Postpartum Depression

I'll be hanging out around here more often...

So I just wanted to say hi :)

I've struggled with depression in the past, and have been off meds and feeling great for a couple of years now. 

In the past few weeks I feel all the old familiar symptoms starting to come back...being overwhelmed by everything, crying all the time, anxiety, withdrawing from everything I normally love to do, not sleeping well, headaches.  And I guess because I'm still in the first year of my babe's life it will be considered PPD by my doctor.

I'll be talking to my GP when we go for Kieran's 6 month appointment in 2 weeks and I guess I'll see what to do from there.

  • Welcome!  I didn't get help {mostly because I didn't realize I needed it} until my son was about 5 months old.  This board is slow, but it's helpful to have around.
