PPD/Grief

in Postpartum Depression

I think I need to call my dr.  My brother passed away three weeks ago and I just feel so depressed.  I just want to sleep all the time.  I am so mean to my DH and he has been nothing but supportive to me.  I don't do it on purpose and feel horrible but it seems he is bearing the brunt of my problems and it's starting to put a strain on our relationship, we don't sleep in the same bed anymore.

I had Implanon put in Dec and have had AF for over a month, my hormones are a mess.  I don't know if it is PPD (don't even know if it can happen this late), I don't know if I am grieving properly or just masking it, or is it my stupid hormones from this BC.  I don't know if I can put up the "happy" facade anymore to people outside my unhappy home.  Just needed to vent.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks for listening.

    I am so sorry for all that you are going through.  I can't imagine lossing a brother at such a young age.

    PPD can develop up to a year after delivery.  You may be suffering from PPD, but there are other factors that you have pointed out.  I would call your OB and start there.

    I hope that you are able to get the help that you need to get you through this especially difficult time.  My thoughts are with you.

    (((Hugs))) I'm sorry about your brother. I think calling your doc is the right thing to do - I do think you need to talk with a therapist to help you sort out your feelings. PPD can pop up anytime in the first year - you may have it, you may not, but I think you'll need help to figure it out.

    Good luck to you. Keep up posted.

    Yo uare only human!  Dealing with that sort of grief coupled with the normal hormonal swings from being Postpartum is just the perfect recipe for depression.  I am so sorry about what you are going through.  Don't hesitate to seek help!
