9 months PP and not sure

in Postpartum Depression

Since DS has been born I have not been okay.  From the outside everything is fine, happy but I am really starting to think that some of the things I am feeling / thinking might be a sign of something else.  I have an underactive thyroid and am still trying to get my levels right so that might be a factor as well.  I am working with my doctor to get the level right and got the name of a therapist that specializes in PPD. 

I guess I am just a litle bit at a loss for what may be happening.  It took a while (about 10 weeks) for me really to bond with DS.  I love DS terribly but I also feel distant from him and DH.  I BF and that is hard but I am really committed to making it to a year.  I know this is a jumble but I am simply writing to force myself to admit that maybe something isn't right.  Glad that this forum is here.

    I know when I approached my MW about PPD, she tested me for Thyroid problems.  She said it can mimick PPD.  So, if you know that you have thyroid issues, you might not have PPD at all.  But, then again, you might.  I wish I could be of more help.  Feel free to jumble all you want!  I hope you find the right help!
