Question about PPD

I've already made an appt. to go and see my OB about this but I wanted to hear ya'lls thoughts on this matter too.

So, lately I've been very moody and irratible especially towards DH. He does nothing wrong and I'm always snapping at him and getting really angry with him. I find myself thinking throughout the day like "I wish he would leave"; "I want to divorce him".It's like I'm fine but then he comes home or says something to me and I take it the wrong way and I just become a pissy moody b!tch. But I know that I do NOT want either of those things. I have no angry feelings toward DS and enjoy our time together; of course there are days where I'm tired and don't feel like dealing with him, like any other mother does, but of course I do.

I did some research on PPD and nothing mentioned anything about having negative/angry feelings towards your spouse. So now I'm wondering is it a mood thing possibly due to Mirena? It seems like I have started acting/feeling this way since getting it put in but I also know that PPD can show its self anywhere in the 1st year after having a baby.

I got the Mirena put in in early January and at the same time started back at school and at an internship. So I'm wondering if I'm just feeling extremely overwhelmed/stressed and he's the one I take it out on or if it's a side effect of the Mirena or a form of PPD.

I have dealth with depression before and this feels nothing like it but I am also aware (been told by others and read) that depression and ppd feel totally different.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this? TIA

    PPD doesn't have to be directed only at your baby.  i didn't have thoughts like that towards my husband but i did have irrational thoughts that i knew deep down weren't true.  i have heard of people having issues with mirena and hormones/mood swings.  i'd talk to my OB and see what they think.

    I don't have mirena, so I can't make any educated comments about that.  This is what I can offer - I was constantly mad at my husband.  I was never upset with my son.  I always wanted to be with my son, and hated being away from him.  I found myself almost picking fights with my husband, and doing things to piss him off.  I would never normally do these kinds of things.  I also started doing this towards my mother.  I was being petty - very very petty.  I was so embarrassed to admit to my midwife how I was acting towards the people that I loved.  She looked at me, smiled and said that it wasn't me, that it was PPD and that there was something that I could do about it.  Please, go talk to your OB.  I don't know if it is the mirena or PPD for you, but something isn't right, and it deserves to be fixed.  GL!!
