Major trouble concentrating

les&jusles&jus
in Postpartum Depression
I am having so much trouble concentrating on life, pretty much.  I just realized that I forgot my dad's birthday.  My family doesn't always see each other on a member's birthday, we usually wait until the weekend to have a party, but we will always call each other with well-wishes.  I just called him and he totally forgave me and didn't really care, but I still feel awful.  In addition, I forgot my sister's birthday back in January.  I feel like absolute crap.  I feel like I do not have a hold on things.  My mind is always preoccupied with the baby and I feel like I can't ever relax.  The real problem is that I don't know what to do about it.  Anyone else feel the same way?

    TOTALLY!  I felt like I was barely hanging on to my life by a thread and that the thread was unravelling very fast!  I felt like my life was totally out of my control.  It was awful!  Add to that the depression and crying and anger and everything else, and I was in an awful place for several weeks.  I finally broke down and called my OB.  I'm oh so glad that I did.  I'm on Zoloft, Deplin and B-complex vitamins.  They are helping so much!  She did give me the name of a therapist, but I haven't gone to her yet.  I wanted to try the meds first, because my schedule isnt' very flexible.  If you haven't yet, I would suggest calling your OB, it really was a huge weight lifted off of my chest!  GL!

    I was thinking about those B-complex vitamens.  My husband actually takes them.  Do you know if they are okay to take while BFing and in addition to prenatals?
