That people with financial strains are more likely to get PPD?
My husband informed me of this today at lunch. He learned it in his research of how to understand what Im going through. We are very lucky and I feel blessed not to be in this category but it got me thinking......
Could the fact that Im a worrier about money and always have been (grew up very poor) that is leading my PPD on? We have a 3 year old and twin babies not to mention just buying a new house. I know in my head that we have to money to pay our bills but I honestly get HIVES, yes, I get hives, when I spend money. So it would lead me to believe that money, saddly, could be a huge part of my depression.
So where do I go from here? Not a damn clue. lol

I would agree. People always say money can't buy happiness, but it does make things a lot easier (at least a little). When we have a good amount of money floating around I am a little less stressed about certain things. Obviously many of my issues don't disappear, but if I'm having a horrible day I don't going out to get some sushi for example.
If we have a little less floating around, I worry about something happening and draining our savings. My dad had cancer 2x's and ended up with almost a million dollars in bills (after insurance paid their portion). Things like that go through my mind all the time...
i'm actually writing my psychology research paper on PPD and one section of the research is just this.
