going back to work is not going to make it any better.  I was actually more stressed the first week or so after starting work.  I think you should talk to your DH about how you're feeling, maybe look up some facts on what PPD is so you can explain it to him (I know my DH has no clue what PPD involves).  And also tell your mom what is going on and stress how important it is to you to have help or get time off once in a while.  And lastly, you should talk to your OB or your LO's pedi so they help you find a counselor or get a prescription.  I hope you are able to get the support of your DH and family on this.

    Any friends you know of in your area who can help? PPD is serious--if you're in my area (Minneapolis), I'll do what I can if you need me!

    See your doc ASAP!
