help :(

in Postpartum Depression
I've been feeling so down lately. I've had a diagnosis of depression for almost 10 years, but when I'm on my meds (Celexa) I am able to manage it really well. I don't know if this is exhaustion or PPD a little late in the game but all those feelings are coming back - anxiety, sadness, worthlessness, hopelessness. Does PPD hit this late in the game? Is it my old depression rearing it's ugly head and I jsut have to fight through it? Or is it just exhaustion from being at home with a 5 month old all day every day?

    You can start getting symptoms up until a year. Don't try and pull yourselves out by your bootstraps. Can you go see someone?

    My doctor said that they keep an eye out for PPD as long as 18 months postpartum. ?I definitely think you should speak to your doctor. ?Best wishes.

    Your hormones are still out of whack, so yes, it could be.  Either way, though, definitely call your doctor. 

    I hope you feel better!

    You are definitely still vulnerable.  Talk to your Dr as there are some great resources in the Toronto area!

    I had some baby blues at first, but I don't think that my issues started until he was 6 months old.  Things got worse and then I got help and it got better.  Good luck!  You should definitely talk to your doctor.
